“By God’s word.”
I'm already overly immersed. Actor Kim Seong-cheol will join the Netflix series 'Hell 2', replacing Yoo Ah-in.
On the 2nd, Netflix announced the casting lineup for 'Hell 2'. Following Kim Hyun-joo, Kim Shin-rok, Lee Dong-hee, Yang Ik-jun, and Lee Re, who appeared in Season 1, Kim Seong-cheol, Yang Dong-geun, Min Hye-jin, Lim Seong-jae , Jo Dong-in, and Moon Geun-young join as new faces.
'Hell 2' is a story about a supernatural phenomenon in which people are sentenced to hell by the messengers of hell who appear without warning, and who take advantage of this chaos to become entangled with the revived religious group Saejinrihoe and those who try to reveal the truth of the incident.
The most notable person in the lineup is Kim Seong-cheol. Kim Seong-cheol played the role of Jeong Jin-su in 'Hell 2'. Jeong Jin-su is the first chairman of the New Truth Society who hid his journey to hell in order to protect its doctrines. Previously, in Season 1, the role of Jeong Jin-su was played by Yoo Ah-in. In 'Hell 2', Kim Seong-cheol, not Yoo Ah-in, plays Jeong Jin-su.
Recently, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety requested the police to investigate, saying that Yoo Ah-in administered 4,497 mL of propofol 73 times from January 4, 2021 to December 23, 2021. On February 5, the police executed a search and seizure warrant for Yoo Ah-in's body at Incheon International Airport and conducted a quick urine test. As a result of analysis by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation, it was reported that three types of narcotic substances were detected in Yoo Ah-in's hair.
Netflix changed the casting for 'Hell 2'. Originally, Yoo Ah-in was scheduled to appear in 'Hell 2', which is scheduled to be filmed in the summer. However, Netflix listed relief pitcher Kim Seong-cheol instead of Yoo Ah-in. After revealing the cast line-up for 'Hell 2' on Netflix's SNS, Kim Seong-cheol left a comment saying, "By God's word," showing that he was already overly immersed. Netflix also responded, “I believe it.”
Seongcheol Kim continues his hard work this year. He is currently appearing in the play 'Shakespeare in Love'. He will then participate in the encore performance of the musical 'Death Note', which opens on April 1. In addition, he decided to appear in the movie 'Comment Unit' (working title, director Ahn Gook-jin). Kim Seong-cheol's challenges, whether on stage or screen, are expected to shine. Attention is being paid to how Kim Seong-cheol, who will erase Yoo Ah-in's traces in 'Hell 2', will look like.
