Tension Rises as Kim Da-som's Character is Kidnapped by Villain 'Jwibangeul' in 'Salon de Holmes'

In the latest episode of ENA's 'Salon de Holmes' aired on the 7th, viewers were left on the edge of their seats as So-hee, played by Kim Da-som, becomes the next target and is kidnapped by the villain 'Jwibangeul'. The episode also revealed the shocking identity of 'Jwibangeul' as Tae-hoon, the model student son of the neighborhood association president, played by Jang Jae-ho.

Gong Mi-ri (Lee Si-young), Choo Kyung-ja (Jung Young-joo), and Jeon Ji-hyun (Nam Gi-ae) uncover that the building representative (Son Sung-ho) is the pervert who appears around the apartment complex on rainy nights. However, they argue that he might not be 'Jwibangeul', despite the neighborhood association president's (Park Ji-a) denial, citing property values. Meanwhile, they grow suspicious of the sudden disappearance of resident Kang Yoon-joo (Lee Hwa-kyum) from unit 902. So-hee witnesses 'Jwibangeul' emerging from unit 902, making her his target. The brutal killing of a stray cat she cared for adds to the chilling atmosphere.

The body of the missing resident Kang Yoon-joo is discovered, escalating the tension further. At the scene, the knotting technique of the serial killer and sex offender 'Ribbon Man', who murdered Mi-ri's friend Ji-eun in the past, is found, raising questions about whether the killer is the long-absent Ribbon Man or a copycat.

Amidst this, So-hee, the youngest of the four, is kidnapped by 'Jwibangeul'. Upon regaining consciousness, she finds herself face-to-face with Tae-hoon, who reveals himself as 'Jwibangeul' and threatens to kill her. So-hee resists, declaring, "Even if it's not for others, I can't die. I won't die. I'm a mother," but ultimately loses consciousness at the hands of Tae-hoon, who holds a red ribbon.

Mi-ri, learning that So-hee is raising her sick son Yul alone, senses something is amiss when she loses contact with So-hee, especially as Yul's condition worsens, requiring surgery. Following So-hee's trail, Mi-ri discovers traces of her at Tae-hoon's hideout in unit 405, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
