Comedy Meets Chaos in Korea’s Favorite Spy Sequel
This Chuseok, make room between your songpyeon (Korean rice cakes) and family reunions—because “Hitman 2” is crashing into your living room with punches and punchlines. The 2025 action-comedy sequel is set to air at 10 PM on October 6 via KBS2, promising an explosive holiday night of laughter and thrills.
Kwon Sangwoo Returns as Webtoon-Writing Assassin
Directed by Choi Wonseop, “Hitman 2” picks up where the original left off. Kwon Sangwoo reprises his role as Jun, a former elite assassin turned webtoon artist. After briefly riding high on the success of his comic based on his secret assassin past, Jun’s second season backfires—earning him the unwelcome label of a “burnout writer.” Yikes.
But hang tight—it gets wilder. His new storyline attracts real international villains to Korea, blurring fiction and reality in the most chaotic way possible. When the story he draws starts to mimic actual crimes, even the National Intelligence Service (NIS) suspects him of being behind them. Comic irony? More like comic crisis.
Star-Studded Cast Packs a Comedic Punch
The film’s cast is loaded with comedic heavyweights and charismatic scene-stealers. Besides Kwon Sangwoo, we see Jung Junho, Hwang Woo Seul-hye, Lee Yi-kyung, Kim Sung-oh, Lee Ji-won, and Han Ji-eun all bringing the action and absurdity to life.
Fans of the original movie and the webtoon it’s based on will enjoy the meta-layers and high-energy pace. Think Deadpool meets Manhwa meets Korean family drama.
Catch the Mayhem This Holiday
Whether you’re a comic fan, action movie junkie, or looking for a good laugh with the fam during the holidays, “Hitman 2” delivers the perfect combination of stunts, satire, and spy drama. Will Jun clear his name—and maybe finish a webtoon chapter for once?
