Regarding Season 2, Lee Joon commented, “You’ll witness a 180-degree shift in Min Do Hyuk compared to Season 1. In the previous season, Do Hyuk appeared easily influenced by others and immature, but in this season, he underwent significant changes to the extent that viewers might perceive him as an entirely different character. I also dedicated considerable effort to altering his voice tone and expression.”

“The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection” is slated to premiere on March 29 at 10 p.m. KST. Stay tuned!
