“The Player” is gearing up to return with Season 2 and exciting new cast members!
For the upcoming season, Oh Yeon Seo and Jang Gyuri are currently in discussions to join the cast. On January 27, Oh Yeon Seo’s agency Story J Company revealed, “Actress Oh Yeon Seo has received an offer for ‘The Player 2’ and is currently reviewing it.” They added, “She has received an offer for the role of Jung Soo Min. As nothing has been confirmed yet, it’s difficult to share more about the role she’s been offered.”
On the same day, Jang Gyuri’s agency JUST Entertainment commented, “It’s true that actress Jang Gyuri has received an offer for ‘The Player 2.’ She’s currently positively reviewing [the offer].” It’s said that Jang Gyuri is in talks to play the role of Jae Yi, a skilled driver who hides a soft heart underneath her stern exterior.
OCN’s 2018 drama “The Player” followed a con artist, a hacker, a fighter, and a driver who worked together to take down the wealthy and corrupt. The first season starred Song Seung Heon, Lee Si Eon, Krystal, Tae Won Suk, and more.
While Song Seung Heon has been confirmed to reprise his role, Krystal won’t return, with her agency H& Entertainment confirming, “Krystal will not be appearing in ‘The Player 2.'”
Filming for Season 2 is set to begin in the first half of the year.
