Hellbound Season 2 introduces Kim Sung-cheol as the new actor who plays Jeong Ji-su, replacing Yoo Ah-in after he was dropped from the sophomore season due to a drug use scandal in 2023.
The hit Netflix supernatural K-drama brings back a lot of characters from Season 1 as it continues its unusual premise of divine deaths happening in front of the public eye.
Aside from the storyline centered around divine interventions, Season 2 showcases more of the political drama as the Arrowheads have taken over a dystopian future set in South Korea.
Hellbound Season 2 premiered on Netflix on October 25.

Kim Sung-cheol - Jung Jinsu
Kim Sung-cheol makes his Hellbound debut in Season 2 as Jung Jinsu, the one who started the New Truth.
In the past, Jinsu received a decree that he was hellbound, which was the sole reason why he established New Truth in the first place.
Members of the New Truth see Jinsu as the messiah, the person who God chose to help humans make amends for their wrongdoings before it is too late.
The cult-like organization made the public realize that executions are divine interventions where God is sending demons to punish sinners on Earth.
Jinsu ended up dying in Season 1 during the day of his execution.
Hellbound Season 2 sees Jinsu's body putting itself back together again after Hee-Jeong tries to burn him for good.
A newly revived Jinsu has also been seeing visions of Executors, and he wants to save Park Jeong-ja from the Arrowheads before it is too late.
Kim Sung-cheol replaced Yoo Ah-in in Hellbound Season 2 after the actor was indicted on drug charges in October 2023. This came after Yoo Ah-in's scenes from Goodbye Earth were also removed by Netflix due to the controversy.
Sung-cheol is known for his roles in Prison Playbook, The Night Owl, and The Battle of Jangsari.
