New Faces, New Threats: “A Shop for Killers 2” Introduces Babylon’s Most Dangerous Assassins

The stakes just got higher — and the enemies just got sharper. “A Shop for Killers 2” has unveiled new stills spotlighting the fresh threats Lee Dong Wook and Kim Hye Joon will face this season, as three formidable new assassins step into the spotlight.

For anyone catching up: the series follows Jeong Ji An (Kim Hye Joon), who moves in with her uncle Jeong Jin Man (Lee Dong Wook) after losing her parents, only to inherit his secret, dangerous legacy as the operator of a covert killer-supply shopping mall after his sudden death. Season 2 flips the story on its head — Jin Man returns alive, and the two team up as CEO and ally to take on the global crime network known as Babylon.

Leading the new threats is Kusanagi (Jung Yun Ha), the calculating manager overseeing Babylon’s East Asia branch, whose composed exterior hides an intense hunger for power. Alongside her is Q (Hyunri), a field team leader whose unshakable charisma commands every room she enters. Rounding out the trio is J (Masaki Okada), a wildcard assassin with unpredictable instincts and a completely fresh combat style.

Both actresses spoke about the weight of joining such a beloved franchise. Jung Yun Ha called the script’s connections to Season 1 impressively deep, while Hyunri revealed she trained intensely for the action sequences — even gaining 5 kilograms of muscle to prepare. Action director Jeon Jae Hyung also praised Masaki Okada’s dedication, noting he performed many of his own stunts without a double.
