Who Is Joo Hye Ra?
In “Flex x Cop 2,” Ahn Bo Hyun returns as Jin Yi Soo, the wealthy chaebol-heir-turned-detective who treats his connections like shortcuts whenever a case stalls. Jung Eun Chae plays his new partner — the leader of Violent Crimes Unit 1 and a former ace of the National Police Agency’s Counterterrorism Team. It’s a role built on contrast: hardened by experience, but never cold toward the people around her.
Why Jung Eun Chae Took the Role in Flex x Cop 2?
The actress said she was drawn in by the show’s sharp wit and fast-moving plot, and was curious how an unfamiliar character like Joo Hye Ra would shake up the series’ existing world. She also wanted to play someone who feels rough around the edges yet remains deeply human and self-reliant — a detective defined as much by trust in her team as by toughness.
