Jung Eun-chae of 'Chaebol X Detective 2' shared her thoughts on joining season 2.

On the 4th, a production presentation for SBS's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Chaebol X Detective 2' (script by Kim Ba-da, directed by Kim Jae-hong) was held at Mokdong SBS in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by director Kim Jae-hong and actors Ahn Bo-hyun, Jung Eun-chae, Kang Sang-jun, and Kim Shin-bi.

'Chaebol X Detective 2' is a witty, refreshing, and thrilling police procedural comedy featuring Chaebol detective Jin Yi-su (played by Ahn Bo-hyun), who overturns cases with his wealth when investigations stall, and new team leader Ju Hye-ra (played by Jung Eun-chae). Season 1, which aired in 2024, received great acclaim with a peak viewership rating of 11.0% (Nielsen Korea, nationwide basis). Returning after two years, season 2 promises an upgraded scale and entertainment value.

In season 2, Jung Eun-chae joins the cast as the new powerful crimes team leader Ju Hye-ra. Jung Eun-chae said, "I am the only new face being introduced for the first time. I was curious about how this drama with its lively chemistry would change," and added, "I joined because I had heard beforehand that the team chemistry is excellent."

When asked how she heard the rumors about the good teamwork, Jung Eun-chae explained, "I heard it from the actors and staff while being cast and preparing for the role."

Regarding working with Jung Eun-chae for the first time, Ahn Bo-hyun said, "Actually, I have seen many of Jung Eun-chae's works, but after watching 'Anna,' I thought she had a certain aura. I thought she was someone with a delicate charm and wondered if she would fit in a police uniform, but it turned out there was no need to adjust her physical presence or tone at all," he praised without holding back. He added, "In the drama, she appears as a detective, and that narrative really comes alive."

Kang Sang-jun emphasized, "Among the actresses I have seen, this is the first time I've encountered someone with such a cool, righteous expression and aura."

Kim Shin-bi, who has feelings for Jin Yi-su in the drama, said, "While filming, seeing Jung Eun-chae's eyes made me waver in my feelings toward (Jin) Yi-su," but then added, "But I quickly returned to being Yi-su," bringing laughter to the scene.

Meanwhile, 'Chaebol X Detective 2' will premiere on the 7th at 9:50 p.m.
