Director Kim Jae-hong of 'Chaebol X Detective 2' announced that AI was not used in action scenes.

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) took place at Mokdong SBS in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by Director Kim Jae-hong, actors Ahn Bo-hyun, Jung Eun-chae, Kang Sang-jun, and Kim Shin-bi.

'Chaebol X Detective 2' is a witty, refreshing, and thrilling detective drama featuring Jin Su (played by Ahn Bo-hyun), a chaebol detective who overturns cases with his wealth when investigations stall, and new team leader Ju Hye-ra (played by Jung Eun-chae).

The first season, which aired in 2024, received widespread acclaim with a peak viewership rating of 11% (Nielsen Korea, nationwide basis). The second season, returning after two years, promises upgraded scale and entertainment.

Jung Eun-chae shared about her preparation for action scenes: "I practiced at the Action School and also rehearsed extensively on set. Since I had experience from Season 1, most actors performed their own stunts. Although there were stunt doubles, they handled most action sequences well. So I focused on staying alert and ensuring no one got hurt. I learned a lot on set and paid close attention."

Ahn Bo-hyun hinted at the upgraded elements of the action in Season 2. He joked, "I'm naturally good at (action)." He continued, "Compared to Season 1, there seems to be more satisfying action. There are also many action sequences rarely seen in dramas. Some scenes unfold like a full-length movie. I believe viewers will feel that sense of satisfaction from these parts."

Director Kim Jae-hong explained that unlike his previous work 'Manager Kim,' he did not use AI for action scenes in 'Chaebol X Detective 2.' He stated, "AI is being actively used in action sequences, but due to concerns that it might fall short in our production's results, we opted for mostly live-action filming with the help of CG."

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