This summer, K-pop artists will become the protagonists of urban legends.

CJ ENM's global K-pop content platform "Mnet Plus" presents the original series "Hide and Seek 2," a horror variety show in which K-pop artists survive for 4,444 seconds while evading an unidentified seeker. This season introduces an expanded horror universe by adding urban legend narratives to the traditional hide-and-seek game structure, where players directly become "characters within the story."

Previously released teasers featuring three urban legends also drew attention. Stories built on familiar settings such as mountain lodges, fishing spots, and hide-and-seek games sparked curiosity about what horror tales will unfold in the main program.

A new "Storyteller" role has been introduced to open and close the urban legends, further enhancing the immersive experience unique to "Hide and Seek 2." Particularly notable is the addition of acclaimed actress Lee Jung-hyun, known for her powerful character portrayals in "Mr. Sunshine" and "The New Normal," who will serve as the Storyteller, raising expectations.

Lee Jung-hyun stated, "It was an exciting project to work alongside K-pop artists. I prepared diligently to deliver greater enjoyment to viewers who have seen Season 1 and provide an immersive experience for those encountering the urban legends for the first time." The production team added, "In this season, the Storyteller is the first character players—and even viewers—encounter. Following Lee Jung-hyun's narration as players enter the story will heighten the immersion of Season 2."

"Hide and Seek 2" will premiere on Mnet Plus at 6 p.m. on the 31st, followed by a broadcast on Mnet at 11 p.m. on August 1.
