Mnet Plus original 'Hide and Seek 2' kicked off its box office run by captivating global fandoms immediately upon its first release.

The first episode of 'Hide and Seek 2', unveiled on July 31, featured the group Cortis (CORTIS) as the first player, depicting their desperate struggle for survival while evading an unidentified seeker amidst chilling fishing spot ghost stories. Despite their intense stage presence, the members' realistic reactions and tight teamwork that erupted in unpredictable horror situations delivered a highly immersive experience, garnering explosive positive responses.

This enthusiasm was also confirmed by numbers. 'Hide and Seek 2' recorded more than seven times the subscription contribution compared to the previous season, proving its status as Mnet Plus's flagship original horror IP enjoyed by viewers across 206 regions worldwide. Additionally, with cumulative total views (as of August 3) approaching approximately 20 million, including those on social media, the program demonstrated high buzz, with keywords related to the show dominating the top ranks of X (formerly Twitter) real-time trends immediately upon release.

In response to this positive reception, 'Hide and Seek 2' continues the afterglow of the main episode by presenting special content titled 'Black Room'. 'Black Room' is an extreme mission content set in a pitch-black darkness with no lighting, serving as a corridor leading toward a prison. In the released teaser video, Joo-hoon, identified as the most fearful member, drew attention as the first participant for 'Black Room'. As footage showed Joo-hoon stepping into the darkness while other members watched, all eyes turned to whether he could successfully complete the mission.

Meanwhile, Mnet Plus original 'Hide and Seek 2', part of CJ ENM's global K-POP content platform 'Mnet Plus', is a horror variety show where K-POP artists engage in a survival game for 4,444 seconds while evading an unidentified seeker.
