Actor Lee Dong-wook highlighted the unique features of 'Killer's Mall Season 2'.

On the 20th, a production announcement event for Disney+ original series 'Killer's Mall Season 2' was held at Conrad Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul. Director Lee Kwon and actors Lee Dong-wook, Kim Hye-jun, Jo Han-seon, Geum Ha-na, Kim Min, Jung Yoon-ha, Hyun Ri, and Masaki Okada attended the event and shared various insights.

'Killer's Mall Season 2' is a stylish action series in which 'Ji-an' (played by Kim Hye-jun), who has taken over as the new CEO of the mall after a tough handover, joins forces with 'Jin-man' (played by Lee Dong-wook), who has returned from the dead, to launch a full-scale counterattack against the global power 'Babylon'.

Lee Dong-wook, portraying 'Jeong Jin-man', stated, "It's true that we started with the pressure of making it better and more entertaining than Season 1," adding, "We did our best and prepared diligently."

He continued, "'Killer's Mall' showcases action infused with unique personalities not only for me but also for many other characters. This is what sets it apart. Since the story unfolds within a well-crafted world-building framework, viewers will be able to immerse themselves even more," he confidently asserted.

He further expressed his affection for 'Killer's Mall', saying, "Personally, I like this series because working alongside my colleagues allows me to share the burden more than in other projects."

With recent action genre hits such as Netflix's 'Real Education' and SBS's 'Manager Kim' continuing to achieve box office success, Lee also highlighted what makes 'Killer's Mall 2' unique. He remarked, "Just as a food alley thrives when everyone succeeds together, it seems the entire genre is doing well. I believe we are living in an era where many people seek catharsis."

He added, "'Killer's Mall Season 2' was planned and prepared since two years after the end of Season 1. We hope viewers will see this not as a work chasing trends, but as a continuation of what we have consistently done."

Director Lee Kwon also shared his perspective: "Our series features many action scenes, but the most important thread is how 'Jeong Ji-an', a child, grows. It depicts the process of Jeong Ji-an growing into an adult through survival and counterattack. This journey to adulthood is not smooth, and the action sequences are designed specifically for that process."
