Kim Hye-jun of 'Killer's Shopping Mall Season 2' shared her reflections on fully embodying Ji-an, who has grown significantly, and expressed her thoughts on a potential Season 3.

On the 13th, we met with Kim Hye-jun, an actress in Disney+ original series 'Killer's Shopping Mall Season 2', at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, to discuss various topics.

'Killer's Shopping Mall Season 2' is a stylish action series where Ji-an (played by Kim Hye-jun), who has taken over as the new CEO of the shopping mall after a grueling handover, launches a full-scale counterattack against the global power 'Babylon' alongside Jin-man (played by Lee Dong-wook), who has returned from the dead.

Kim Hye-jun portrayed Ji-an, who grows from an ordinary college student into the new CEO of the shopping mall. Though she wants to return to her normal life, she awakens her killer instincts in the face of an unavoidable fate and stands against a massive enemy alongside her uncle Jin-man, who has come back to life.

Regarding the release of 'Killer's Shopping Mall' Season 2, Kim Hye-jun said, "I feel strange. It feels like I'm saying goodbye to Ji-an for real, so it's bittersweet—I miss the time we spent filming and have complex emotions."

She continued, "Of course, I was happy to play Ji-an again, but there was naturally a sense of burden: 'How should I show her growth?' For lines where 'Ji-an' might appear too weak, I discussed them with the director and went through revisions."

He added, "I told the director, 'If it were Ji-an, she wouldn't have said those lines.' I focused heavily on portraying not an ordinary girl but Ji-an who understands this entire worldview, accepts her life as a killer, and speaks accordingly."

When asked about 'Killer's Shopping Mall' Season 3, Kim Hye-jun said, "I'm not at the stage of expecting or anticipating that part yet. I just want to show everything possible in Season 2 and leave the story beyond that for later."

She further explained regarding the Season 2 finale, "We had many discussions about the final ending scene. Rather than us deciding on a specific direction, we hope viewers will interpret it according to their own thoughts and imaginations."

While cautiously speculating about the possibility of Season 3 being produced, she said, "I personally think Season 3 might also begin with Chen's appearance."

Kim Hye-jun also touched upon the identity of 'Chen', who remained shrouded in mystery in Season 2. She remarked, "Since I was an actor, I asked the director every day, 'Who is Chen?' Eventually, the director told me. However, I had never seen any filmed footage, so I saw the completed scene for the first time yesterday and got goosebumps."
