'Chaebol X Detective 2' is coming with Ahn Bo-hyun.

SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Chaebol X Detective 2' is a scaled-up, flex-style joint investigation unit featuring Detective Jin Yi-soo (played by Ahn Bo-hyun), a third-generation chaebol detective for whom money and connections are cheat codes, and veteran detective Joo Hye-ra (played by Jung Eun-chae), as they crack down on increasingly cunning criminals.

'Chaebol X Detective' built a solid fanbase during its 2024 Season 1 run by showcasing a 'flex-cider universe,' achieving a peak viewership rating of 11% (based on Nielsen Korea's Seoul metropolitan area). Given this success, 'Chaebol X Detective,' which has become a cornerstone of SBS's exclusive 'cider universe' alongside 'Model Taxi,' 'Passionate Priest,' 'Judge from Hell,' and 'Good Partner,' was confirmed for Season 2 production shortly after Season 1 concluded. Director Kim Jae-hong, writer Kim Ba-da, and title role star Ahn Bo-hyun reunite for Season 2, while the unique charm of Jung Eun-chae joins the cast, further raising expectations.

Among these developments, on the 1st, a teaser poster officially announcing the full-scale comeback of 'Chaebol X Detective 2' was released, drawing significant attention. The teaser poster features Chaebol detective Jin Yi-soo, a 'superstar of the major crimes division' who conducts investigations aboard a private jet.

Dressed in a police uniform and seated in a luxurious recliner, Jin Yi-soo holds a case file in one hand and a crystal whiskey glass in the other. The 'Jin Yi-soo signature logo' decorated on the seat backrest and the 'custom-made golden handcuffs' casually placed on the table reveal Jin Yi-soo's irresistible showmanship, eliciting a welcome smile.

Meanwhile, Jin Yi-soo's transformed appearance, with his hairstyle—previously nicknamed 'tanghulu hair' during Season 1—now neatly groomed, catches the eye. Alongside this, his confident gaze, as if he has deduced the culprit while reading through the case file, builds anticipation for the even more grown-up detective Jin Yi-soo's performance.

Interest focuses on how Jin Yi-soo's upgraded flex investigation skills, enhanced by innate wealth and improved abilities, will unfold, and how his cheerful antics will be portrayed as he has advanced as a detective yet still retains some of his chaebol roots.

'Chaebol X Detective 2' will air its first episode on August 7 at 9:50 p.m., following 'Department Head Kim.'
