Hellbound Season 2 has raised a lot of intriguing questions. Let’s dive into some of the mysteries that have left viewers both puzzled and astonished.
The premiere of Hellbound Season 2 has raised several questions, leaving the audience more confused than ever. Jung Jin Su’s resurrection and transformation into the same grotesque creature responsible for his death has shocked everyone. Moreover, the truth behind the miracle baby’s survival has propelled the plot in a completely different direction. Let’s unravel the mysteries and possible outcomes of the story.
Hellbound Season 2 plot
Hellbound is set in South Korea between 2022 and 2027, where an unsettling phenomenon grips society. An ethereal being, referred to as an angel, begins to appear, delivering decrees that foretell when certain individuals will be condemned to Hell. These prophecies can predict a person's demise within seconds or years.
At the exact moment of the predicted time, three terrifying supernatural creatures arrive to brutally kill and incinerate the condemned in a dramatic and violent spectacle known as a "demonstration." As fear spreads across the country, two organizations rise to power—the New Truth Society, a cult-like group, and Arrowhead, a violent gang—both exploiting the public's terror to tighten their grip on society.
In the second season, chaos continues to escalate as hellbound decrees show no signs of stopping. Lawyer Min Hye Jin of Sodo, along with the New Truth Society and the Arrowheads, becomes even more entangled in the turmoil. This intensifies further when shocking resurrections occur, bringing back New Truth’s former chairman, Jung Jin Su, and another condemned individual, Park Jung Ja. These unexpected events deepen the mystery and unrest, leaving the characters to navigate a world increasingly driven by fear, power struggles, and supernatural occurrences.
Jung Jin Su’s transformation
In the first episode, it’s revealed that Jung Jin Su has come back to life, resurrecting after Park Jung Ja, once again plunging the world into chaos. However, his return brings confusion, as he begins seeing the same monsters that executed him reflected in mirrors. Haunted by these visions, he is unable to escape the images of the monsters.
Determined to find answers, Jung Jin Su seeks out Park Jung Ja, who has also been resurrected. He devises an elaborate plan, heading to the New Truth headquarters with the Arrowheads to stop Park Jung Ja’s resurrection ceremony. Additionally, he strikes a deal with Detective Lee Su Gyeong, ultimately betraying the Arrowheads to fulfill his own desires. This reveals that Jung Jin Su no longer cares about the world or humanity—he only seeks an answer to why he is plagued by the monsters.
When Jung Jin Su finally meets Park Jung Ja, she reveals that, unlike him, she doesn’t see the monsters in the mirror. She explains that in her 'Hell,' she still held onto her identity as a mother to her children, whereas Jung Jin Su lost himself entirely. She then tells him that the monsters he sees aren’t coming for him—they’re a part of him. She calls him a coward for living in fear for 20 years and remaining so even after his resurrection.
As he finally accepts this truth, the monsters disappear, but soon after, they emerge from within him, taking full control of his body. In his final moments, Jung Jin Su desperately asks Min Hye Jin for help, but it’s too late—he transforms into an executioner and vanishes into thin air.
The baby’s survival
In the season’s final moments, Min Hye Jin returns to Jaeyeon and asks if she will join her on a journey. Jaehyeon agrees, and the two drive off into the sunset. Min Hye Jin also shares Jaeyeon’s backstory, including details about her parents, in hopes of giving her a chance at a normal life.
A flashback to the day of Jaehyeon’s demonstration then reveals that she, too, was burned to ashes but unlike others, she resurrected within seconds, becoming the first person to return after a demonstration. This discovery overturns the belief that surviving a demonstration is impossible, bringing new uncertainty. Was Min Hye Jin the catalyst for the resurrection phenomenon? This mystery will unfold in the next chapter.
The widespread decrees
After the climactic battle between the Sodo organization and the Arrowheads, angels began appearing everywhere, delivering decrees to countless citizens. The sight was both beautiful and chilling, as angels seemed to emerge from every corner. The simultaneous decrees may suggest that they aren’t just for the condemned but perhaps offer salvation or a way for people to atone for their sins. Still, this remains another unanswered mystery.
