This time, new faces are entering the world of A Shop for Killers 2. Hyu Ri, known for Eye Love You and Pachinko, will play Q, the leader of Babylon’s East Asia mercenary branch. Masaki Okada joins as J, Q’s younger brother and partner in leading the team. Jung Yen Ha steps into the role of Kusanagi, the head of Babylon’s East Asia operation, promising even more danger and tension as the story expands.
A shop for Killers is based on the novel by Kang Ji Young. The series gained attention not just for its intense action but for its emotional depth, especially the complicated bond between Ji An and her uncle. With the official announcement confirming its 2026 release, anticipation is already sky-high. Though an exact date hasn’t been revealed, fans can look forward to more high-stakes battles, hidden secrets, and deadly encounters when the show makes its long-awaited return.
