On July 6, the production team for the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Flex X Cop 2" (written by Kim Ba-da, directed by Kim Jae-hong), which premieres on Friday, August 7, announced the show's return by releasing the first stills of lead actor Ahn Bo-hyun (as Jin I-soo) in his character's unique element.
Following "Agent Kim Reactivated", "Flex X Cop 2" is a refreshing and exhilarating investigative drama featuring Jin I-soo, a chaebol detective who flips the script with his wealth when investigations hit a dead end, and his new team leader, Joo Hye-ra (played by Jung Eun-chae). With the return of actor Ahn Bo-hyun, director Kim Jae-hong, and writer Kim Ba-da—the team behind the success of the first season—along with the addition of the uniquely charming Jung Eun-chae, the series is highly anticipated to continue the legacy of the SBS Friday-Saturday "cider" universe.
In the previous season, Jin I-soo, a third-generation chaebol, left his position as a corporate chairman to become a full-fledged detective, armed with a sense of justice and camaraderie. In Season 2, he returns with even more evolved, high-end "cider" action. His immense financial power remains, as he continues to use his own money to charter private jets if that is what it takes to solve a case. The released stills capture the absurd yet hilarious side of Jin I-soo as he embarks on an overseas investigation to catch a criminal.
Appearing in a Mexican restaurant packed with locals, he fully transforms into a member of a traditional Mexican mariachi band, claiming it is appropriate for the "TPO" (Time, Place, and Occasion) of the scene. Dressed in a large sombrero and a flashy gold-embroidered suit, his unwavering wealth and signature "attention-seeking" personality are on full display.
In particular, his "infuriatingly charming" nature—playing the guitar and enjoying Latin romance even in tense, life-or-death moments, and maintaining a relaxed, dimpled smile even in the face of a criminal's threat—is sure to bring laughter to viewers. Despite growing into a formal detective, he still has not lost his chaebol flair, and expectations are high for his performance as he continues to shake things up by adding capital to his police badge.
The production team stated, "As soon as Ahn Bo-hyun arrived on set, we could feel the world of "Flex X Cop" coming to life. It was a moment that made us realize why the character of Jin I-soo is called the role of a lifetime for Ahn Bo-hyun." They added, "Based on his special affection for the 'Flex X Cop' series, Ahn Bo-hyun is giving his all in every moment on set. His passion to deliver more fun and thrills than the previous season is immense. In Season 2, viewers will be able to enjoy the activities of Jin I-soo, who has been reborn as a 'superstar of the police force.' We ask for your high expectations."
"Flex X Cop 2", which will deliver thrilling catharsis to the small screen this summer, will premiere on Friday, August 7, at 9:50 PM.
