The Professor Is Recruiting for ‘Money Heist: Korea’ Part 2
Did you think all the Professor’s (Yoo Ji-tae) scheming was over after Money Heist: Korea — Joint Economic Area premiered in June? Well, think again, because the gang is back for Part 2, and the heist of the United Korea Mint continues on Dec. 9.
In a new teaser video, fans will find Hahoe mask-wearing burglars carrying out the Professor’s master plan, as he is going to “let the world know who the real thieves are.” Even if everything is falling apart and the authorities are closing in on them in Part 2, the illustrious thieves assembled by the Professor have one final chance to escape when the series returns.
The Korean remake of the beloved Spanish series La Casa de Papel sees North and South Korea on the verge of peaceful unification — with preparations to print a new unified currency. But it wouldn’t be Money Heist if there wasn’t a crew of robbers from the North and South ready to steal the new cash straight from the mint, now would it? Remember: No matter what scrapes they face, they all “plan on escaping, amid the chaos.”
Part 2 will consist of six episodes, each directed by Kim Hong-Sun (Voice, Black) and starring Ji-tae (Old Boy, Healer) as the Professor, Kim Yunjin (Shiri, Lost) as Inspector Seon Woojin, Park Hae-soo (Squid Game, Prison Playbook) as Berlin and Jun Jong-seo (Call, Burning) as Tokyo. Lim Ji Yeon will play a new character that is unique to Money Heist: Korea — JEA, Seoul. In the teaser, Seoul is asked, “You heard about us from the Professor, right?” We’ll just have to wait until December to learn more about her mysterious origins.
Make sure you do your proper recon by catching up on Part 1 of Money Heist: Korea — JEA before the ultimate heist returns on Dec. 9, only on Netflix.
