The production presentation of the Apple TV+ original series 'Pachinko Season 2' (directed by Lee An-wellham, Jin Jun-rim, and Lee Sang-il) was held at Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 23rd. Yoon Yeo-jung, Lee Min-ho, Kim Min-ha, Jung Eun-chae, and Kim Sung-kyu attended the event.
Lee Min-ho said, `Seventh episode of Season 1 also has episodes of Han-su's childhood. I don't think it was there before. The selection criteria for the work are not the amount. I don't think I've had a chance to show that in Korean works, and 'Pachinko' is the same, but I can sympathize with the message of the upcoming works and I think I'll continue to show you when I meet the character.'
Pachinko 2 is a series based on the New York Times bestselling book of the same name, released in 2022. 'Pachinko' is a chronicle of four generations of love and survival through the eyes of Seon-ja (Yoon Yeo-jeong, Kim Min-ha), a strong mother who has rooted in an unfamiliar land to live proudly for herself. Season 1 of 'Pachinko', which warmly captures epic poems unfolding between Korea, Japan, and the United States, proved its workability by dominating the world's leading award ceremonies, including the Critics Choice Awards and Gotham Awards.
Season 2 of 'Pachinko' has a total of eight episodes, with one episode being released every Friday on Apple TV+, starting on the 23rd.
