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 "It seems that it was meaningful just to give great interest to a story that had not been noted and had not been interested in. From the next time I participated, I felt that Korea was a country with a lot of history due to the nature of the country, rather than following its historical calling, and I was grateful that we could exist thanks to the sacrifice of our ancestors. Thankfully, we live in an era where we can even access very private stories through various contents with a little effort. I think it means a lot just to look back on historical events and to be on the story of people who were marginalized by historical moments and lived unnoticed."
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.
