On July 27, actor Yoon Kyung Ho met with Korean media to reflect on the success of Agent Kim Reactivated, which follows ordinary office worker Kim Bu Jang (So Ji Sub) as he transforms into a dangerous man to rescue his kidnapped daughter.

Yoon Kyung Ho portrayed Park Jin Cheol, Kim Bu Jang’s longtime friend and former Marine, earning praise for balancing intense action with comedic moments.

When asked about a possible second season, Yoon Kyung Ho replied: “Nothing has actually been discussed. But from the perspective of the cast, who had incredible chemistry together, it’s hard to let go of this world. I have a tremendous desire for Season 2.”

He added that he and co-star So Ji Sub had already spoken about returning together. “So Ji Sub and I even said, ‘We have to come back together.’ Maybe if we keep wishing for it strongly enough, it’ll happen.”

Despite his enthusiasm, Yoon Kyung Ho revealed that director Lee Seung Young jokingly warned the cast not to celebrate too early. “The director joked that if there’s a Season 2, all three of us could be replaced by different actors, so we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves.” The humorous comment quickly sparked discussion among fans, many of whom have praised the chemistry between the show’s lead trio.

Yoon Kyung Ho also admitted he initially questioned whether he was the right choice for the role because of the original webtoon’s portrayal of Park Jin Cheol. “After seeing the original character’s physique, I thought I was miscast.” He noted that many of his previous projects including The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, The Trauma Code, and Zombie Daughter were adaptations with characters that more closely matched his appearance. This time, however, he felt he had to win over fans through his performance rather than visual resemblance.

To earn viewers’ trust, Yoon Kyung Ho focused heavily on the drama’s action sequences. He explained: “I wasn’t creating the character from scratch. The blueprint already existed, and I had to find my own interpretation within it.”

Working closely with the action director, Yoon Kyung Ho challenged himself to perform the most demanding fight scenes he could physically handle. He wanted Park Jin Cheol to come across as someone who might be chatty and humorous in everyday life but instantly intimidating whenever action broke out.

Although SBS has not announced a second season, Agent Kim Reactivated concluded with strong ratings and positive audience response, leading many fans to hope the action drama will continue.

For now, Yoon Kyung Ho’s comments make one thing clear: if Season 2 becomes a reality, he hopes to return alongside So Ji Sub and the rest of the original team.
