NETFLIX

The captivating second season of the immensely popular Netflix series "D.P." is set to pick up where its predecessor left off, delving deeper into the unforgiving truths of military existence. The show, which has already garnered significant attention for its unflinching portrayal of life in the armed forces, promises to unveil the unchanging reality and the disturbing injustices that permeate the system.

During a press conference held at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam District, southern Seoul, on Tuesday, Jung Hae-in, who portrays the lead character Jun-ho, shed light on the upcoming season. "Season 2 showcases the repercussions faced by Jun-ho and Ho-yul, the arresting team duo, as they confront the unyielding reality and absurdity of the system," he revealed.

Directed by Han Jun-hee, "D.P." follows the story of an arresting team assigned to track down and bring back deserters within a military unit. Season 2 seamlessly picks up from episode seven of the previous season, with the main characters grappling with the aftermath of a significant incident. Director Han emphasized that while the first season explored what the characters could do within their circumstances, the second season delves into their active pursuit of meaning.

Jung and Koo Kyo-hwan, who portrays the central character Ho-yul, reflected on the evolution of their characters in the upcoming season. "Jun-ho is a character who consistently questions the concept of right and wrong," Jung explained. "He confronts these dilemmas head-on, seeking solutions and facing the problems with unwavering determination."

On the other hand, Koo shared insights into Ho-yul, describing him as an ordinary individual one might encounter in everyday life. "He is a simple character driven by the goal of safely apprehending deserters," Koo revealed, highlighting the character's pragmatism.

In addition to the main cast, including Jung Hae-in and Koo Kyo-hwan, renowned actors Kim Sung-kyun, Son Suk-ku, and Ji Jin-hee contribute their talents to the series. Ji Jin-hee joins the cast as a new addition for the second season.

Director Han further emphasized that each episode of the new season would resemble a mid-sized film, as he carefully crafted a distinct genre, character focus, and theme for each installment. With the first season already igniting widespread discussion about the harsh realities and violence prevalent within military units, the second season of "D.P." has piqued curiosity regarding the commentary it will offer.

Reflecting on the unexpected societal impact of the series, Director Han noted, "We raise questions through the show rather than providing definitive answers. I contemplated why we chose to explore these darker aspects of the military instead of telling lighter, more entertaining stories. It's a question that remains unanswered."

Fans eagerly await the premiere of the second season of "D.P.," which is set to debut on Netflix on July 28. With its thought-provoking narrative and unyielding examination of the military experience, the show continues to captivate audiences while fostering a broader dialogue about the often overlooked challenges faced by those in service.
