Park Jung-woo, known as the “sock uncle,” made a surprise return in The Shopping Mall of the Killer Season 2.
In episodes 3 and 4 of the Disney+ series The Shopping Mall of the Killer Season 2, released on the 29th, Honda, who was beloved as the so-called “sock uncle” in Season 1, reappeared. The episodes also revealed his past with Jin-man.
In Season 1, Honda protected young Jian from a killer attack in place of her uncle Jin-man, leaving a strong impression despite his brief appearance.
This episode also depicted the hidden backstory of Jin-man and Honda, who carried out missions together 16 years ago as members of a South Korean special unit. Even in a life-or-death situation with a Korean hostage, the two showed calm judgment and flawless execution, while also drawing attention with their perfectly tailored suits.



Meanwhile, Jian, who had dreamed of an ordinary life, was overwhelmed by anger and grief when the people around her were put in danger because of her. She cried out in anguish, calling Jin-man’s name once again. As she realizes that she can no longer return to an ordinary daily life, attention is turning to what changes she will face next.
The eight-episode A Shop for Killers Season 2 has now passed its halfway point. Viewers are eager to see what kind of counterattack Jian and Jin-man will launch against Babylon.
A Shop for Killers Season 1, released in 2024, was named the “Best International TV Show” in The New York Times’ Best TV Shows of 2024, thanks to its thrilling action and distinctive characters. With returning cast members such as Lee Dong-wook and Kim Hye-jun, along with newly joined characters, the newly revived A Shop for Killers Season 2 is expanding its universe.
The Shopping Mall of the Killer Season 2 is released every Wednesday with two episodes at a time.
