Nine Puzzles Season 2 'chances are slim'? Kim Da Mi and Son Suk Ku break silence on Disney+ sequel plans
Son Suk Ku reacts to sequel speculation
Son Suk Ku, who plays the skeptical detective Han Saem in the series, addressed the possibility of a follow-up during a recent interview. The actor approached the topic with both honesty and frankness. He stated outright, 'I don't think there will be a season 2,' while chuckling over the pressure he's received in response to that opinion.
He recalled a prior interview, 'In a previous interview, I said that there would be no season 2, but the reporters asked, 'Why are you trampling on the fans' expectations and hopes?'' But behind the lighthearted tone, Son emphasized that his caution stems from not wanting to fuel unrealistic expectations.
He noted the writers could expand the story but admitted he hadn't considered it himself. 'The reason I'm speaking so negatively is that I don't want to get people's hopes up for something that might not exist... There were no discussions about a season 2,' he confirmed.
Still, he acknowledged that fan enthusiasm has made a difference in the past. 'Although, in the past, D.P Season 2 was made because the fans wanted it. Some fans have also asked for a second season of My Liberation Notes.' Despite this precedent, he remained firm in his assessment: 'I think the chances are very slim. Not just due to scheduling conflicts, but because of various other circumstances. I don't think it's likely.'
Kim Da Mi offers a thoughtful perspective
Actress Kim Da Mi, who portrays Ena, the central figure of the mystery, also weighed in on the sequel discussion. Kim confirmed that no concrete plans for a second season have been proposed. However, she didn't completely shut down the idea of returning, leaving the door open for future possibilities.
'There haven't been any talks about a Season 2,' she said. 'I'd have to think about it. If there is a Season 2, it should be different from Season 1, but still keep the parts fans loved. That's something I'd need to really consider.'
Nine Puzzles plot
Nine Puzzles unfolds around Ena, a criminal profiler haunted by her past as the sole witness to a grisly, unsolved murder that occurred a decade ago. Though time has passed, the trauma lingers; not just for her, but for those who still suspect her of being involved, especially Detective Han Saem. When a new series of murders emerge, each accompanied by puzzle pieces, Ena and Han Saem are reluctantly drawn into a joint investigation.

South Korean actor Jung Woo-sung marries girlfriend of 10 years: Report
South Korean actor Jung Woo-sung has become the focus of public attention after reports emerged claiming he has quietly registered his marriage. According to a media outlet's August 5 report, Jung is said to have tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend and shared the news privately with close acquaintances. Reportedly, the woman is not a public figure, and the couple has been in a relationship for over a decade. Their bond was well known among friends, and they were often seen on double dates with actor Lee Jung-jae—Jung's close friend—and Lim Se-ryung, the vice chair of Daesang Group. Following the news, Jung Woo-sung's agency, Artist Company, issued a statement urging the public to respect the actor's personal life. 'We cannot make an official statement regarding reports about actor Jung Woo Sung as they involve his private life. We ask that people refrain from excessive attention and speculation.' This isn't the first time Jung's private life has stirred media interest. In November last year, his agency confirmed that Jung is the father of a child born to model Moon Gabi. At the time, the actor took full responsibility, with the statement affirming that he would be actively involved in raising the child. Despite the recent personal developments, Jung Woo-sung is expected to return to the screen later this year. He is set to star in the upcoming Disney+ series 'Made in Korea', marking his much-anticipated comeback in the second half of 2025. The show will also feature Woo Do-hwan, Hyun Bin, Jung Sung-il, Won Ji-

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal is a copy of Akshay Kumar's Jaanwar? Suneel Darshan reveals
Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, released in 2023 and witnessed a superlative box office run in India. The movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol, met with extreme reactions - with some appreciating it for fearless and raw writing, while others tagged it as toxic. It also faced backlash for its Interval block being similar to the Korean movie, Oldboy. And now, veteran Hindi film director Suneel Darshan has accused Vanga of copying his story of Jaanwar (1991). In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Suneel Darshan highlighted that the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal has a similar plot to his film Jaanwar, still he hasn't made any claims. When asked if he wants to remake his own film for today's audience, Suneel said, 'Main kaise banaun? Meri filmon ki nakal itne log kar chuke hain. Ek film hai Jaanwar. Jaanwar ka English kya hota hai? Uski kahaani kaunsi hai? Aapne Animal dekhi hai na? Aapko pata hai na kaunsi kahaani hai? Lekin main claim nahi karta, kyunki us director ki treatment bahut anokhi thi, aur bahut achhe tareeke se usne us film ko treat kiya. But if the producer had acknowledged the truth, it would have been much better.' Why Suneel Darshan chooses to stay silent Gearing for the release of Andaaz 2 on August 8, Suneel Darshan further added that he is happy that his cinema is inspiring other people even today. He said, 'I thought it was better to stay silent, because somehow, there have been other films like this too, and they've been massive hits. I feel like I'm inspiring people. My cinema is continuing to inspire them, and those films are becoming huge blockbusters.' 'There's one hero, a very big star, who also did a film that's very, very similar to mine. And the writer from whom they bought the story is also a very big name. That film too was a massive hit. So if you see the film, it's strangely very similar to my film,' Suneel Darshan concluded.

Since then, it has racked up more than 4.8 million downloads and expanded into manga, novels, and a whole line of merchandise.

Yuken quickly gets entangled in the chaos caused by Ace and Deuce, two students who seem to have a knack for trouble. On top of that, he's got to stay out of the crosshairs of Riddle Rosehearts - the tyrannical head of Heartslabyul dorm who does not take kindly to rule-breakers.
