The K-drama further reveals how Berlin and the Professor know each other. In the past, in Russia, the Professor looks to meet a crime boss, Song Jung-ho. He also reveals his real name is Song Sun-ho. After being tortured, fans meet a group of mercenaries and Seoul. Their boss is none other than Berlin, who learns the Professor is his brother.

Actor Lim Ji-yeon stars as Seoul in ‘Money Heist: Korea Part 2’
Fans have fallen head over heels for Seoul in Money Heist: Korea Part 2. Actor Lim Ji-yeon plays the character in the K-drama.

Wanting answers, she goes to Rose Mansion Apartment where her parents live. A mystery ensues as Ji-na cannot trust the people living there.
After Money Heist: Korea Part 2, Lim is set to star in another Netflix K-drama. She will play the role of Park Yeon-jin and Song Hye-kyo’s revenge K-drama, The Glory.

Will Lim Ji-yeon return as Seoul in ‘Money Heist: Korea’ Season 2?
Seoul’s story might be far from over if Netflix renews the K-drama remake for a second season. In the Money Heist: Korea Part 2 finale, Seoul returns to save Berlin as he stays behind to detonate an explosive manually. While Berlin urges her to go, she stays and explains she has never regretted staying by his side. She then used a firearm to detonate the last bomb.
In a turn of events, the Professor gets a call. It is Berlin, and he is alive alongside Seoul. Money Heist: Korea Part 2 defies Berlin’s original story in Money Heist. He and Seoul survived the blast, escaped through a utility hole, and went unnoticed by a group of protestors.
