Previously in “The Player 2: Master of Swindlers,” the players employed every possible tactic to catch Mr. Myung (Lee Soo Hyuk), the mastermind behind a massive rental fraud case that victimized many. They transformed into real estate agents, tenants, bank employees, and landlords, showcasing a realistic rental fraud contract process. They deliberately leaked to their target that it was a ruse, making him more suspicious, and staged a fake arrest with the help of Prosecutor Kwak Do Soo (Ha Do Kwon).

However, Mr. Myung was not rattled by this and, in fact, seemed to know Kang Ha Ri’s true identity. He even went so far as to find out who actually signed the fraudulent rental contract to set him up.

The newly released photos show Kang Ha Ri holding Jung Soo Min hostage, causing shock. His anxious facial expression and the situation where he appears to be threatening Jung Soo Min with handcuffs leave both the players and prosecutor Kwak Do Soo in shock.

In addition, a secret about Kang Ha Ri, previously unknown even to his fellow con artists, is set to be revealed at the scene. This heightens curiosity about whether Kang Ha Ri, who seems cornered, made the unbelievable choice of threatening Jung Soo Min, who had been working together with him and gradually becoming a part of his team.
