Previously, Kang Ha Ri masterfully took down real estate scammer Myung Ji Ho (Lee Soo Hyuk) by posing as a housing lease fraudster and orchestrating an elaborate scheme. He cleverly enlisted the victims’ families and friends to assist, ultimately deceiving Myung Ji Ho and bringing him to justice.

Now, Kang Ha Ri’s next target is a pseudo-religious cult exploiting its followers for money, organ trafficking, and sexual exploitation, all under the protection of powerful political and legal connections. Determined to show the cult leader Im Sang Sik what true hell is, Kang Ha Ri’s ambitious plan unfolds in today’s episode as the team infiltrates the cult.

The newly released stills show Kang Ha Ri in a white robe, fully assimilated into the cult. Introducing himself as Kim Han Joon, a theology graduate, he quickly gains the cult’s trust with his devout demeanor and convincing gestures.

Moreover, the players’ comical attempts to blend in as devout cult followers promise to entertain viewers.
