However, two years later, Netflix finally released the second season, with the original cast continuing to work together. Surprisingly, after broadcasting, some netizens believed that Son Suk-ku's role significantly increased in the second season, even surpassing the protagonist's presence. Therefore, Director Han Jun-hee specifically addressed this issue in an exclusive interview.

Director Han Jun-hee recently spoke to Korean media in an interview, where he not only shared his filming experiences, but also addressed the real reason behind the reduced screen time of main actors Jung Hae-in and Koo Kyo-hwan, and the increased role of Son Suk-ku.

In fact, when the first season was released in 2021, it gained much popularity for its realistic portrayal and sharp depiction of the issues within the Korean military. However, unexpectedly, it stirred up a huge storm in South Korean society. This also led the Ministry of National Defense to urgently clarify that "the TV drama is different from reality", which became a hot topic.

When talking about the thoughts on the second season of "D.P", the director expressed that it's been 3-4 years since the start of the first season with the crew and actors. Although they often worried whether they could bring everyone a better work, they felt a bit reluctant after finishing the shooting.

However, faced with audience comments suggesting that Jung Hae-in and Koo Kyo-hwan had less screen time in the second season compared to the first, causing disappointment, the director admitted this was indeed the case. Nevertheless, considering that in the first season the deserter shot himself in the face, it is also worth considering whether the two members of the D.P team could immediately overcome their trauma and continue their duties from an objective perspective.

The director also explained that the reason why one of the episodes in the second season features Im Ji-sup, played by Son Suk-ku, as the lead is because "As the story of the army headquarters continued to unfold, conflicts inevitably arose. So, I believe that the final spark should be ignited by Joon-ho,Ho-yeol, FBeom-gu, and Ji-sup, who is an executive, and thus created the plot structure for Episodes 11-12."

Some netizens think that Son Suk-ku, who got a big hit with the TV drama "My Liberation Notes," has significantly grown his role in the drama due to his popularity. The director smiled bitterly at this and said, "It's not true. Son Suk-ku is really popular, indeed, but the script for the second season of 'D.P' had already come out before 'My Liberation Notes' was aired. Moreover, the shooting of 'My Liberation Notes' started a few days later, so there is no correlation at all."

A scene of Go Youn-Jung on the street was captured by netizens! This immediately sparked a heated discussion on the Korean internet: "Was it really a casual snapshot?!"

On the 31st of last month, a photo of Go Youn-Jung was posted on a Korean online discussion board, taken by a netizen on the street. Seeing this photo uploaded by the netizen, other netizens expressed that it was hard to believe! In the photo, Go Youn-Jung can be seen wearing all black clothing and carrying a bag and a phone in her hand. It doesn't seem like a posed shot, but rather a candid moment captured by a netizen from a distance. However, the most attention-grabbing aspect is Go Youn-Jung's fair skin and beauty. On this, netizens commented: "Feels like only Go Youn-Jung turned on the light, so bright!", "I thought the first photo was photoshopped!", "Small face but very delicate features", "Different style entirely", "I have seen her taking photos at my workplace, she's really beautiful in person!" etc. However, earlier this year, there was an incident where a netizen uploaded a photo of Go Youn-Jung. At that time, KGo Youn-Jung's graduation photo was made public through social networking sites, but the photo was maliciously edited in some parts. Therefore, netizens immediately uploaded the original photo to correct this. The netizen netizen A, who posted this post at the time, said, "Has everyone seen the past photos of Go Youn-Jung? Why is it so weird?" Later, netizen A insisted, "The photo spread the day before was a maliciously edited photo of Go Youn-Jung's eyes becoming smaller and skin tone getting darker." And once again, he publicized the original graduation photo of Go Youn-Jung, saying "Go Youn-Jung's photos were weirdly modified due to malicious editing, so I uploaded them. Moreover, Go Youn-Jung's personality is also cheerful, sincere, and kind." Netizen A continued, "Why is it that whenever a woman is about to beceome popular, something always happens and she falls... I really can't understand." Netizen A added, "I will upload the original photos I have and the photos that have been maliciously edited for everyone to compare." After seeing netizen A's post, other netizens also shared their old photos of Go Youn-Jung. Netizens said, "Looking at the photos of Go Youn-Jung taken from different angles, she has always been beautiful, whether in the past or now", "I am so jealous that I even want to edit and distribute old photos", etc.

Gong Seung-yeon proudly claims she is prettier than her younger sister TWICE Jeongyeon! She revealed that she got hit instead when she tried to stop a fight when Jeongyeon was young!K-Pop

Gong Seung-yeon proudly claims she is prettier than her younger sister TWICE Jeongyeon! She revealed that she got hit instead when she tried to stop a fight when Jeongyeon was young!

Today, actress Gong Seung-yeon mentioned her younger sister, TWICE member Jeongyeon, while appearing as a guest on a radio program. When the host asked, "Both of you are so beautiful, what do you think about each other's appearance?", Gong Seung-Yeon did not hesitate to say "I am more beautiful", making people sigh at the realistic sibling interaction. The host continued, "Jeongyeon has a small, beautiful face, and Seung-yeon is also very beautiful." Seung-yeon said, "We look a bit different, but Jeongyeon has a better personality." Gong Seung-yeon is the eldest of three sisters. She said, "I'm the eldest, Jeong-yeon is a workaholic, and our younger sister is an ordinary office worker. It feels like our younger sister is a combination of me and Jeong-yeon." When asked if their parents are also beautiful, Gong Seung-yeon said she resembles their father, while her sister looks like their mother. Gong Seung-yeon mentioned that her younger sister, TWICE Jeongyeon, often got hit while trying to stop her older sisters from fighting, which caused a burst of laughter on the spot. Gong Seung-yeon said, "I am one year and three years older than my sisters. I often told them what to do when we were younger. I don't know if it was because I gave them too many instructions, but they would help me clean the house whenever they came over." She also added, "I am only a year older than my sister, and we used to argue a lot. Jeongyeon got hit many times while trying to calm us down. We used to fight over clothes and food, but now we are very close". Gong Seung-yeon, who starred in "The First Responders 2," also mentioned Kim Rae-won and Son Ho-jun, who she worked with in the drama. She even chose Kim Rae-won as the mood-maker on set. Gong Seung-yeon said, "I also wanted to boast that I was the mood-maker, but Rae-won Oppa likes to talk, he talked about the drama plot in a sophisticated and meticulous way, leading the conversation. Rae-won talked the most, only about the drama during the shoot. Even so, he is still very humorous. Son Ho-jun, on the other hand, is the silent type. He is more stable and has a leadership style on the scene." Gong Seung-yeon, who plays a paramedic in a TV drama, had to practice injections on her shoulder during the first season. "Because I'm a paramedic, I basically had to learn how to treat the wounded. At first, I took my shoulder home to practice, but because it wasn't real flesh, it felt very dry. So, I practiced on my sister's hand with a rubber band, although I didn't insert it directly." Gong Seung-yeon also revealed her love for calligraphy since she was a child. "When I was young, my father taught me calligraphy and I worked very hard. There was a time when I even thought of pursuing it," she said. “Although I can still use it now, I have been too busy lately, so I haven't written much.” Also known as a homebody, Gong Seung-yeon added, "Because it's hot, I stay at home and get lost in time doing laundry and cleaning. After moving, I started gardening, so I got even busier."

"D.P. 2" faces criticism for its unrealistic plot! Netizens overwhelmingly criticize: Absolutely absurd.

The first season of the Netflix Korean drama "D.P 2", starring Jung Hae-in, Koo Kyo-hwan, Kim Sung-Kyun, and Son Suk-ku, received rave reviews, making many netizens very excited about the plot of the second season. However, "D.P 2" received overwhelmingly negative reviews from Korean netizens shortly after it was released. The Korean drama "D.P" mainly discusses the bullying problem in Korean military camps.

Amidst the clamor of various netizens, the second season of "D.P 2" was launched on the 28th of last month. Soon after its release, it attracted a large number of drama enthusiasts.

Regarding the related scenes, netizens have all left comments saying, "It's really too dreamy," "The scene in Itaewon is too long," "Why would Yeong-ok come out from there," and "Compared to the first season, it's really disappointing." "The first season was so gripping that I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second, so the unrealistic scenes of the following season..."," Turns out it's not just me who thinks the second season's scenes are too unrealistic"," The train scenes were not shot well', etc.
