Woo Do Hwan, Lee Sang Yi, and Rain Reveal Training and Evolution for More Intense Battles in "Bloodhounds 2"

“Bloodhounds” Season 2 teased a fiercer, more brutal showdown with its latest action-packed photos!

First released in 2023, “Bloodhounds” is an action noir about two young people who enter the world of loan sharks in search of money and get caught up in a web of much darker forces. After taking down a loan shark ring in the first season, Gun Woo (Woo Do Hwan) and Woo Jin (Lee Sang Yi) is going to be a worldwide underground boxing league led by Baek Jeong (Rain) in season 2.

The newly released photos show Gun Woo and Woo Jin heading into another battle, armed with nothing but their fists, alongside their formidable new opponent, Baek Jeong.

Gun Woo’s gaze stands out as more intense than ever. After struggling with an illegal loan shark gang three years ago, he has grown both physically and mentally and is now walking the path of a full-fledged boxing champion. Action director Jung Sung Ho explained Gun Woo’s fighting style, saying, “In the beginning, he uses a simple, heavy, orthodox power boxing style. But as he gains experience and learns new techniques, he gradually develops into a complete fighter with situational adaptability and unpredictable movements.”

Woo Do Hwan also shared that he focused on increasing his boxing skills to fully portray Gun Woo’s growth, adding, “I trained a lot to show a version of Gun Woo that is even stronger than in Season 1.”

Another still captures a tense, explosive one-on-one match between Woo Jin and Tae Geom (2:00pm) Chansung). Now starting a new life as Gun Woo’s boxing coach, Woo Jin is a fighter who relies on quick footwork and clever speed-based tactics.

Describing Woo Jin as “the type of fighter who constantly looks for openings and creates opportunities,” action director Jung Sung Ho added, “His sharp combinations, powered by his ability to read his opponent’s rhythm and disrupt their flow with nimble footwork, are particularly impressive. He is also a character who skillfully creates calculated moves with situations.”

Previously known for his cheerful and playful personality to match his lively hooks, Woo Jin shows a more mature and desperate side in Season 2 as he fights to protect his family. Commenting on this transformation, Lee Sang Yi said, “As Woo Jin transitions from a fighter to a trainer, you’ll see him getting faster and a bit stronger, showing a ‘counter-southpaw’ style – left-handed and aiming for decisive counterattacks.”

Meanwhile, Baek Jeong’s overwhelming destructive power and merciless blows exude intimidation even in still images. As Rain described him as a “human weapon”, Baek Jeong is a near-perfect boxer who possesses strength, speed and technique.

Action director Jung Sung Ho elaborated, “He is a ruthless character who can freely use both hands, executes high-level boxing techniques, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. We focused on creating action that conveys both technical perfection and brutality.”

With Baek Jeong, the operator of a global illegal boxing league, entering the scene, “Bloodhounds” expands to a much bigger stage. The action unfolds not only in boxing rings, but also across various locations such as houses, octagon cages, warehouses and parking lots – each environment brings its own rhythm and atmosphere to the fights.
