[Edaily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] Jeong Chae-yeon, the daughter of Heo Seong-tae’s villain character in “Chaebol X Detective 2,” is set to make her full-fledged debut.

In Episode 7 of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama “Chaebol X Detective 2,” which aired on the 28th, Kang Ha-seo’s Major Crimes Unit 1—including Jin Yi-su (played by Ahn Bo-hyun) and Ju Hye-ra (played by Jeong Eun-chae)—launched an investigation into a bizarre incident in which renowned magician Park Jae-ha (played by Son Woo-hyun) was engulfed in flames and died during a performance.
The investigation revealed that Park Jae-ha had been dating as many as seven women simultaneously before his death, and that his seventh lover was Ham Su-jeong (played by Jung Chae-yeon), the daughter of Ham Seong-wook (played by Heo Seong-tae), the boss of the organized crime group “Hammurabi Gang.” Consequently, the First Violent Crimes Unit suspects that Ham Seong-wook, enraged that Park Jae-ha had been dating his daughter, may have murdered him, and has placed Ham Seong-wook on the list of prime suspects.
Amid this, stills released on the 29th have drawn attention by capturing an unusual four-way confrontation between Jin Yi-su, Ju Hye-ra, and Ham Seong-wook and his daughter Ham Su-jeong—who finally came face-to-face at Jin Yi-su’s private shooting range. Above all, what captures the eye is the tense standoff between Ham Seong-wook and Ham Su-jeong as they face off against each other.
Ham Su-jeong, her face contorted with rage, is aiming a rifle at her father, Ham Seong-wook, while Ham Seong-wook, far from dodging the gun pointed at him, stands his ground with his bare hands clenched, heightening the tension. Curiosity is mounting as to why Ham Soo-jeong is pointing a gun at her father, Ham Seong-wook, and how this father-daughter duo is connected to the murdered Park Jae-ha.
The reactions of Jin Yi-su and Joo Hye-ra, who witness this unexpected standoff between father and daughter firsthand, are also intriguing. In particular, all eyes are on how Jin Yi-su—who, in true “chaebol detective” fashion, secured a private shooting range after Ham Seong-wook refused to cooperate with the investigation—will react to Ham Su-jeong’s unexpected appearance. Furthermore, since Ham Su-jeong is the seventh girlfriend of the murdered Park Jae-ha and the daughter of Ham Seong-wook—the prime suspect—curiosity is mounting about how her appearance will introduce new variables into Jin Yi-su and Joo Hye-ra’s investigation into the “Magician Murder Case.”
Jeong Chae-yeon lends her support to “Chaebol X Detective 2” with a special guest appearance. Ham Su-jeong, played by Jeong Chae-yeon, is a formidable character who doesn’t hesitate to stand up even to her father, the boss of an organized crime syndicate. In the released stills, she is expected to leave a strong impression with her extraordinary demeanor as she directly aims a rifle at Ham Seong-wook. Consequently, attention is also focused on the unpredictable father-daughter chemistry between “gangster boss” Heo Seong-tae and “the boss’s daughter” Jeong Chae-yeon.
“Chaebol X Detective 2,” which premiered on the 7th, is a lighthearted, refreshing, and exhilarating investigative drama featuring chaebol detective Jin Yi-su—who uses his wealth to turn the tables when investigations hit a dead end—and his new team leader, Ju Hye-ra. To date, the show’s highest viewership rating stands at 7.5% nationwide (Episode 6). Episode 8 will air on the 29th at 9:50 p.m.
