Director Yeon Sang Ho of Netflix's 'Hellbound' revealed ideas and plans for the follow-up story.

On November 26th, YTN released an interview with director Yeon Sang Ho of 'Hellbound', which is gaining popularity around the world.

On this day, director Yeon Sang Ho talked about what he said earlier that he was working on a cartoon after the end of 'Hellbound'.

Director Yeon Sang Ho explained, "I have been planning the after-story since this summer. There isn't much I can share but what I can tell you is I was thinking, 'does the epilogue of this story need to be a story about hell?'" and raised curiosity.

He continued to share, "In the end, the title was decided on 'Hellbound', but the title 'Resurrection' was the one that came up fairly closely among the many candidates for the title."

He also added that the second season will focus on the weakness of humans. The director elaborated that the weakness that will be portrayed in the second season will be different from the one seen earlier.

Lastly, director Yeon Sang Ho raised expectations by foretelling, "It will also show how strong humans can be at the same time."

Meanwhile, 'Hellbound' surrounds the story of an apparition that suddenly appears, foretelling the date and time when an individual will be bound to hell. The story continues to focus on the rise of a cult group that arbitrarily explained this apparition to send sinners to hell, causing those who receive the prophecy to be shunned from society.

'Hellbound' ranked number 1 on Netflix's top 10 series in just one day after it was released on November 19. Currently, 'Hellbound' is gaining global popularity following the series 'Squid Game' from Korea.

Xiumin’s agency, ONE HUNDRED, has spoken out about his unexpected exclusion from KBS 2TV’s Music Bank.

On March 4, the agency released an official statement, saying, “Xiumin, under INB100, is preparing for his solo comeback with Interview X on March 10, his first in two years and six months."

They added, "We have tried multiple times to reach out to KBS to secure a stage for him, but they have completely ignored us.”

The agency also revealed shocking details, stating, “Recently, KBS unofficially told us that Xiumin cannot appear on Music Bank or any programs where SM Entertainment artists are also performing.”

They continued, “We have repeatedly contacted KBS, asking them to put the artist and his fans first, but they won’t even respond.”

ONE HUNDRED strongly criticized the situation, saying, “As a public broadcast station, KBS should not be making decisions based on a specific company’s stance."

They added, "This is extremely unfair. We have done everything we can to resolve this, and we’re deeply disappointed to have to break this news to fans.”

Despite the setback, the agency reassured fans, promising, “Even if Xiumin can’t appear on KBS, we won’t give up. We’ll find even better opportunities for him to showcase his performances in front of fans.”

Meanwhile, Xiumin, who moved to INB100 (a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED LABEL) in 2023, is set to release his second mini-album, Interview X, on March 10.

Fans are now waiting to see how this situation unfolds.
