Lee Min Ho fans will be able to see their idol's acting again. Lee Min Ho is back to star in the sequel to the Korean drama "Pachinko". The 37-year-old actor will star in Season 2. Lee Min Ho seems to have last played a role in Pachinko season 1 (2022). He did not take on any new projects after that until finally making a comeback in Pachinko season 2. 

The story of Pachinko itself begins in the early 20th century during World War II and follows the journey of three generations of a Korean family who immigrated to Japan. They face a variety of challenges, from discrimination to economic hardship, while struggling to maintain their identity and culture. 

The meeting of Hansu (Lee Min Ho) and Sunja (Kim Min Ha) is the main focus of this series, combining themes of family, business, and the complex relationships between the players. Pachinko 2 will further explore the life of the main character Sunja as she raises her children in a turbulent world. Sunja is told to try her best to protect her family. 

She must make dangerous decisions to save those closest to her. The story intersects with Solomon (Jin Ha), who has to start a new life from scratch in Tokyo, Japan, in 1989. Also the elderly Sunja (Youn Yuh Jung) who worries about her grandson.
