The highly anticipated new season of Pachinko is just around the corner, and the trailer has finally made its debut. The series is set to return with the dynamic duo Lee Min-ho and Minha Kim, whose on-screen romance is poised to flourish once more amid the tumultuous backdrop of World War II-era Japan. This season promises to delve deeper into Jin Ha's character, spotlighting his struggles as he navigates his new life in Japan. Mark your calendars for August 23, when the new season premieres exclusively on Apple TV+. Pachinko – Season 2: Apple TV Confirms Release Date for Lee Min Ho and Kim Min Ha’s Drama Series (Watch Announcement Video).

The trailer opens with a serene snapshot of Kim Sun-ja’s ( played by Minha Kim) life in 1945, before the ominous threat of the US Army’s aerial assaults looms large over Japan. The narrative intensifies as Koh Han-su ( played by Lee Min-ho) reappears, determined to shield Sun-ja and their son from the impending danger, while also contemplating a future with her. A poignant exchange unfolds in the trailer, where Sun-ja asks, “It’s been 14 years. How did you find me?” to which Han-su replies, “I never lost you.” The teaser raises intriguing questions about whether Sun-ja will succumb to Han-su’s rekindled promises or remain committed to her husband. Meanwhile, Baek Solomon (Jin Ha) wrestles with his career, his love for Naomi (played by Anna Sawai), and his quest for purpose in Japan.

Inspired by Min Jin Lee's 2017 novel, the series has already got fans buzzing, thanks in part to BLACKPINK's Rosé. The trailer for the new season stands out not just for its gripping storyline and cast but also for Rosé’s unique contribution—a cover of Coldplay's iconic "Viva La Vida." This musical touch adds an extra layer of excitement, making the anticipation for the series even more palpable. Lee Min-Ho Birthday: From Boys Over Flowers to Legend Of The Blue Sea, Here Are Top Five Swoon-Worthy Kissing Scenes of the South Korean Actor That Will Make You Blush!.
