ENA's upcoming drama Crash 2: Road of Fury is raising expectations with its larger production scale, as director Park Joon Woo revealed that 46 vehicles were damaged during filming. The new season also welcomes NCT's Jisung alongside returning lead actor Lee Min Ki.
During the drama's production press conference held in Seoul on November 10, director Park Joon Woo and the cast shared details about the action sequences and changes viewers can expect from the second season.
According to the director, the number of vehicles damaged during production increased from 40 in the first season to 46 in Season 2, showing the team's efforts to deliver more ambitious car action scenes.
Park Joon Woo explained that the new season would explore traffic crimes involving modern technology, including artificial intelligence and autonomous driving.
He also revealed that the production expanded its action sequences by introducing electric vehicles, buses, and water cannon vehicles.
The director shared that the team wanted to make the action bigger and more exciting while keeping the traffic crime investigations at the center of the story.
The new season brings back Lee Min Ki, Kwak Sun Young, Heo Sung Tae, Lee Ho Chul, and Moon Hee, who previously worked together as members of the Traffic Crime Investigation (T.C.I.) team.
Lee Min Ki returns as Cha Yeon Ho, an intelligent investigator known for solving complicated traffic cases through careful analysis.
Speaking about returning to the series, the actor expressed his excitement about playing the character again.
“I was genuinely happy to reunite with a character I love,” he said.
Lee Min Ki also explained that his character has become more comfortable around his teammates and has developed stronger relationships with them.
Another major addition to Crash 2 is NCT member Jisung, who joins the cast as rookie police officer Ji Dae Se.
His character is a young officer admired for his appearance and enthusiasm, earning him the nickname of the traffic division's “idol.”
Jisung shared that returning to acting as an adult made him nervous, especially because he was working with experienced actors.
“I was nervous and felt the pressure, but the senior actors and director helped me relax,” he said.
Director Park Joon Woo also praised Jisung's dedication, explaining that the singer attended action training despite his busy schedule and made time to practice independently.
The director added that Jisung showed a strong willingness to learn from the senior actors throughout filming.
Meanwhile, Crash 2 will follow the T.C.I. team as it expands its investigations beyond its original police station to handle traffic-related crimes across the country.
The first season, which aired in 2024, gained attention for its unusual focus on traffic crime investigations and its car chase sequences. It also achieved a nationwide finale rating of 6.6%, becoming one of ENA's highest-rated dramas at the time.
With 46 damaged vehicles, upgraded action scenes, the return of its original cast, and NCT's Jisung joining the team, Crash 2: Road of Fury is preparing to deliver a bigger second season.
Crash 2: Road of Fury is scheduled to premiere on November 16 at 10 PM KST on ENA.
