Returning with a stronger narrative than the previous season, 'Cheongdam International High School 2' raises expectations with its diverse character relationships.

The new drama 'Cheongdam International High School 2' (directed by Lim Dae-woong and Park Hyung-won, written by Kwak Young-im), set to premiere on July 3, is a high school psychological thriller drama that combines a power game at the elite Cheongdam International High School with a youth romance.

With just ten days until its premiere, the team behind 'Cheongdam International High School 2' today (23rd) introduced the major character relationships that will further intrigue viewers.

# The impoverished Lee Eun-sam vs. 'Diamond 6' queen Kim Ye-rim, an ambiguous relationship oscillating between rivalry and alliance

The tense confrontation between the impoverished transfer student Kim Hye-in (played by Lee Eun-sam) and the de facto leader of the school's power circle 'Diamond 6', Baek Je-na (played by Kim Ye-rim), continues into season 2. Their relationship, which sometimes sees them join forces when interests align while engaging in a sharp psychological battle, is set to become a central focus of season 2.

Especially, the reaction of Je-na towards Hye-in, who is the first person from an 'impoverished background' to enter 'Diamond 6', raises curiosity about whether they can truly become close.

# Wobbly Kim Ye-rim - the precarious tightrope walk of ambitious Kim Min-kyu!

Cha Jin-wook (played by Kim Min-kyu), the illegitimate child of a rising chaebol group, transfers from an international school abroad to Cheonguk High School. Aiming for the position of next heir to the company, Jin-wook proposes a contractual relationship to Je-na to solidify his footing. Though taken aback by the surprising proposal, Je-na feels confused, but when Jin-wook rushes to save her in a crisis, it creates a unique tension of excitement and anxiety that intertwines calculated emotions. Attention is drawn to how this precarious relationship will unfold.

# The youthful charm of the younger man Won Kyu-bin shaking Lee Eun-sam!

In a situation where no one can be easily trusted at Cheonguk High School, the positive-energy younger man Lee Sa-rang (played by Won Kyu-bin) appears before Hye-in. His warm and kind approach creates small but meaningful cracks in Hye-in's daily life. As a new student at Cheonguk High School, Sa-rang naturally joins 'Diamond 6' following his brother Lee So-mang (played by Yoo Jeong-hoo) and finds himself facing unexpected events alongside Hye-in. This raises questions about whether his interest in Hye-in is merely simple curiosity or cloaked in hidden intentions.

'Cheongdam International High School 2' is poised to depict complex relationships interwoven with power and emotions, going beyond a simple high school drama. The narrative, filled with tension, excitement, and conflicts among characters with different desires, promises to immerse viewers deeply. 'Cheongdam International High School 2' will be available on platforms such as Netflix, Wavve, and Tving at 5 p.m. on July 3 (Thursday), and it will air on the general programming channel MBN at 12:10 a.m. on July 5 (Saturday).

Overseas, it is set to open in over 190 countries through global streaming platforms and channels, including Asia's largest OTT platform Viu, the global Asian content-focused platform Rakuten Viki, Japan's ABEMA TV, and Taiwan's number one paid subscription platform friDay Video.
