Pachinko Season 2 Premieres on Apple TV+

The highly anticipated second season of 'Pachinko' resumes seven years after the first season's conclusion, continuing to explore the life of Sunja and her family amid World War II in Osaka. The season expands on themes of tradition and modernity, focusing on Solomon Baek's struggles with identity and discrimination in Japan. Showrunner Soo Hugh has adapted the narrative, shifting from a linear timeline to intertwining past and present perspectives. Jin Ha, who plays Solomon, draws parallels between his own experiences as a Korean American and the character's journey, emphasizing the emotional weight of generational expectations. Lee Min-ho's character, Koh Hansu, is set to have a more significant role, exploring complex familial dynamics and his relationship with Sunja and their son Noa. The season promises to deliver a deeper understanding of the characters' struggles, as well as the historical context of their lives during a tumultuous era.
