not least Lee Joon as the talented password hacker, ‘Kim Ji Hun’.

One representative reported, “We have put in a lot of time and effort into casting for ‘IRIS 2′ to live up to the success of ‘IRIS’ with Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Hee as the leads.

are also being considered for roles in the drama. We are expecting for
[the production] to exceed the success of its predecessor.”

2013. To continue the story after the death of Lee Byung Hun in the
first production, actors Jang Hyuk, Lee Da Hae, and as recently reported Daniel Henney, are all highly likely to take on lead important roles in the drama. Taewon Entertainment which produced the first ‘IRIS’ will be in charge of the sequel as well.
