In the Disney+ original series 'A Shop for Killers Season 2,' actor Hyunri is captivating audiences by taking on the role of S-class killer 'Q.'

Hyunri plays Q, the leader who commands the Babylon East Asia branch's mercenary team, exerting a strong presence and heightening the tension of the series. From her very first appearance, Q drew viewers' attention by showcasing fluent Japanese skills alongside her femme fatale charm.

In particular, during a phone call scene with J (Masaki Okada), she radiated charisma with the line, 'I'm working, so don't interrupt me and just get to the point.' When asked if she remembers Jung Jin-man (Lee Dong-wook), she simply replied, 'I remember,' creating a mysterious atmosphere.

In episodes 3 and 4, Q's past and her complex relationship with Jung Jin-man were explored in depth. Even in a crisis where she is captured by terrorists while infiltrating disguised as a cleaner, Q remains composed, and she unveils her hidden abilities in front of Jung Jin-man, driving an unpredictable narrative.

Hyunri's action performance is especially noteworthy for her direct execution of Itto-ryu swordsmanship and high-intensity striking action. In her fight scene with So Min-hye (Geum Hae-na), she displayed dazzling action skills, while in the scene where she extends her hand to Bale (Jo Han-sun) under Kusanagi's (Jung Yoon-ha) orders, she conveyed the character's depth, emphasizing teamwork and trust.

Q is an S-class female killer specializing in assassination and espionage. Hyunri successfully broke away from her usual intellectual and polished image, fully embodying strong charisma and raw action. She also naturally portrayed the setting of a key figure in a global organization who is fluent in three languages: Korean, Japanese, and English.

'A Shop for Killers Season 2' is an action series in which Jian, who has become the representative of Murder Help after rigorous training, joins forces with the returned Jin-man to confront the international criminal organization Babylon. Two episodes are released every Wednesday on Disney+, with a total of eight episodes.
