Re-assembling the team in SBS’s The First Responders 2
by tccolb
Kicking off a new promo run for the upcoming second season of The First Responders, SBS has released new posters and a video teaser featuring our returning heroes: Kim Rae-won (L.U.C.A.: The Beginning), Sohn Ho-joon (Work Later Drink Now 2), and Gong Seung-yeon (Bulgasal: Immortal Souls).
With our trio reprising their roles from the first season, the crime-action continues to explore the dynamics of emergency response – with the police force, firefighters, and paramedics at the forefront. But this time, the story will be adding in the impact of forensics, as another layer in the ultimate fight to serve and protect the people.

Living up to his nickname of “Jindo Dog,” the teaser begins with our police officer hero (Kim Rae-won) and the appearing text screens announce that Jin Ho-gae has returned: the man who bites and never lets go. As determined as ever to catch the culprits, Ho-gae informs them that they’re messing with a crazy dog and that he’s come from hell to take them down.
In the text screens that follow, we learn that Ho-gae is back a stronger character. But the villain has upped their game as well and Lee Do-yub (Oh! Young-shim) warns Ho-gae that, “To that guy, you’re just a mutt.” Ho-gae thus believes that this is the mastermind behind all the cases they’ve been chasing. Off screen, we hear a mysterious woman drawl, “It’s a shame this has happened to someone so young, all because of one Jindo dog with rabies.”
This means, of course, that cooperation among the good guys has to be stronger as well and we finally get a peek at our firefighter Bong Do-jin (Sohn Ho-joon) and paramedic Song Seol (Gong Seung-yeon) in the final sequence. The teaser then closes as the different teams each display their heroes’ walk, showcasing more familiar faces, including Seo Hyun-cheol (Remarriage & Desires), Kang Ki-doong (Reborn Rich), and Ji-woo (Age of Youth 2) among others.
With production remaining in the hands of Season 1 PD Shin Kyung-soo (Nokdu Flower) and writer Min Ji-eun (Investigation Couple 2), SBS’s The First Responders 2 will be launching next month on August 4. The series will be airing in the weekend slot, following Revenant, and will also be available on Disney+.
