Aired in 2019, “The Fiery Priest” attracted attention with a viewership rating of 22%.
The film tells the story of the journey of cooperation to discover the mysterious case of Kim Hae Il (Kim Nam Gil) - a priest with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Goo Dae Young (Kim Sung Kyun) - a dedicated police officer and female prosecutor Park Kyung Soon (Honey Lee).
In part 2, the trio will go to Busan (South Korea) to investigate the country's leading drug gang. Accompanying them is Goo Ja Young (BIBI) - a young police officer in the drug investigation team of the Busan Police Agency.
According to Sports Chosun, besides the 3 main actors, BIBI is the name that is getting attention. Especially when Ja Young is the most carefree and humorous role of the female singer ever. In the images posted by the producer, it can be seen that Goo Ja Young always appears with a personality.
In the trailer, we can see Ja Young's two personality traits: tough, straightforward, and upright when facing suspects, but also very youthful and adorable when standing in front of Kim Hae Il.
Talking about appearing in the sequel to a successful project, BIBI excitedly said: “I was a big fan of part 1. My grandmother loved “The Fiery Priest” so much that she always played it at home.
She often said, “I hope to see Hyung Seo (BIBI’s real name) on TV,” and her words were deeply imprinted in my mind. Then the production team contacted me. It was a great opportunity, so I immediately agreed.”
However, during the first filming session in Busan, the female star couldn't help but feel nervous, but tried to adapt as quickly as possible.
“Fortunately, everyone on the crew created a comfortable atmosphere, making the filming enjoyable. With this film, we are working very hard with the hope of helping the audience relieve some of the stress in daily life. We hope to receive everyone's attention.”
Meanwhile, the production team praised the flexibility and ability to transform into different characters of the female singer born in 1998. They believe that the picture that BIBI created for her character Goo Ja Young will convince viewers when the drama "The Passionate Priest 2" airs on the evening of November 8.
Born in 1998, BIBI debuted as a singer in 2019 with the single “BINU”. In 2021, she ventured into acting. BIBI’s notable works include “Whispering Corridor 6: Noise”, “Horrible Crime”, “Dead End”...
In addition to acting, the female singer is also actively releasing new products. At the end of February, BIBI's single "Bam Yang Gang" made an impression when it ranked first on the charts of Melon, Genie, Bugs, YouTube Music... This achievement surpassed IU's "Love Wins All".
