Sweet Home 2 filming picks up pace as it welcomes a new cast member
Season 1 of Sweet Home ended on an incredible cliffhanger, and fans have been waiting for the sequel for nearly two years. When new seasons of other Korean thrillers were announced, there was always one comment asking about Sweet Home 2. Netflix only announced the show's contract renewal for seasons 2 and 3 in June of this year.
BIBI, a K-pop soloist with numerous hits under her belt, will be joining Song Kang and others in the post-apocalyptic sequel. The 23-year-old singer gained recognition after ranking second overall in SBS’ 2018 competition show, The Fan. She then debuted as a soloist in May 2019. She is currently one of the globally-recognized Korean soloists.
Also known as Kim Hyung-seo, BIBI recently had an emotional breakdown on her Instagram live. She ended up crying because she claimed she wanted to nap but couldn't as she was working herself to exhaustion, among other things. She later explained that she was overworking herself for her new album, and that it was not the fault of the company.
Sweet Home 2 filming began in June of this year. The sequel's release date has yet to be determined.
