Spoilers
Previously in “The Player 2: Master of Swindlers,” cult leader Lim Sang Sik (Heo Sung Tae) extorted donations from his followers by pretending to have received divine revelations. He also carried out various heinous acts, such as organ trafficking and sexual exploitation, to fulfill his desires. However, thanks to his strong backing from political, business, and legal circles, none of these atrocities were exposed, and he would retaliate mercilessly against any traitors, thus solidifying the power of his cult.
To teach Lim Sang Sik a lesson, Kang Ha Ri infiltrated the cult disguised as Kim Han Joon, a graduate of a prestigious theological school. On his first day, he made a significant impact by donating 5 billion won (approximately $3.6 million), impressing others with his confident and intelligent demeanor. Subsequently, he not only recruited wealthy individuals as followers but also garnered support from other believers due to his impeccable image, gradually earning Lim Sang Sik’s trust.
In the released photos, Kang Ha Ri appears to have perfectly infiltrated the enemy camp. With his unique visuals and clear, benevolent eyes, he exudes an aura different from that of the professional con artist Kang Ha Ri, captivating even the evil cult leader Lim Sang Sik. His unexpected display of loyalty toward Lim Sang Sik piques curiosity about how he plans to punish him.
The photos also show that Lim Byung Min has managed to infiltrate the cult, sparking curiosity. Lim Sang Sik is depicted sitting at a desk, seemingly filming something, Kang Ha Ri is captured watching him, and hacker Lim Byung Min is shown holding a camera. 
The next episode of “The Player 2: Master of Swindlers” will air on July 1 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
