What Will Happen to Lee Byunghun in “IRIS”

With tension growing higher amid action-packed chase scenes and confrontations in the new drama “IRIS,” all eyes are now on the fate of Kim Hyun-jun, a leading secret agent played by Lee Byung-heon.

Scenes from the October 29 episode

The fifth episode on October 29 ended with a scene where Hyun-jun was shot by his best friend and fellow agent, Jin Sa-woo (Jeong Jun-ho), who was ordered to kill him by their boss Baek San (Kim Young-chul).

In the sixth episode, an unidentified man saves Hyun-jun and provides treatment for him. After recovering, Hyun-jun refuses to be helped any more and leaves Hungary, where he had stayed to perform his mission but faced betrayal.

Baek San tells Choi Seung-hee (Kim Tae-hee), Hyun-jun’s girlfriend, that Hyun-jun has become a “man of the past.” Unable to accept the news of his death, she quits her job as a secret profiler and devotes herself to finding out his whereabouts while working at a flower shop.

Meanwhile, Kim Seon-hwa (Kim So-yeon), a North Korean agent who was sent to prison for failing to capture Hyun-jun, and who assassinated a political figure in the communist country, is released on the condition that she captures him without fail. She is told that this will be the last chance to save herself from any punishment.

Seon-hwa beats cold weather and heavy snow to chase Hyun-jun to Japan. Making a narrow escape, Hyun-jun hides in a spa in Akita, where he had stayed with Seung-hee on their secret trip together and prepares for revenge, only to be captured by local police.

With all these developments, curiosity about the next few episodes is rising higher than ever.

“IRIS” airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:55 p.m. on KBS2.
