The suspense and turmoil of Gyeongseong Creature continues as the pre-credit scene in Part 2 leaves fans in shock and anticipation for what will happen next in the K-drama. Chae-ok and Tae-sang have endured a harrowing experience exposing the horrors of Onseong Hospital and uncovering the truth about the monster. Throughout their journey, they have faced significant challenges, including bloodshed, emotional pain, and narrowly escaping danger.
The K-drama Gyeongseong Creature follows Tae-sang and Chae-ok as they join forces to search for missing people in Japanese-occupied Korea, including Chae-ok’s mother. The story unfolds with the discovery of experiments, najin, and the revelation that Chae-ok’s mother is the monster. The show has been approved for a second season, and the pre-credit scene of Gyeongseong Creature Part 2 hints at an exploration of a new world. Here's a look at what this could mean for the future, but be warned - spoilers ahead!
Who is the man in the pre-credit scene?
In contemporary Korea, a man wearing denim jeans and a jean button-up shirt sports a prominent scar on the nape of his neck. Referred to by a different name, the man is revealed to be Tae-sang, or a strikingly similar-looking individual.
In Gyeongseong Creature Part 2, fans are left with a cliffhanger as they learn that Chae-ok may be alive after her mother transferred the najin to her, leaving the K-drama in darkness before a pre-credit scene. Historical scenes of Korea's liberation from Japanese occupation, advancements in the government, World Cup matches, and men in white hazmat suits appear on a small television, along with a missile launch and the international success of K-pop. The scene shifts to a man with a deep scar on the back of his neck, eventually revealing a modern Korea as he is called Ho-jae. Suddenly, the man is revealed to be none other than Tae-sang, or at least a version of him.
The pre-credit scene is a bit confusing, as Tae-sang should be much older based on the timeline of the K-drama being in 1945 and the events that have taken place. However, he appears the same age as the events at Onseong Hospital, which raises the question of how that is possible. Additionally, the scar on the back of his neck is also in question, leading fans to wonder if Tae-sang could have ingested the najin that Chae-ok, her mother, and Akiko did. The najin travels to the brain and it is possible that Tae-sang's scar was a result of its removal, but it still leaves the mystery of why he appears so young in modern times. Furthermore, the najin grants human abilities of regeneration and immortality, adding another layer to the mystery.

Tae-sang might be adopting a new identity to conceal the reality from everyone. Fans will have to speculate about the potential outcomes for a while.

According to a tweet from X on Twitter, the second season is set in the present day and features the return of both Chae-ok and Tae-sang.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am intrigued by the pre-credit scene in Gyeongseong Creature Season 2. The revelation that Tae-sang or someone who looks like him exists in modern Korea raises many questions and possibilities. The scene hints at a time-travel element or some other supernatural occurrence that has allowed Tae-sang to survive for so long. I am eager to find out how this development will impact the story and how it connects to the events of the first season. The show has done a great job of building suspense and keeping viewers engaged, and I can't wait to see how the mystery unfolds in the upcoming season.
The pre-credit scene also adds a layer of complexity to Tae-sang's character. Throughout the first season, we have seen him as a determined and resourceful individual who is willing to risk his life to uncover the truth. However, the revelation that he may have ingested the najin raises questions about his motivations and loyalties. Is he still the same person we thought he was, or has the najin changed him in some way? These are just some of the many questions that the pre-credit scene has left me with, and I am excited to see how they are addressed in the second season.
