Fact check: Is True Beauty Season 2 confirmed? Inside the viral claims about Moon Ga Young and Cha Eun Woo's hit drama
What True Beauty is all about
The story follows Lim Ju Kyung (Moon Ga Young), a high school girl who has long struggled with insecurities about her appearance. After relentless bullying, she learns the power of makeup and reinvents herself at a new school, where she crosses paths with Lee Su Ho (Cha Eun Woo) and Han Seo Jun (Hwang In Yeop). The drama explores her journey through friendship, romance, and self-acceptance as she learns to embrace who she is, makeup or not.
True Beauty wasn't a huge hit in Korea, but a global fan favourite
Though the drama didn't pull record-breaking numbers in South Korea, it became a massive international success. Released during the peak of the pandemic, True Beauty gave viewers a lighthearted escape and quickly gained a cult following across the globe. Its webtoon origin, strong character arcs, and heartfelt storytelling struck a chord, especially with younger audiences.
TikTok sparked a wave of True Beauty Season 2 hype
The current True Beauty Season 2 buzz can be traced back to a viral TikTok posted by @kdrama_flex, which claimed that a second season had been confirmed. The video used scenes from Season 1 and repackaged them as a 'trailer,' even listing a fake release date of December. Despite getting hundreds of thousands of views, the video offered no real source or production updates.
Some reports say it's possible—but nothing's official
Over the years, scattered reports have suggested that production for a second season was in discussion. Some speculated it could follow the completed Webtoon storyline. But so far, no official announcement has been made by tvN, the production team, or any of the lead actors. No casting, scripts, or filming updates have surfaced either.

Since the end of the drama in 2021, none of the lead actors nor the network have hinted at revisiting the series. Moon Ga Young, Cha Eun Woo, and Hwang In Youp have moved on to other major projects, and there's been no buzz from industry insiders to suggest True Beauty Season 2 is in active development.
Fact-check verdict: Is True Beauty Season 2 on the cards?
Despite what's trending on TikTok, True Beauty Season 2 has not been confirmed. The rumours are based on fan edits and misleading videos. The only official continuation is an anime adaptation, which has no ties to the original K-drama cast.

Trigger Ending Explained: Will Moon Baek Return In Season 2 After Lee Do's Win?
Last Updated: Trigger focuses on the moral differences between ex-sniper-turned-cop Lee Do and powerful arms dealer Moon Baek, shaped by their personal life. Netflix's latest K-drama, Trigger, is giving viewers sleepless nights. The show, directed by Kwon Oh-seung, premiered on the OTT platform on July 25. Trigger, led by Kim Nam-gil and Kim Young-kwang, revolves around a fictional South Korea where firearms are outlawed but violence prevails more than ever. Illegal guns are being delivered anonymously to civilians, spreading chaos and defiance of law and order across the nation. But it was the cliffhanger ending featuring Kim Nam-gil's Lee Do and Kim Young-kwang's Moon Baek that left binge-watchers with more questions than answers, which we are here to break down for you. Trigger focuses on the moral differences between ex-sniper-turned-cop Lee Do and powerful arms dealer Moon Baek, shaped by their personal life. The climax scene shows Moon Baek inciting a riot among the citizens by illegally distributing guns. He also sets off a smoke bomb to create further chaos and killings. In this situation, Lee Do takes a bold and humane step: he puts his life at risk to save a child caught in the crossfire and gives away the opportunity to arrest Moon Baek. Lee Do's selflessness becomes a turning point in the story. People see a spark of hope in a world consumed by violence and fear. As a result, many of them voluntarily surrendered their guns, choosing peace and humanity. Lee Do later visits his arch-enemy, Moon Baek, in a hospital, who is in critical condition. Strangely enough, viewers spot a woman smiling eerily outside Moon Baek's hospital room. Soon, it is implied that she was sent to assassinate him by a foreigner who used to supply him with guns. Trigger Season 2 In The Cards? The last few minutes of Trigger showcase Lee Do resuming his job as a cop and living with the child he rescued, but Moon Baek's arc is yet to be determined. The burning question of whether he survives the ordeal or is killed by his arms dealer still remains. Although Moon Baek is in no condition to resume his dangerous business, his arms supplier, eyeing South Korea's market, leaves more room for a possible season 2 in the making.
