On August 6th, cable channel tvN unveiled stills from The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch (written by Kim Sae Bom, directed by Yoo Seon Dong), featuring Kim Se Jeong as Do Ha Na and Kim Hi Eo Ra as Gelly Berherd.

The released stills captured the intense match-up between Kim Se Jeong and Kim Hi Eo Ra in a field of reeds. While Kim Hi Eo Ra relentlessly attacks Kim Se Jeong with sharp hand-to-hand combat, Kim Se Jeong is seen targeting Kim Hi Eo Ra with the eyes of a beast, hidden somewhere amidst the tall reeds. Kim Se Jeong focuses on Kim Hi Eo Ra's movements, like a predator targeting its prey in the swaying reeds, and the two engage in a fierce battle, their faces full of wounds. The intense fight showcases the animalistic instincts and speed of these two warriors, drawing attention to how they will be portrayed on screen.

The production team of The Uncanny Counter Season 2 said, "Combining Kim Se Jeong's instinctual action with Kim Hi Eo Ra's speed, we present the essence of thrilling action in The Uncanny Counter Season 2. Both actors and staff have put great effort into considering the choreography, speed, spatial characteristics, and character concepts. With this action scene as a starting point, the two actors will continue to showcase various action sequences, moving between containers and other locations. Please look forward to it."
The Uncanny Counter Season 2, a hero fantasy series where stronger demon hunters, the "Counters," defeat the ever more wicked demons on Earth, aired on the 6th at 9:20 PM KST.
