“A Bona Fide Killer” Previews Kong Hyo Jin And Jung Jun Won’s First Encounter During The World Cup

MBC’s “ A Bona Fide Killer ” has shared new stills ahead of its upcoming episode!

Based on a hit webtoon, “A Bona Fide Killer” is an action drama about a working mother with a lethal job who is fighting to protect her work-life balance. Kong Hyo Jin stars as Yu Bo Na, the seemingly ordinary manager of Sales Team 3 at Durumi Electronics, who is secretly the legendary sniper known as “Kingfisher.”

Previously in “A Bona Fide Killer,” a flashback showed Yu Bo Na discovering Kwon Tae Sung ( Jung Jun Won ) collapsed and bleeding, raising questions about the circumstances of their fate-like first encounter.

The newly released stills show Yu Bo Na and Kwon Tae Sung gathering at the same location for different purposes on the day of the World Cup eight years ago.

Yu Bo Na heads to a client meeting dressed as a perfect Korean football supporter, from her red T-shirt to her headband. At Kingfisher’s signature sniping spot on a rooftop, Yu Bo Na confidently aims her gun without hesitation.

Even after completing the assassination, she wears a relaxed smile. She had her own meticulous calculations behind choosing the day of the World Cup as the date for the meeting, teasing where her sharp gun will be aimed.

Meanwhile, Kwon Tae Sung rushes to the same location to cover pickpockets taking advantage of the excitement surrounding the World Cup. While displaying his passion for reporting without hesitation and even luring a pickpocket himself, Kwon Tae Sung is unexpectedly attacked. Eventually, Yu Bo Na discovers Kwon Tae Sung collapsed and bleeding, marking the first meeting between the two, which only Yu Bo Na remembers.

Meanwhile, one still also captures Ki Young Do’s ( Mu Jin Seong ) interview for Sales Team 3 at Durumi Electronics. As Ki Young Do attends the interview, a gun is suddenly pointed at him, causing him to freeze in extreme tension. It remains to be seen what led Ki Young Do to join Sales Team 3 and who is behind the gun pointed at him.

Ki Young Do’s first encounter with Yu Bo Na will also be revealed. In the still, Yu Bo Na looks at Ki Young Do with a relaxed gaze and warm smile, hinting at the reveal of the special bond between the two.

The production team said, “The hidden story of Yu Bo Na and Kwon Tae Sung, whose lives become intertwined behind the cheers of the World Cup, will bring a different kind of tension to the drama. Please look forward to the performance of Yu Bo Na, a killer who moves according to meticulous calculations, and Kwon Tae Sung’s past as he digs into the truth behind the case as the two stories intersect.”

They added, “It will be interesting to see what led Ki Young Do, who currently supports Yu Bo Na more closely and reliably than anyone else, to join Sales Team 3 as well as how he first came to form a connection with Yu Bo Na. Please stay tuned to the first encounter between these two people, where ferocity and warmth coexist.”

The next episode of “A Bona Fide Killer” airs on August 21 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
