The much-awaited K-drama, The Glory 2, has returned to Netflix and avid fans are picking up where the show left off. As Moon Dong-Eun (played by Song Hye Kyo) seeks her revenge, she will stop at nothing to make sure the responsible ones suffer in the end.
One of the characters who Dong-Eun targets is Jeon Jae-Jun (played by Park Sung-Hoon), Park Yeon-Jin's (played by Lim Ji-Yeon) secret lover, who was also among the ones who bullied her in high school. While we learn that Yeon-Jin is imprisoned in the end of The Glory 2, we wonder, what happens to Jae-Jun in the finale?
Here's what we know.
Who Is Jae-Jun?
Jeon Jae-Jun is one of the wealthiest members of the bullies who tormented Dong-Eun in high school. He is a country club heir and owns a number of businesses, including Siesta, a high-end clothing store with a spacious fitting lounge. This is where Jae-Jun frequently hooks up with Yeon-Jin and his other side chicks, including Choi Hye-Jeong (played by Cha Joo-Young).
He is in love with Yeon-Jin but never got the chance to take her seriously since she married the wealthier, Ha Do-Young (played by Jung Sung-Il), CEO of Jaepyeong Construction. Meanwhile, Hye-Jeong is in love with Jae-Jun and tries her best to win his affection.
Growing up, Jae-Jun is among the bullies of Yeon-Jin's circle. He is most sensitive about getting teased for his colorblindness.
What Is Jae-Jun’s Involvement in So-Hee’s Murder?
For 18 years, Jae-Jun has stood by Yeon-Jin's side and assured her that he was her alibi. The two agreed that they were together that time doing naughty things that they no longer remembered the time.
When Jae-Jun finds out that Yoon So-Hee (played by Lee So-E) was pregnant at the time of her death, he rushes off to get the advice of his lawyer friend. He asks about the odds of whether police will conduct an autopsy of the corpse and find a fetus in the body. It's possible that Jae-Jun is worried about being implicated in the murder, especially since he raped So-Hee when they were young.
Could it be possible that Yeon-Jin murdered So-Hee because she was pregnant with Jae-Jun's baby? It's one guess, but we don't have a way of knowing anymore.
Is Ye-Sol Really Jae-Jun’s Daughter?
After Yeon-Jin got married to Do-Young, they birthed a daughter who later became Dong-Eun's student. As the daughter, Ha Ye-Sol (played by Oh Ji-Yul) grows, Yeon-Jin discovers that she is also colorblind so she seeks the help of an optometrist.
When her suspicions are confirmed, she makes Ye-Sol promise to never tell anyone that she is colorblind, especially her father.
Later, Dong-Eun recovers DNA from Jae-Jun and Ye-Sol and gets it tested. She finds out the truth and shares this with Jae-Jun in a jest to stir up trouble in Yeon-Jin's seemingly perfect life.
When Jae-Jun finds out the truth, he starts preparing to take his biological daughter away from Do-Young, even if that means committing to Yeon-Jin. Meanwhile, Dong-Eun helps Do-Yeong connect the dots by himself without being the one to unveil Yeon-Jin's secret.
In The Glory 2, Dong-Eun discovers that one of the teachers in the school, Chu Jeong-Ho (played by Heo Dong-Won) is a pedophile. Teacher Kang (played by Yoon Sung-Won) gives Dong-Eun a USB containing pictures from a previous field trip with an implication that some of the photos were "an accident." This gives Dong-Eun an advantage over Jeong-Ho, who has been harassing and acting superior to her in their profession.
Dong-Eun gives the photos to Jae-Jun, knowing that he will take care of the teacher. She also uses this as an opportunity to cause trouble between Jae-Jun and Do-Yeong.
True enough, Jae-Jun goes to the school and beats up the teacher. Ye-Sol sees this and tells her father, Do-Yeong, what she witnessed in school.
As Jae-Jun's lawyer advises him to settle with the teacher he beat up, Do-Yeong and his lawyer arrive and discuss things with Jae-Jun. The four men leave the police station together but Jae-Jun and Do-Yeong end up in a brutal confrontation outside.
When evidence starts to gather that will likely put Yeon-Jin behind bars, Jae-Jun turns to Hye-Jeong and asks her if she's ready to take care of his daughter. Hye-Jeong accepts his proposal and breaks up with her fiance, Tae-Uk.
What Happens to Jae-Jun in the Ending of The Glory 2?
In a fight between Hye-Jeong and Lee Sa-Ra (played by Kim Hieora), the two former friends get physical while they are at the funeral of Son Myeong-O (played by Kim Gun-Woo). Sa-Ra takes out a pencil from her hair and stabs Hye-Jeong in the neck, causing permanent damage to her vocal cords. Sa-Ra, on the other hand, faces trial for attempted murder.
As Hye-Jeong recovers in the hospital, Jae-Jun breaks up with her and leaves her alone. Hye-Jeong then gets a visit from Dong-Eun, who gives her a chance to take her revenge against Jae-Jun.
Dong-Eun tells Hye-Jeong about Jae-Jun's glaucoma, which requires him to use Betaxolol drops every now and then. She then advises her of how this can "accidentally" be switched to washer fluid or hand sanitizer. Hye-Jeong takes this advice and gets an opportunity to do her revenge against Jae-Jun when she picks up her things.
As Jae-Jun visits Ye-Sol in school, he is angry to know that Do-Young transferred his daughter to a different school. He calls Dong-Eun and asks where Ye-Sol is. Dong-Eun says that his daughter's face won't be the last one he sees. At that time, Jae-Jun's vision becomes blurry as he is driving down a road. He uses the drops on his eyes and gets hit by a cement mixer truck.
Although this is what we think Jae-Jun's end is, there's actually more to it. After escaping the accident, we see a bloodied Jae-Jun running at a construction site with his vision temporarily blurred. He is then pushed by a man wearing a red patterned tie. Jae-Jun falls several stories down into a liquid cement mix. It is implied that Jae-Jun gets killed after drowning in the cement mix.
We later learn that the man who pushed Jae-Jun to his death is actually Do-Young, who is wearing the same tie as he and Ye-Sol leave the country to start a new life in Europe.
The Glory 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.
