Chae-ok appears to die protecting Tae-sang, but wakes after her mother Seishin’s Najin passes to her. The ending then jumps from 1945 to Seoul in 2024, introducing Ho-jae, a man who resembles Tae-sang. The resemblance is confirmed; whether Ho-jae is Tae-sang is not.
What happened to Chae-ok at the end?
Part 2 is the final three episodes of Season 1, released January 5, 2024—not a second season. Netflix announced the release as the conclusion of the first season. Netflix’s release announcement

Chae-ok is captured and forced to confront her mother, Seishin, whose Najin-driven creature form still responds to people from her human life. As the struggle converges on Ongseong Hospital, Tae-sang and Chae-ok’s father, Jung-won, try to reach her and end the experiment.
Jung-won returns to the hospital and sets off explosives in the hope of destroying the underground laboratory and giving his wife peace. The blast wrecks the lab, but Seishin survives and later reaches Chae-ok and Tae-sang. In their final confrontation, Chae-ok is gravely wounded while protecting Tae-sang and appears to die.
#1 Best Overall
The underwater scene changes that apparent ending: Seishin appears in human form, the Najin leaves her and enters Chae-ok, and Chae-ok wakes. The clearest reading is that the parasite saves her. The finale does not establish what the transfer means for Chae-ok’s future condition.
What happens to Myeong-ja’s baby?
The baby survives. Its vivid green, creature-like eyes strongly suggest a connection to the Najin, and Netflix’s own recap highlights that Myeong-ja drank the parasite and gave birth to a living child. But Part 2 does not explain what the eyes mean or establish what will happen to the baby.
Did Yukiko survive?
Yes. Tae-sang’s revenge against Yukiko culminates in a bombing at her husband’s funeral. The blast appears to kill her, but a later scene reveals her alive and badly scarred, speaking with Kato. He offers her water containing a Najin. Her survival is shown; what follows from Kato’s offer remains unresolved.
What is the difference between the time jump and the post-credits scene?
The two closing sequences are easy to conflate, but they serve different purposes. The pre-credit sequence carries the story forward through history into modern Korea. The post-credit footage is the short teaser that identifies the present-day character and poses the mystery around him.

The pre-credit time jump
After the 1945 events, the story rapidly moves through the years to modern Korea. A man in contemporary clothes, with a scar on the back of his neck, is addressed as Ho-jae. When he turns, he looks like Tae-sang. Netflix’s January 8, 2024 announcement says the story shifts to Seoul in 2024 and describes Ho-jae as bearing a striking resemblance to Tae-sang. Netflix’s Season 2 announcement
The post-credits reveal
The brief post-credit scene focuses on Ho-jae’s turn and the conspicuous scar. Netflix described it as a reveal that “ignit[es] a flurry of questions about his identity and the scar’s origin.” The scene confirms his name, appearance, and scar; it does not explain the scar or prove how he is connected to Tae-sang.
Rank #2
Is Ho-jae Tae-sang?
The teaser does not confirm that Ho-jae is literally Tae-sang. It also does not establish that he is a relative, another character played by Park Seo-jun, or explain how he could have lived into the present. The scar’s cause and its connection, if any, to survival are likewise unknown.
Infection or experimentation have been suggested as possible explanations, but these remain theories rather than facts established by the footage. Ready Steady Cut’s finale explanation also treats identity and mechanism as speculation.
Director Chung Dong-yoon described the new season’s shift as follows: “Season 2 presents a story with a completely different charm. The change in space and time period will provide a clear distinction, offering an expanded universe feel.” — Chung Dong-yoon, quoted by Netflix on January 8, 2024. The confirmed change of setting and period signals a continuation in a new context, not an answer to Ho-jae’s identity.
What the finale leaves unresolved
- Chae-ok wakes after the Najin transfer, but the finale does not explain the long-term consequences for her.
- The baby lives and its appearance implies a Najin connection, but its condition and future are not established.
- Yukiko survives, and Kato offers her Najin-laced water; the scene does not show what she does next.
- Ho-jae’s resemblance to Tae-sang and his neck scar are visible, but the teaser does not settle his identity or explain his survival.
Netflix reported that Season 1 entered its Global Top 10 (Non-English) three days after release, reached third place, and appeared in the Top 10 in 69 countries. Those are Netflix’s platform-reported rankings, not independent audience measurements. Netflix’s January 8 announcement
