Written and directed by Kim Hee-jin, My Name is Loh Kiwan is a South Korean film that explores themes such as immigration and immigrant exploitation. The plot revolves around Loh Kiwan, a North Korean defector who ends up in Belgium. Desperate to get refugee status in his host country, Loh Kiwan devotes himself to assimilating into Belgian society. He meets Marie, a young woman dealing with tragedy and grief. If you are wondering whether there will be a My Name is Loh Kiwan 2, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all we know about My Name is Loh Kiwan Season 2 and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there a My Name is Loh Kiwan 2 release date?
There is no My Name is Loh Kiwan 2 release date as there is no official announcement about the sequel.
The film is an adaptation of the book I Met Loh Kiwan by Cho Hae-jin, and it doesn’t have a sequel. If My Name Is Loh Kiwan hadn’t covered the book in its entirety, there would have been a possibility for another film. However, as things stand, the film adapts the whole book and concludes on a satisfactory note. The eponymous (Spoilers warning for those who haven’t seen the movie) character decides to renounce his Belgian citizenship and makes his way to Amsterdam, where he and Marie restart their lives together. Considering all this, the sequel to My Name is Loh Kiwan is unlikely to happen.
The cast includes Song Joong-ki featuring as Loh Kiwan, Choi Sung-eun playing Marie, Kim Sung-ryung as Ok-hee, Jo Han-chul as Yoon-seong, Lee Il-hwa as Jeong-ju, Lee Sang-hee portraying Seon-ju, Seo Hyun-woo as Eun-cheol, Waël Sersoub as Cyril, and more.
Why My Name is Loh Kiwan 2 might not be happening
My Name is Loh Kiwan 2 probably isn’t coming out because, as mentioned above, the narrative concludes with the first film. ComingSoon will provide an update if the circumstances change.
The official synopsis for My Name is Loh Kiwan reads:
“After defecting from North Korea, Loh Kiwan struggles to obtain refugee status in Belgium, where he encounters a dejected woman who has lost all hope.”
