The Latest Buzz Around The Fiery Priest 2 Begins with the Episode 7 Case
The SBS Friday–Saturday drama The Fiery Priest 2 is the second season, following Jin Yi-soo, played by Ahn Bo-hyun, and Joo Hye-ra, played by Jung Eun-chae, as they conduct joint investigations. It premiered on August 7, 2026, at 9:50 p.m., and according to an official SBS report, Episode 6 recorded a peak viewership rating of 9.4%.
At the center of the recent surge in search interest is the death of magician Park Jae-ha, investigated in Episode 7. Park Jae-ha died after being engulfed in flames during a performance, and Violent Crimes Team 1, including Jin Yi-soo and Joo Hye-ra, investigated the case.
The key clue in the Episode 7 case was that Park Jae-ha had been dating seven women at the same time before his death.
The Connection Between Ham Su-jeong and Ham Seong-wook
Park Jae-ha’s seventh lover was revealed to be Ham Su-jeong, the daughter of Ham Seong-wook, the boss of the Hammurabi faction. Jung Chae-yeon makes a special appearance as Ham Su-jeong. Ham Seong-wook is played by Heo Sung-tae.
In this case, Ham Seong-wook was suspected as a prime suspect who may have killed Park Jae-ha for dating his daughter, Ham Su-jeong. Accordingly, publicly released information related to Episode 8 presented a scene in which Ham Su-jeong points a shotgun at her father, Ham Seong-wook, suggesting heightened tension following the Episode 7 case.
However, the released stills alone do not confirm why Ham Su-jeong pointed the gun at her father or how the scene ultimately concluded in the broadcast episode.
The Ahn Bo-hyun–Heo Sung-tae Standoff Was Also Revealed in the Episode 7 Ending
Separate from the father–daughter standoff between Jung Chae-yeon and Heo Sung-tae, an official SBS Episode 7 clip revealed a gun standoff between Jin Yi-soo and Ham Seong-wook as the ending. Ahn Bo-hyun’s Jin Yi-soo is shown pointing a gun at Heo Sung-tae’s Ham Seong-wook.
