Another Public Enemy

Another Public Enemy (Korean: 공공의 적 2; RR: Gonggongui Jeok 2) is a 2005 South Korean crime drama film directed by Kang Woo-suk. It serves as a sequel to the 2002 film Public Enemy, though it features a distinct narrative and character set within the same thematic framework.

Plot

The film follows Kang Chul-joong (played by Sol Kyung-gu), a prosecutor working for the Seoul District Attorney's office. Unlike the character he portrayed in the original Public Enemy, this version of Kang Chul-joong is a disciplined, strait-laced legal professional. The plot centers on his investigation into the Myung-sun Foundation, which leads him into a direct conflict with Han Sang-woo (Jung Joon-ho), a powerful figure whom Kang identifies as a public enemy.

Production and Cast

The film was produced and distributed by Cinema Service. It marks a departure from the first film by placing the protagonist in a legal setting rather than a police procedural environment. The cast includes:
