Lee Jonghyuk, who played Seo Doeon, the son of the school's director and a key figure in the school's power structure, is also considering returning. His nuanced portrayal of Seo Doeon’s complex transformation from a fragile character to a more resolute figure earned praise.

Red Velvet's Yeri is also in talks to return.

Her performance deeply conveyed Baek Jena's complex emotional landscape, adding depth to the story.
