The eight characters featured in the posters are all entangled in Dong-eun’s detailed plan — those who help her; Joo Yeo-jeong (Lee Do-hyun), Kang Hyeon-nam (Yeom Hye-ran), and Ha Do-yeong (Jung Sung-il), and the perpetrators; Park Yeon-jin (Lim Ji-yeon), Jeon Jae-jun (Park Sung-hoon), Lee Sa-ra (Kim Hieora), Choi Hye-jeong (Cha Joo-Young), and Son Myeong-o (Kim Gun-Woo). Following its debut in December 2022, The Glory quickly became a worldwide sensation, as proven by its ranking in Netflix's Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) list for five weeks following its release. The Glory Part 2 will see Dong-eun picking up where she left off in Part 1, as the years of surveilling and infiltrating the lives of her childhood bullies culminate in them falling into their personal brand of “hell” that Dong-eun has meticulously planned out.
