SBS’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama Queen Mantis, premiering September 5, plunges into the dark heart of a copycat killing spree—one that erupts two decades after the notorious serial killer known as “Mantis” was caught.
The twist? To crack the case, a detective must partner with his own mother… the very “Mantis” he’s despised his whole life. And stepping into this chilling role is none other than Go Hyun Jung, ready to deliver a career-defining transformation.
Buzz around the drama ignited when the production team released a haunting still of Go Hyun Jung as Jung Yi-shin, a death-row inmate convicted of multiple murders. Her gaunt, pale face, the hollow calm in her eyes, and the unnerving chill in her demeanor paint a portrait of a woman who’s let go of the world—yet still holds an unsettling power.
In another image, she sits in a shadowed, confined space—not in prison garb but in plain clothes—gazing out from behind bars. The scene radiates mystery. What is she seeing through that window? What’s stirring behind her stillness?
Her eyes are razor-sharp, her expression unreadable—like she’s just been jolted awake by something unexpected, or is on the verge of unsealing a buried truth. It’s a testament to Go Hyun-jung’s talent: with one look, she can weave a thousand possible stories and make audiences lean closer.
Queen Mantis isn’t just promising a gripping plot—it’s promising a revelation in Go Hyun Jung’s acting. And when the curtain rises on September 5 at 9:50 PM, viewers will finally start to unravel the biggest question of all: why did Jung Yi-shin become a murderer, and what will happen when she steps back into the world?
