Cast and characters of The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection 

In the upcoming series, Uhm Ki Joon returns to portray Matthew Lee, the CEO of Korea's largest mobile platform company. Matthew Lee emanates an air of confidence and pride, appearing more poised than ever. Previously known as Lee Hwi So, he has masterfully deceived everyone, exuding self-assurance as he navigates a world where truth lies in his hands.

Hwang Jung Eum returns to her role as Geum Ra Hee, a character-driven by self-interest. Despite being blindsided by Matthew Lee's manipulations in the previous season, Geum Ra Hee decides to align herself with him once again, driven by her own desires.

Lee Joon takes on the role of Min Do Hyuk, who previously lived a life devoid of dreams or aspirations. However, upon uncovering the truth about his birth and realizing he is the biological son of Sung Chan Group Chairman Shim Yong (Kim Il Woo), he harbors a deep-seated desire for revenge against Matthew Lee.

Lee Yu Bi will also reprise her role as Han Mo Ne. Striving to leave her dark past behind and reinvent herself as a beloved actress, Han Mo Ne abandoned her former identity as Han Hee Soo. She was involved in the tragedy that befell Bang Da Mi (Jung Ra El) and showed no hesitation in cutting ties, even with her own family.

In the previous season, Yang Jin Mo (Yoon Jong Hoon), Go Myung Ji (Jo Yoon Hee), Nam Chul Woo (Jo Jae Yoon), and Cha Joo Ran (Shin Eun Kyung) made the decision to align themselves with Matthew Lee after his threatening proposal in the season finale. All the cast have decided to reprise their roles.

Lee Jung Shin takes on the role of Hwang Chan Sung, who serves as the CEO of SAVE, the leading portal site in Korea. Initially set to inherit Hwangje Ilbo, one of Korea's top three newspaper companies, Hwang Chan Sung instead chose to leave everything behind and venture into the portal site industry. Under his leadership, SAVE surpassed all existing portals to claim the top spot in market shares.
