When Does Crash Season 2 Start? NCT's Jisung Joins the Traffic Crime Team

Crash season 2, titled Crash 2: Fury Road, premieres on ENA on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 10 p.m. KST and airs every Monday and Tuesday. In Korea it also streams on Genie TV and Disney+. NCT's Jisung joins the cast as Ji Dae-se, a rookie patrol officer at Namgang Police Station, while Lee Min-ki, Kwak Sun-young and Heo Sung-tae return as the traffic crime investigation team TCI.

When Does Crash Season 2 Start?

Crash season 2 starts tomorrow, Monday, November 16, 2026, at 10 p.m. KST on the cable channel ENA. After that it airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m., the same slot the first season held in 2024. The full title is Crash 2: Fury Road, which follows the Korean subtitle, bunno-ui doro, literally "road of fury." Disney+ Korea uses Fury Road as its English tag for the season.

Crash is a Korean crime series about TCI, a police team that investigates traffic crimes: hit-and-runs, staged accidents, insurance fraud and murders made to look like collisions. Season 2 picks up after the team's promotion. The TCI that began as an overlooked unit at Namgang Police Station is now a regional investigation unit under the National Office of Investigation, so its cases come from across the country rather than one district.

Premiere Monday, November 16, 2026, 10 p.m. KST
Schedule Mondays and Tuesdays, 10 p.m. KST
Channel ENA
Streaming in Korea Genie TV and Disney+
Director and writer Park Jun-woo (director), Oh Su-jin (writer), both returning from season 1

The teasers set the tone. A bus explodes in a sunny depot, a city bus plows through two patrol cars, and a ticking device sits somewhere on a road. The team's new problem, as the second teaser frames it, is crime designed to pass as an accident. You can see the cuts in the official main trailer.

Who Does NCT's Jisung Play in Crash 2?

Jisung, the youngest member of NCT and of its unit NCT DREAM, plays Ji Dae-se, a rookie patrol officer at Namgang Police Station. Ji Dae-se is the station's traffic division darling, eager and quick on his feet, and he looks up to TCI. He has the martial-arts skills to keep up in a fight, which matters on a team where Kwak Sun-young's Min So-hee already settles cases with her fists. In season 2 he becomes TCI's youngest member.

This is Jisung's first drama role since he acted as a child, including in the 2011 historical drama Tree With Deep Roots. His casting was confirmed in January 2026, and he credits as Park Ji-sung, his full name. If you search for him, note that he is a different person from the actor Ji Sung, who has led dramas for two decades.

Jisung also sings on the soundtrack. "Smash It," the first original song for Crash 2, came out on October 22 at 6 p.m. KST, more than three weeks before the premiere. He recorded it with fellow NCT member Chenle, and the music video cuts between the two singers and the show's car chases. ENA has also released short road-safety clips in which Ji Dae-se walks drivers through what to do after a highway breakdown, a nice way to meet the character before the first episode.

What Was Crash Season 1 About, and Who Returns?

The first season of Crash aired on ENA from May 13 to June 18, 2024, over 12 episodes on Mondays and Tuesdays. Team leader Jung Chae-man (Heo Sung-tae) runs TCI at Namgang Police Station, a squad the rest of the station barely takes seriously. Things change when Cha Yeon-ho (Lee Min-ki) arrives, a brilliant analyst who can work out how an accident really happened.

With Min So-hee (Kwak Sun-young), a team member who prefers to end a chase with a takedown, analyst Woo Dong-gi (Lee Ho-chul) and intelligence gatherer Eo Hyun-kyung (Moon Hee), the team works through a run of road crimes, from fake used-car dealers to a missing-student case on an island. Running underneath is Jung Chae-man's own loss: his wife died in a hit-and-run, a thread season 2 is expected to pick up. The season ended with TCI headed to the National Office of Investigation, and the finale drew a nationwide rating of 6.6 percent, a high mark for the channel.

All five main cast members return for season 2: Lee Min-ki, Kwak Sun-young, Heo Sung-tae, Lee Ho-chul and Moon Hee. Like Good Partner season 2, the show keeps its core team and adds one new face, and like the long wait for Signal season 2, fans have spent two years asking when it would come back.

Where Can You Watch Crash Season 2?

In Korea, Crash 2 airs live on ENA and streams on Genie TV, the TV service of KT, whose studio arm Studio Genie planned the series. It also streams on Disney+ in Korea from November 16; Disney+ Korea's main trailer closes on that date.

Outside Korea, streaming for season 2 has not been officially announced. Season 1 was released on Disney+ in several regions in 2024, so that is the place to catch up on the first 12 episodes if it is listed where you live.

If you are in Seoul on a Monday or Tuesday night, the episode starts at 10 p.m. on ENA, an easy fit after dinner. Keep in mind that the Korean TV broadcast has no English subtitles.

Sori's Note

What draws me to Crash is how ordinary its crimes feel at first. A scrape at a crosswalk, a rear-ending on the expressway: things you'd see on any commute, until the team shows you the plan behind them. Season 2 raises the scale, but I hope it keeps that everyday unease.

Jisung is a smart choice for the rookie. A newcomer who admires the team lets the show reintroduce TCI through fresh eyes, and lets an idol actor grow on screen at the same pace as his character.

I'm Sori, BeautiPin Seoul's culture editor. In Korean, sori means sound, as in pansori, and sound is where my curiosity starts: a line from a drama, a chant at a festival, a chorus that travels the world. I keep too many playlists, collect concert pamphlets, and can't leave a tradition alone until I know why it survived.
