The new poster for 'The Glory' unveils clues for part 2 of the story

Ahead of the premiere of 'The Glory' part 2, another official trailer and poster for the drama have been revealed, and there are a lot of foreshadowing elements hidden in the poster.

First, in the poster that was revealed on February 23, the phrase "Lasciate ogni speranza, voich'intrate" is written on the front. This is a phrase from Dante's 'Inferno' that is written in the gate of hell that bears an inscription "Lasciate ogni speranza, voich'intrate," which means, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."

In 'Inferno,' Dante writes how his rivals and the individuals he dislikes are in hell. This foreshadows the hell Moon Dong Eun's perpetrators will experience in the second part of the drama.

Alsothere is white morning glory blooming towards the sky - namely 'the devil's trumpet' - growing where Moon Dong Eun, Joo Yeo Jeong, and Kang Hyeong Nam are standing, the same as the poster for part 1.


But the only person who has the yellow morning glory flower blooming towards the earth - the 'angel's trumpet' - is Ha Do Young. Ha Do Young is standing amidst the perpetrator and holding Park Yeon Jin's hand. This is seen as alluding to Ha Do Young's inner conflict he had towards his wife Park Yeon Jin.

Not only that, there are weeds growing on Kang Hyung Nam, which was previously seen growing on the perpetrators or those who have died. Therefore, many predict that Kang Hyung Nam might die in part 2.

Based on the latest trailers and the new poster, many predict that Kang Hyung Nam might fall into trouble while fighting against the perpetrators. Many are leaning towards the prediction of Kang Hyung Nam's fall also because of the trailer that showed Kang Hyung Nam locked in prison while being injured.

Lastly, this is the first time Moon Dong Eun is seen wearing white in the poster. Writer Kim Eun Sook has been stating that the character of Moon Dong Eun represents anger and hatred - a world of darkness without even a glimmer of light. Therefore, many viewers saw the color black representing Moon Dong Eun.

In the first set of posters for Part 2, released earlier, the five perpetrators are all against a black background, with Moon Dong Eun looking down at them and directly strangling them or holding their hands as if foreshadowing a full-fledged revenge.

On the other hand, Kang Hyung Nam and Joo Yeo Jung are facing Moon Dong Eun against a light background, with Moon Dong Eun staring at them with warmth. But for Ha Do Young, he is also against a lighter background but is not making eye contact with Moon Dong Eun, which represents that he is a character who shows the story from the view of a third person.
