What Happened to Ri Eung Ryeong in Agent Kim Reactivated?

Agent Kim Reactivated episode 10 opens with Mr. Kim and Ri Eung Ryeong fighting off the North Korean agents surrounding them. Sang-a arrives just in time to rescue the pair, but more enemies quickly close in.

Moreover, the new 66 intercepts them and forces another confrontation. Instead of continuing the fight, Mr. Kim convinces him to stand down, explaining that his only goal is to protect Min-ji. The new 66 agrees to let them leave, promising that they will settle their unfinished business another day.

Meanwhile, the laundromat owner updates Mr. Kim about Mr. Ju’s movements. Ri Eung Ryeong suffers a gunshot wound, prompting the group to contact General Jang for assistance. Furthermore, Mr. Kim calls Han-su, only to learn that Han-su and Jin-cheol have fallen into Mr. Ju’s trap. After receiving proof that the children have been kidnapped, Mr. Kim rushes to rescue them.

How Does Mr. Kim Rescue Han-su, Jin-cheol, and Their Children?

Mr. Ju imprisons Mr. Kim, Han-su, and Jin-cheol inside a steel cage. He orders Han-su and Jin-cheol to kill Mr. Kim if they want to save their children. Although the two reluctantly attack their friend, they secretly work together instead of following Mr. Ju’s orders.

Moreover, Mr. Ju starts a five-minute countdown before executing the children. His insults about Min-ji nearly push Mr. Kim over the edge. However, Han-su and Jin-cheol have already weakened the metal net behind Mr. Kim during the staged fight. When Mr. Ju steps closer, the pair smash the damaged barrier and free all three men.

After escaping, Mr. Kim steals a vehicle and drives away. Meanwhile, Han-su and Jin-cheol safely reunite with their children before leaving them under Jin-cheol’s wife’s care.

A Mission Comes Full Circle

Elsewhere, the inter-Korean talks proceed successfully as both governments agree to establish a free trade zone. However, the North Korean delegation secretly decides to spread false information that Mr. Kim and Ri Eung Ryeong have already been executed. They know the truth would cost them their lives.

Ri Eung Ryeong is admitted to Myeongjin Hospital under heavy security. SMD agents question him about North Korea’s missile program, and he reveals key information regarding operational launch sites and missile capabilities. In addition, he explains that only he possesses the knowledge needed to complete the country’s transition to solid-fuel missiles.

Later that night, Mr. Kim disguises himself as a doctor and infiltrates the hospital. He eliminates the guards, places Ri Eung Ryeong inside an ambulance, and secretly delivers him to the new 66. Before they part ways, the new 66 wishes Mr. Kim and Min-ji a peaceful future. Meanwhile, SMD deliberately avoids pursuing Ri Eung Ryeong because they have already extracted the intelligence they needed.

Shortly after, Ri Eung Ryeong wakes up on a North Korean beach. He quickly realizes someone has removed the information card hidden inside his body.

How Does Mr. Kim Finally Defeat Mr. Ju?

Determined to end Mr. Ju’s influence, Mr. Kim asks an ally to expose Juhak Construction. Authorities soon launch a search-and-seizure operation, uncovering financial links between the company and several politicians.

Consequently, Assemblyman Kang is taken in for questioning, while Mole Cricket arrests the Vice Minister before he can flee.

Mr. Ju survives long enough to leave the hospital, only to face reporters waiting outside. However, Golden Teeth suddenly appears and stabs him in front of the media before police arrest him.

Does Mr. Kim Reunite with Min-ji and Get a Happy Ending in Agent Kim Reactivated?

Meanwhile, the SMD chief informs Mr. Kim that “Agent 66” must officially die. News reports soon announce the death of an unidentified man, leading both Min-ji and North Korean authorities to believe Mr. Kim has been killed.

Fortunately, the report serves as a cover for his disappearance. Mr. Kim later reunites with Min-ji, and the emotional father and daughter begin planning their future under new identities. Min-ji becomes Kim Ji-min, while Mr. Kim finally leaves his old life behind.

Before they part ways, Mole Cricket tells Mr. Kim that they should never meet again. Even Min-ji agrees, lightening the mood with a smile. Mole Cricket also gives her a hairpin, while Im Ho-won—the laundromat owner—presents Mr. Kim with a new suit.

Later, Min-ji transfers to another school. She briefly meets Nam-hoon, who apologizes and asks to stay in touch. Nevertheless, she politely declines before handing him her old name tag.

Finally, Mr. Kim and Min-ji settle into their new home with help from Han-su and Jin-cheol. Life gradually returns to normal, and Min-ji notices that her father smiles far more often than before. In the closing scene, Mr. Kim applies for a new job and meets Lee Do-gyu, who appears ready to test his combat skills—hinting that another chapter may be waiting for the legendary former Agent 66.
