'Devil's Plan: Dead Again' first 5 episodes released... Hong Jin-ho and Ha Seok-jin eliminated early

Netflix’s survival program ″Devil’s Plan: Dead Again″ opened its curtain by highlighting brain battles and relational tension. The third season of ″Devil’s Plan: Dead Again,″ which premiered episodes 1 to 5 on the 10th, gathered strong contenders including Jang Dong-min, Hong Jin-ho, Oh Hyun-min, and previous winners Ha Seok-jin and Jung Hyun-kyu. The existing rule, where contestants were eliminated upon losing all their pieces, was changed, introducing a structure where survival is determined by game results. In the early episodes, Jang Dong-min’s play stood out as he found the answer alone in the first main match ″Choose One″ within ″Counting Squares,″ securing first place consecutively. He chose the challenge over safety as the winner’s benefit, leading to a risky showdown against Jung Hyun-kyu. Meanwhile, Jung Won-young completed a mission requiring him to eliminate a specific contestant to lift a curse after discovering a hidden device. He targeted Shin Dong, who had shown trust in him, and fulfilled the condition as Shin Dong was pushed to the bottom in the ″Mystery Exchange.″ Early eliminations of top contenders continued. After Hong Jin-ho lost in the prison match on the first day, Ha Seok-jin was also confirmed eliminated on the second day. At the end of episode 5, a separate space called the ″Exile Zone,″ where eliminated contestants were believed to reside, was revealed. However, up to that episode, the return of these contestants or the specific method remained undisclosed.
