It is the sequel to Kim's 1999 film Yellow Hair, though it does not continue the same story or feature any of the same characters.

The original film gained attention when it was refused a rating due to its sexual content, requiring some footage to be cut before it was allowed a public release.

[1] Yellow Hair 2 attracted no less attention from the casting of transgender actress Harisu in her first major film role.

The first half of the film is told in a non-consecutive narrative format, introducing the three principal characters in turn and taking them up to the events in the convenience store.

Y breaks up with her boyfriend (also her agent), who she believes has done little to promote her acting career, but he tries to blackmail her with a video of the two of them having sex.

They fall in love and continue seeing each other back in Korea, until one day M announces that he has to go on a trip without her.

When the store's boss demands to see her ID, she turns in anger and smashes a bottle of beer over his head.

Y tries to comfort him, but he slips on the spilt beer and falls, banging his head against R's camera case.

The boss again demands that J show him her ID card, but instead she pulls the police officer's gun out of her bag and shoots both men dead.

Filmed on a budget of $1 million,[3] Yellow Hair 2 was released in South Korea on 21 July 2001, and received 26,440 admissions in Seoul.

[5] Park Soo-in of The Korea Times found the director's message in the film to be unclear, stating that while the film's title was supposed to symbolize the "overthrow of convention", this could not "simply be two naked women lying together to show sisterhood or to freely use guns to solve problems".

[2] Yellow Hair 2 was screened at the 26th San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival.

[6] Besides starring in the film, Harisu also contributed two songs to the soundtrack, "Paradise" and "Sad Love".
