The battle for Ji-an’s life intensifies as Babylon and mercenaries relentlessly pursue her and her uncle’s store. As the K-drama finale draws near, Ji-an must make a critical decision about how to assert control and survive in A Shop for Killers.
Babylon is stopping at nothing to seize the weapon shop, and they are determined to eliminate anyone who gets in their way. Despite Jin-man’s fortified home, it begins to crumble, leaving Ji-an, Pasin, and their allies in grave danger.

The final moments of the series are packed with explosive gunfire, bloodshed, and realizations, pushing Ji-an to make a life-altering choice: protect herself and her loved ones, or walk away from everything. The burning question remains: will Ji-an take over her uncle’s store, or will she abandon it all to start fresh?
Ji-an Faces Off Against Babylon in A Shop For Killers Finale
By the end of the K-drama, Ji-an and her team are forced into a battle with Seong-jo and the twins. This climaxes with Ji-an confronting Seong-jo at the store and taking his life. Min-hye is severely injured, and Pasin urges Ji-an to return to the store.
However, Brother informs them that the system is down, and with no manager present, a restart has been triggered. At the same time, Jung-min breaks free from his restraints and hacks into the store’s mainframe. Things take a turn when the robotic dog activates, emitting a powerful sound wave.
The disruption gives Seong-jo and the twins an opening to crash their car into the house and break inside. While Pasin and Min-hye fight off the twins, Ji-an and Brother battle Seong-jo. Brother holds him back and tells Ji-an to escape, with Pasin advising her to do the same.
She manages to make her way to the warehouse, but Seong-jo follows closely behind, shooting Brother in the process. In a twist, Jung-min appears from the store and rants about being exploited. Ji-an takes the opportunity to flee, while Seong-jo decides to kill Jung-min, only to realize they might have been able to collaborate.
Eventually, Ji-an and Seong-jo face off in the store. Meanwhile, Min-hye is wounded once more, and the team succeeds in killing one of the twins. Pasin lures the other into a secret tunnel in the bathroom. The twin thinks Pasin escaped through a hidden door but instead triggers Jin-man’s explosive booby trap.
Ji-an, doing her best to defend herself against Seong-jo, is often outmatched. Recalling her uncle’s teachings, she devises a strategy. Using the forklift, she lures Seong-jo to one of his laser bombs. The trap activates, propelling Seong-jo into a pool of flammable liquid.
Ji-an uses her gun to ignite the liquid, but the shop’s emergency sprinklers go off. Seong-jo, believing victory is his because Ji-an has never killed anyone, lunges at her. In a moment of sheer determination, Ji-an pulls the trigger and kills him at close range.
A Shocking Ending to A Shop For Killers
Ji-an makes a bold decision to take over the weapons store and gives the next group of mercenaries an offer they cannot refuse. In a shocking turn, A Shop For Killers reveals that Jin-man is alive. Brother, who survived because he was wearing a bulletproof vest, checks on Ji-an and informs her that Pasin and Min-hye are still alive.

The mercenaries close in through the warehouse, and Brother appears, wearing a bomb vest and holding a sign that says not to shoot. Through the loudspeakers, Ji-an announces that she killed Seong-jo and has Brother show them his head.
She tells the mercenaries she is now the store’s new manager and offers them a chance to continue their business dealings with her. As an additional guarantee, she promises to split the bounty evenly among them with no deductions or fees.
She assures them that their red code status will remain intact. The mercenaries accept her offer, and Ji-an takes charge. In the final moments of A Shop For Killers, Pasin and Min-hye vanish, leaving Ji-an and Brother to deal with the result.
A bus arrives carrying Yellow Code cleaners, tasked with cleaning up the destruction. The following morning, the cleaners inform Ji-an of an oncoming car. When the taxi pulls up, it’s the same driver who helped Ji-an with her uncle’s funeral.
The series ends with the unexpected revelation that Jin-man is alive, stepping out of the taxi, injured but very much alive.
