Foreign media’s interest in “Squid Game” season 2… Lee Jung-jae x Lee Byung-hun x Gong Yoo confirmed to return?

Foreign media’s interest in Netflix’s original series “Squid Game” season 2 is not cooling down.

On Oct 30th (local time), a foreign media outlet reported, “Squid Game is Netflix’s biggest show ever, so naturally, fans absolutely cannot wait for season two to debut. We have some information that fans might enjoy reading. At least 3 characters from season 1 will be back for season 2, and a new character will also be introduced.”

This media outlet said that Lee Jung-jae (as the main character Seong Gi-hun) would naturally return in season 2, as well as mentioned the rest of the characters. Lee Byung-hun (as The Front Man) confirmed to appear in season 2, while Gong Yoo (as the man in the suit with ddakji) might be back.

The new character is Cheol-su. This media outlet quoted director Hwang Dong-hyuk, “It took 12 years to bring the first season of Squid Game to life last year. And now, Gi-hun returns, The Front Man returns. The man in the suit with ddakji might be back. You’ll also be introduced to Young-hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su. Join us once more for a whole new round.”

“Squid Game”, which was released in September last year, set an unprecedented record in the history of Korean content for a year. In June, the production of “Squid Game” season 2 was confirmed based on consultations that were in line with mutual interests, including reward for creators for the success of season 1.

“Squid Game” revolves around a contest where 456 players, all of whom are in deep financial hardship, risk their lives to play a series of deadly children’s games for the chance to win a 45.6 billion won prize. The production cost of this work was 21.4 million dollars (about 25.3 billion won) and the total profit was more than 891.1 million dollars (1.546 trillion won).
