Netflix, one of the world’s largest video distribution services specializing in entertainment, will exclusively distribute Season 2 of the mega-hit thriller “Squid Game.
In this “survival thriller,” the players challenge a “death game” with an extremely high prize, and aim to stay alive and win the prize money under the unforgiving rules of “instant death” if they lose.
In addition to Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, and Gong Yoo who appeared in Season 1, Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, and Park Sung-hoon will be joining the cast for Season 2, which has been highly anticipated around the world.
In addition, it has been announced that up-and-coming new cast members such as Choi Seung-hyun (T.O.P.), formerly of BIGBANG, Jo Yu-ri from IZ*ONE, and Park Gyu-young will join the cast to further enhance the “Craziest Death Game”. The film is based on the story of a man who has a large amount of debt and problems.
This is a “survival thriller” in which players with massive debts and problems, who are on the verge of giving up on life, challenge a “death game” for a very high prize. The epic struggle to turn one’s life around by using all one’s strength and intelligence, and sometimes deceiving one’s opponents, has been a hot topic of conversation and has become a social phenomenon around the world, the biggest mega-hit in Netflix’s history.
The game is based on well-known games such as “Red light, Green light, One, Two, Three!” and “tug of war,” and the tension is palpable. The dramatic human background of the players, including the main character Gi-Hoon, who were “forced” to take on the game, also attracted a great deal of attention.
Joining “Squid Game” for the new season are Choi Seung-hyun, formerly of BIGBANG’s T.O.P., and Jo Yu-ri, a former member of girl group IZ*ONE who is now a solo singer and actor. Okay” and “Sweet Home,” as well as Park Gyu-young, who stars in the Netflix series “Celebrity,” which will be available on June 30 (Friday); Kang Ae-Sim, who made a special appearance in “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”; Lee David, Lee Jin-wook of “Sweet Home,” Roh Jae-won of “Once Upon a Small Town,” and Won Ji-an of “D.P.” are among the up-and-coming cast members.
Lee Jung-jae, who has appeared on the show since Season 1, has become known around the world with the worldwide popularity of “Squid Game,” and is also scheduled to appear in the “Star Wars” series “Acolyte,” making him a flying star. The newly announced new cast members, including Park Gyu-young and Jo Yu-ri, are also expected to quickly rise to global stardom.
At the Primetime Emmy Awards, the biggest festival in American television, Lee Jung-jae won Best Actor (Drama Series) and director Hwang Dong-hyuk won Best Director (Drama Series). This is the first time for a non-English speaking production to win the award, a historic accomplishment.
Season 2 will see the return of familiar cast members, including Lee Jung-jae as the main character Gi-hoon, Lee Byung-hun as the game’s “front man,” and Gong Yoo as the man who guides the viewers to the game, whose true identity is shrouded in mystery. Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul (When the Camellia Blooms), and Park Sung-hoon (The Glory) will also be joining the cast, and the lineup is expected to be even more powerful than in season 1. What kind of games await us next? And will the true mastermind behind this brutal game be revealed?
