Anticipation Soars For Squid Game 2’s Web Of Relationships “Im Si-wan And Jo Yu-ri Play Ex-Lovers”
Lee Byung-hun and Wi Ha-joon appear as estranged brothers divided by the game, while Im Si-wan and Jo Yu-ri take on the roles of ex-lovers.
On Dec 9th, Netflix unveiled the second set of character posters and 17 additional still cuts from the third batch for “Squid Game” Season 2. The upcoming season continues the intense clash between Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the game with revenge in mind, and the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) while diving into the real game that begins again.
The second set of character posters features the Front Man, portrayed by Lee Byung-hun, and Jun-ho, played by Wi Ha-joon, drawing significant attention. The Front Man’s poster depicts him unmasking in the midst of pink guards, his enigmatic expression heightening anticipation about his role in Season 2. Having revealed his face only briefly in Season 1, his expanded presence in the sequel raises expectations. Meanwhile, Jun-ho’s poster, showcasing his determined gaze, prompts questions about how he survived the perilous events of Season 1, whether he will uncover the truth behind the games, and what lies ahead if he reunites with his brother.
The third batch of still cuts introduces a vivid array of characters, amplifying excitement for the layered narratives and dynamic storylines in Season 2. Of particular note is the tense dynamic between Myung-gi (Im Si-wan) and Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri), whose characters are marked with “O” and “X” symbols on their chests. This visual underscores the central theme of “choices” and hints at the fates awaiting participants in the game.
Other still cuts showcase Dae-ho (Kang Ha-neul), sporting a Marine Corps tattoo and a playful grin; Gyeong-seok (Lee Jin-wook), a father entering the game to fund his daughter’s medical treatment; Jun-ho, seeking clues about the hidden truth behind the games; and No-eul (Park Gyu-young), gazing at her game invitation—all sparking curiosity about their intertwined backstories.
Additionally, new characters like Geum-ja (Kang Ae-shim) and Gi-hun’s long-time friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) are seen bracing themselves for the games, further stoking interest in the challenges and stories ahead.
The still cuts also introduce the shaman Seon-nyeo (Chae Kook-hee), a figure delivering ominous prophecies; timid and passive Min-su (Lee David); Nam-gyu (Roh Jae-won), the right-hand man of Thanos (Choi Seung-hyun); and the unpredictable Thanos himself, along with Semi (Won Ji-an), who looks after Min-su. These distinct personalities heighten the suspense over the outcomes in the unpredictable game. Adding to the intrigue, actors like Kim Si-eun, Jeon Seok-ho and Kim Pub-lae enrich the ensemble, promising a diverse and compelling narrative.
“Squid Game” Season 2 will premiere on Dec 26th.
