Thousands of fans gathered in the city center to catch a glimpse of the upcoming season of Squid Game and were treated to appearances by stars Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-jun and director Hwang Dong-hyuk. The teaser showcases Lee Jung-jae reprising his role as Seong Gi-hun, the unlikely hero from the first season. Gi-hun appears visibly changed, sporting a hardened demeanour that hints at the toll these games take on their players.
The trailer also teases the return of Lee Byung-hun as the enigmatic Front Man and Wi Ha-jun as detective Hwang Jun-ho, whose fates were left uncertain at the end of the first season. Season two appears set to raise the stakes and deepen the impact of the games on the lives of those who play them.
