As we eagerly wait for the release of season 2 of Squid Game, let's take a moment to reflect on the incredible success of this South Korean dystopian series. It's hard to believe that it's been three years since the show first premiered on Netflix, quickly becoming one of the most popular TV shows on the streaming platform.
And now, with just a few days left until the new episodes hit our screens, the creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has revealed an exciting twist – a character who had a minor role in the first season will play a significant role in the upcoming season.
Recently, Metro had the opportunity to speak with Dong-hyuk and other media outlets about what we can expect from the highly-anticipated second season. We'll see Seong Gi-hun, the lead character, once again enter the deadly game after winning ₩45.6billion in the first season as the sole survivor. But this time, his goal is not just to win, but to seek revenge for those who died in the previous game and put an end to it once and for all.
But things take an unexpected turn when Gi-hun's childhood friend, Jung-bae, joins the game as a player. As Dong-hyuk explained, Jung-bae's character may have seemed insignificant in the first season, but he will play a crucial role in the second season. This time around, the focus will not only be on the games but also on the players and their emotional journeys. We will be introduced to even more relatable characters, making the second season even more gripping and intense.
Dong-hyuk emphasized the importance of Jung-bae's character in the new season, as he will impact Gi-hun's trajectory and relationship with him. Jung-bae's brief appearances in the first season will hold much more significance in season two. Dong-hyuk even advised fans to rewatch the first season and pay attention to Jung-bae's character for a better understanding of the upcoming season.
Lead actor Jung-jae also spoke about the violence in Squid Game, stating that it is not for entertainment but to show the desperation and tragic situations of the characters. The violence serves as a medium to display their backstories, which are even more heartbreaking than the violence itself.
Dong-hyuk added that the violence in the show is a metaphor for the brutality faced by the weak and those who lose in a competitive society. He encouraged viewers to interpret the violence in this context.
As we gear up for the release of season 2 on December 26, let's take Dong-hyuk's advice and rewatch the first season to fully immerse ourselves in the world of Squid Game. And who knows, we might discover new details and connections that will make the second season even more thrilling.
So mark your calendars and get ready for another emotional rollercoaster as we join Gi-hun, Jung-bae, and a whole new batch of players in the deadly game of Squid Game.
