As we eagerly await the second season of Squid Game, viewers were left on the edge of their seats after the official trailer dropped and seemingly gave away a major plot twist. While we follow protagonist Seong Gi-hun's daring decision to return to the deadly games, it's another character that has caught the attention of fans.
Many are convinced that Choi Seung-Hyun, also known as lead rapper TOP from K-Pop group Big Bang, will be revealed as the show's villain after a menacing glimpse of him in the trailer. Fans on YouTube have already dissected the clip, with one user speculating, "So the detective survives, Gi-hun is trying to sabotage the game from the inside, and TOP being a psychopath is something I didn't expect."
Others pointed out that TOP has previous experience playing villainous roles, such as his character "Vick" in the 2009 K-drama series IRIS. Excitement is building as fans anticipate TOP's performance, with one fan exclaiming, "Can't wait for TOP to be an absolute MENACE. LET'S GO!"
The trailer reveals that Seong Gi-hun is back in the games, this time with a new group of players willing to risk their lives for a chance to win a huge cash prize. This serves as a commentary on the extreme wealth inequality in Korea. But Gi-hun has a different motive this time around - he wants to infiltrate the system and take down those in power who orchestrate the deadly games.
"I'm trying to put an end to this game," Gi-hun declares in the trailer. However, his mission is not without obstacles, as we see in-fighting among the players and a potential uprising. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has promised that season 2 will delve deeper into the themes of the first season and offer new challenges for the characters.
When asked about the level of violence in the upcoming season, Hwang stated, "Because these games run on the same rules that when you're eliminated from the game, you are shot to death, I think that the level of violence...it's going to be a similar level." He also emphasized that the violence serves as a metaphor for what happens to those who lose in both the game and in society.
Fans can expect to see the second season of Squid Game on Netflix on Boxing Day. If you have any tips or stories related to the show, don't hesitate to reach out to us - we'd love to hear from you!
