Who will be joining the cast for Squid Game Season 2?
In June 2023, Netflix announced that 12 new cast members would be joining the ensemble: Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Park Gyu-young, Jo Yu-ri, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Lee Jin-uk, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, and Won Ji-an. Hwang has also said that the audience will “be introduced to Young-hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su.” Young-hee is better known to fans as the creepy motion-sensing doll from “Red Light, Green Light” who shoots the contestants who fail to freeze during the first game. She was inspired by a character of the same name, a schoolgirl with pigtails, who appeared on the covers of Korean textbooks in the ’70s and ’80s. She was often seen alongside Cheol-su, a cherubic schoolboy with a bowl cut, who, in the disturbing world of the show, is sure to be just as bloodthirsty as his partner.
What will be the plot of Squid Game Season 2?
Plot details are being kept carefully under wraps, though the news that Cheol-su will be joining Young-hee suggests that there will be a whole new set of perilous games for a new set of hopefuls to play. It’s also worth remembering that Season 1 ended with Gi-hun traveling to the airport, en route to Los Angeles to see his daughter, when he, once again, spotted the recruiter with ddakji. Having snagged one of his invitation cards, he called the number on it and asked the Front Man how he could continue exploiting vulnerable people. The latter told him to get on the plane, but Gi-hun instead ended the call and turned around. Will he be able to track down the Front Man and end the games for good? And will he ever make it back to his daughter? Those are just two of the countless questions we’re hoping will be answered in Season 2.
