Do you think it was on purpose?
Koreaboo
Squid game 2 was officially released on Netflix on December 26th. The final season shows Lee Jung Jae returning as Seong Gi Hun to lead a new all-star cast into the next round of deadly games.
Reception has been mixed, although there has already been talk of the show’s upcoming third season.
The cast of the latest season also attracted attention, including the inclusion of former BIGBANG star TOPTOP Thanosa rapper who lost money in a cryptocurrency investment scam, receiving negative reviews about his performance.
However, a scene from the show featuring the star has gained some traction online.
The third game played in the second season was “Mingle”, in which players grouped together based on announced numbers and then ran to the safety of rooms. Each round began with players being spun around on a carousel-like platform.
As the platform spun, Thanos, known for his unserious but lethal energy, swung his arm back and forth in the air. The official Netflix account used this moment to react to another user’s question about X.

Watching the short clip, the point dance from BIGBANG’s “Bang Bang Bang” might come to mind. The official Squid Game account seemed to think the same, citing the previously mentioned clip as “Bang Bang Bang.”

Previously, TOP appeared to make his feelings about the group known by blocking fans who tagged him in posts celebrating BIGBANG’s anniversary.

Whether it was intentional or not, many fans were amused by the potential reference.

So, mentioning that song through his actions in the drama, we should take it as a sign that TOP is coming back as BIGBANG？？？ https://t.co/naohpCnAwS
