On January 8, Park Gyu-young uploaded a behind-the-scenes photo from the set of “Squid Game” to his SNS story. The image showed her dressed in the guard’s pink uniform, taking a break during filming.
However, the real stir arose from the unexpected identity of another person dressed as a pink guard sitting next to her. The photo was later revealed to be from footage not included in season 2, hinting at a major plot twist in season 3.
Although Park Gyu-young quickly deleted the post, the image had already spread widely across online communities and social media platforms. Fans have expressed frustration, complaining of being exposed to unwanted spoilers.
Meanwhile, Park Gyu-young’s agency responded to the alleged spoiler with a simple statement, saying: “Please confirm details until season 3.”
This comes on the heels of another “Squid Game” controversy involving actor Park Sung-hoon. He shocked the public by accidentally posting explicit content related to “Squid Game” in his SNS story.
Park Sung-hoon’s agency initially stated “It was an error while checking the DMs“, but later changed their explanation, stating: “He made a mistake trying to send it to the person responsible.” This clumsy response only fueled further criticism.
With both Park Sung-hoon’s explicit content scandal and Park Gyu-young’s massive spoiler, “Squid Game” cast members’ SNS activities have become a significant job risk. It remains to be seen how the production team will address these ongoing issues.
