Lee Byung-hun and Wi Ha-joon appear as estranged and game-torn brothers, while Im Si-wan and Jo Yu-ri take on the roles of former lovers.
On Dec. 9, Netflix unveiled the second batch of character posters and 17 additional stills from the third batch of “Squid Game” season 2. Next season continues the intense clash between Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the game with revenge on his mind, and Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) as he dives into the real game starting again.
The second set of character posters features Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun, and Jun-ho, played by Wi Ha-joon, attracting significant attention. The Front Man poster depicts him unmasking among the pink guards, with his enigmatic expression heightening anticipation for his role in season two. Having revealed his face only briefly in the first season, his expanded presence in the sequel raises expectations. Meanwhile, Jun-ho’s poster, which shows his determined look, raises questions about how he survived the dangerous events of the first season, whether he will discover the truth behind the games and what awaits him if he reunites with his brother.
The third set of stills introduces a vivid array of characters, amplifying the excitement of season two’s layered narratives and dynamic plots. Of particular note is the tense dynamic between Myung-gi (Im Si-wan) and Jun-hee (Jo Yu -ri), whose characters are marked with “O” and “X” symbols on their chests. This image underlines the central theme of “choices” and alludes to the fate that awaits the participants in the game.
Other cuts show Dae-ho (Kang Ha-neul), with a Marine Corps tattoo and a playful smile; Gyeong-seok (Lee Jin-wook), a father who steps in to finance his daughter’s medical treatment; Jun-ho, searching for clues to the truth behind the games; and No-eul (Park Gyu-young), as they watch his invitation to the game, making everyone curious about their intertwined stories.
Additionally, new characters like Geum-ja (Kang Ae-shim) and Gi-hun’s longtime friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) are seen preparing for the games, further fueling interest in the challenges and future stories.
The stills also introduce shaman Seon-nyeo (Chae Kook-hee), a figure who delivers ominous prophecies; shy and passive Min-su (Lee David); Nam-gyu (Roh Jae-won), Thanos’ right-hand man (Choi Seung-hyun); and the unpredictable Thanos himself, along with Semi (Won Ji-an), who takes care of Min-su. These distinct personalities heighten the suspense about the outcomes of the unpredictable game. Adding to the intrigue, actors like Kim Si-eun, Jeon Seok-ho, and Kim Pub-lae enrich the ensemble, promising a diverse and compelling narrative.
The second season of “Squid Game” will premiere on December 26.
