At the press conference for the second season of the Netflix series “Squid Game” held at DDP in Seoul on the morning of December 9, director Hwang Dong-hyuk introduced the second season.
Hwang explained: “There are several distinctions this season. A key aspect is the pro and con voting system for game progression, introduced briefly in Season 1. In Season 2, this mechanism will be implemented in every game and will have significant weight. With so much talk about voting these days, I think viewers will find it intriguing to draw connections between the show and current events. The new games introduced in Season 2 will also be exciting to watch.”
He added: “The story will span across seasons 2 and 3, but if I were to focus solely on season 2, it would reflect how both Korea and the rest of the world are increasingly divided, with conflicts escalating as people draw lines and antagonize each other. This applies both to conflicts within nations and to wars between countries. In “Squid Game” you will also see division, fragmentation and humans antagonizing each other. I think viewers will feel that the world of ‘Squid Game’ resembles the real world. I hope the series offers an opportunity for reflection.”
Meanwhile, the second season of “Squid Game” tells the story of Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the deadly game seeking revenge, and his confrontation with the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung-hun ).
