Netflix’s hit series ‘Squid Game’ is returning with a second season. At the production presentation held on the morning of the 9th at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul, actor Lee JungJae revealed that this season aims to enhance the charm of its predecessor. He stated, “We focused on expressing the unique elements that viewers loved in Season 1 more deeply,” raising expectations for the new season.
Lee JungJae will once again take on the role of the protagonist Seong GiHun, delivering a passionate performance. He mentioned, “Pursuing only new things might be greedy,” and added, “Viewers will want to relive the emotions from the previous season.” This suggests that Season 2 aims not only to introduce new elements but also to recreate the existing emotional impact.
Additionally, Lee JungJae emphasized the challenges faced by director Hwang DongHyuk rather than his own burdens as an actor. Understanding the director’s situation, who had to shoot Seasons 2 and 3 simultaneously, he strived to follow his direction as much as possible. He shared, “The director had to endure a long filming period through communication with many actors and staff,” and wanted to share the mental and physical burdens. This collaboration eased the pressure on the project and created a freer creative environment.
‘Squid Game 2’ will offer viewers a new story while continuing the emotional impact of Season 1. As the development progresses, the anticipation of what impression this work will leave is growing.
