”Squid Game 2” Lee Jung x Lim Siwan and others reveal their participation numbers... 9 types of first character posters

The first nine character posters for Season 2 of ‘Squid Game’ have been released.

Season 2 of the Netflix series ‘Squid Game’ is a story that includes a fierce confrontation between ‘Gihoon’ (Lee Jung-jae), who swears revenge and joins the game again, and the ‘Front Man’ (Lee Byung-hun) who greets him, and the real game that begins again.

The first character poster for Season 2 of ‘Squid Game’ that was released is reminiscent of the profile pictures taken by the game participants in the film just before they join the game. The poster of number 456 ‘Gihoon’, who returns to finish the game, has a serious expression without a smile, contrasting with the other participants who are new to the game. The different mood of ‘Gihoon’ from the pure and cheerful Season 1 shows his persistence and strong will to participate in the game again, risking his life to reveal the game's backstory.

In contrast, the profile photos of the eight participants with hopes and expectations of making a lot of money are bright with smiles on their faces. As well as Im Siwan as coin (virtual currency) investment YouTube star No. 333 ‘Myung Gi’ and Kang Ha-neul as the amiable character No. 388 ‘Daeho’, Lee Jin-wook as No. 246 ‘Kyung-seok’ who needs money for medical treatment for his sick daughter and No. 120 ‘Hyun-gi’ who needs money for a sex change operation. Park Sung-hoon's bright smile as transgender No. 120 ‘Hyun-joo’ is rather strained.

Yang Dong-geun as 007 ‘Yeon-shik’, who joined the game to pay off his gambling debts, and Kang Ae-shim as his mother, 149 ‘Geum-ja’, are a father and son at a crossroads of choice in a game where survival is at stake. Unlike season 1, the story foretells a new development as a character whose relationship outside the game is connected to the game. From Lee So-hwan as 390 ‘Jung-bae’ who reunites with his best friend ‘Gi-hoon’ who has lost contact with him for the first time in a long time, to Cho Yuri as 222 ‘Junie’ who lost a huge amount of money due to wrong investment information, the participants are laughing without knowing what is going to happen to them in the unpredictable game. The participants are laughing without knowing what will happen to them in the unpredictable game, raising expectations.

Meanwhile, Season 2 of ‘Squid Game’ will be released on 26th of this month via Netflix.
