Actor Gong Yoo said that he was attached to the role of "Menko-Otoko" in the "Squid Game" series, saying that it was his first villain role. On the 3rd, Netflix released a video titled "Behind the Scenes of the Production of Squid Game Season 2."
Gong Yoo, who played the role of Menko-Otoko in seasons 1 and 2 of "Squid Game," said in the video, "Even though he was a character shrouded in mystery, I think he was too kind to me and that made me lose my Menko-Otoko character."
"I thought with the director that I was going to lose the charm of the character," he said. He continued, "I actually wanted to play many villains, but I was holding back on some parts.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk saw and found me," and revealed, "Because it's my first villain role, I've grown more attached to the Menko Man in 'Squid Game' than any other character."
The character of Menko-Otoko led the story in the early stages of "Squid Game Season 2" and left a deep impression. Lee Jung-jae, who plays the main character Song Ki-hoon, said, "Gong Yoo is a character.
"He played the role of a strange character well, and he acted well as a strange character," he said. "He expressed the strangeness and the scary, humorous atmosphere well, and the scene where Gong Yoo appears is very good.
"He's almost filled with GongYoo's energy," he praised. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk also emphasized that "Menko Man is the big hit character of Season 2."
