Meet the Cast of Squid Game Season 2

It has been three years since Gi-hun won the Squid Game, but throughout that time, he has been obsessively searching for the people responsible for the deadly operation. He reenters the game hoping to go head-to-head with the man in charge, the masked Front Man (Lee Byun-hun).

Since the global success of Squid Game season 1, Lee Jung-jae has won a Primetime Emmy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Critics’ Choice Award for his role as Gi-hun. This past year, he starred in the Star Wars series The Acolyte and the Korean film Revolver.

Lee hopes fans will connect with the storyline this season, telling The Tonight Show, “Because season 1 was so widely loved, we did feel the pressure about whether or not season 2 would be just as loved. However, our story has gotten more diverse, deeper, and with a very clear theme. So I don’t know if I can say it will be as successful, but what I can say is that it’s just as well-made.”
