Three years later, the show is returning with a second season on Netflix, and in a recent interview with Fever FM, Lee Jung-jae aka Player 456 and the winner of the games in first season, opens up on what to expect from the second season. Lee Jung-jae on Squid Game 2 When asked if his character is out for vengeance from the people behind the games in Squid Game 2, Jung-jae said, “Yes, Gi-hun wants to bring all the hosts behind the game to justice. So, he’s very strongly determined to stop the game.” He also opened up on why he thinks the show is still so popular even after a three-year wait between the seasons: “I guess it’s the iconic design and the relatable characters, relatable situations and emotions. There could be lots of different reasons too but we’re just really happy that they are still enjoying it.” While the violence in the show did take the audience aback, for Jung-jae it was still secondary to the emotional toll it took.
