Anticipation for the new season of Squid Game is hitting an all-time high as its premiere approaches, with original stars Lee Jung Jae, Wi Ha Joon, and Lee Byung Hun returning to the screen. On September 19, the OTT platform released an exciting teaser featuring the trio as they dive into a variety of fan theories surrounding the upcoming season. In the clip, Lee Jung Jae, Wi Ha Joon, and Lee Byung Hun react to the theories with a blend of amusement and intrigue, all while carefully sidestepping any spoilers, further fueling fans’ excitement.
The video showcases an intriguing array of fan theories, with one particularly notable idea centering on Wi Ha Joon’s character, Hwang Jun Ho. Once a relentless police officer searching for his missing brother, fans speculate that Hwang Jun Ho may undergo a dark transformation in the new season, potentially becoming the new game host. This dramatic twist envisions him turning villainous, though Wi Ha Joon remains tight-lipped, neither confirming nor denying the theory, keeping the mystery around his character alive.
Another popular fan theory suggests that Lee Byung Hun’s character, the Front Man, might step down from his role as the game’s overseer to become one of the masked participants. However, Lee Byung Hun quickly dismisses this idea, calling it “imaginative but far from the truth.” While he debunks this theory, his response only heightens the intrigue surrounding his character in the upcoming season.
Fans have also been buzzing about Lee Jung Jae’s new look, particularly his vibrant pink hair, with some speculating it might hint at a new role as one of the pink soldiers. Additionally, there’s growing speculation that new cast members Park Gyu Young and Jo Yu Ri could be portraying the adult version of Seong Gi Hun’s daughter, a character central to the first season’s storyline.
Set to premiere on December 26, 2024, Squid Game Season 2 will pick up right where the gripping story left off. Lee Jung Jae returns as Seong Gi Hun, who abandons his plans to move to the U.S. in favor of exposing the sinister organization behind the deadly games, choosing to pursue the truth over reuniting with his daughter. The new season promises to delve even deeper into the dark world of Squid Game, with Lee Byung Hun reprising his role as the enigmatic Front Man and Wi Ha Joon returning as Hwang Jun Ho.
Gong Yoo is set to return as the mysterious recruiter, while the new season boasts an impressive lineup of notable actors, including Im Siwan, Kang Ha Neul, Park Gyu Yong, Park Sung Hoon, Jo Yu Ri, Yang Dong Geun, Lee David, Lee Jin Wook, and T.O.P. With this star-studded cast and the ongoing suspense and intrigue, Squid Game Season 2 is poised to once again captivate audiences and spark widespread anticipation.
