Park Gyu-young‘s big spoiler → Netflix’s ‘Ogame’ spoiler shooter operation ‘failure’ [DA: Square]

Netflix‘s ‘Squid Game’, which had been diligently urging people to avoid spoilers, has encountered the ridiculous situation of not being able to prevent spoilers for an actor of all people. On the morning of the 8th, actress Park Gyu-young, who appeared in ‘Squid Game Season 2’, revealed photos from the filming set of ‘Squid Game Season 2’ on her SNS. In the revealed photos, Park Gyu-young is seen resting on a chair on the set wearing a pink guard uniform. The problematic part is the identity of the actor sitting next to Park Gyu-young in a pink guard uniform. The actor in question is an actor who appeared in ‘Squid Game 2’, and since the identity of the character has not been revealed, Park Gyu-young’s post was literally a ‘huge spoiler’. ‘Squid Game Season 2’ has a narrative that is closely connected to Season 3, and expectations are growing for what kind of story will unfold in Season 3. This is the reason why director Hwang Dong-hyeok and the cast including Lee Jung-jae had to be c
