Actress Park Gyu-young is embroiled in a controversy over a spoiler for the Netflix original series ‘Squid Game 3’.

On the 8th, Park Gyu-young revealed the filming site of ‘Squid Game’ on her Instagram.

The revealed photo shows Park Gyu-young wearing a pink guard outfit and relaxing in front of a fireplace.

Although it looks like an ordinary behind-the-scenes photo from a filming site, the photo sparked controversy because it included another actor wearing a pink guard outfit.

Netizens speculated that the other pink guard in the photo was one of the characters in ‘Squid Game 2’, saying, “If she was one of the pink guard extras, she wouldn‘t be sitting in the actor’s chair”, “Isn‘t that a huge spoiler for season 3?”.

When the controversy arose, Park Gyu-young quickly deleted the photo, but it had already spread like wildfire through online communities and SNS.

‘Squid Game’ previously emphasized strict security during the production process. They had the press sign various pledges, and they also demanded strict security during press conferences and preview screenings.

Meanwhile, ‘Squid Game 2’ is a story about Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae), who vows revenge and returns to the game, and the fierce confrontation between the frontman (Lee Byung-hun) who greets him, and the real game that begins again.
