From Lee Jung-jae, who returned to the game of death wearing number 456, to Im Si-wan, who transformed into a coin investment broadcast YouTuber, the second season of the Netflix series ‘Squid Game’ is raising expectations by releasing two main posters featuring various characters and 12 press stills for the second season.

The two main posters for the first season that have been released immediately catch the eye with the participants in green training suits contrasting with the colorful, fairytale-like space, inviting viewers around the world to ‘Squid Game’ once again.

The ‘Frontman’ confidently reveals himself with his mask off among the Pink Guards who have still not revealed their identities, raising curiosity about whether Ki-hoon, who has participated in the game again, will be able to reveal the ‘Frontman’‘s identity through this game.
