With the release of two second character posters and a third press still from Season 2 of the Netflix original series ‘Squid Game’, fans are increasingly curious about how the two brothers Frontman (Lee Byung-hun), who leads the game, and Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon), his younger brother who is chasing the truth about the game, will reunite.

The second character poster focuses on Frontman Lee Byung-hun and Wi Ha-joon, who plays Jun-ho. Frontman‘s poster focuses on him with a meaningful expression as he alone takes off his mask among the pink guards. Frontman, who hid behind a mask in Season 1 and only revealed his face once at the end, is raising tension about what kind of activities he will fully display in Season 2. Jun-ho’s poster with a determined look in his eyes raises various curiosities such as whether Jun-ho, who faced a crisis at the end of Season 1, will be able to survive and uncover the truth about the game, and whether the brothers will be reunited and how they will meet if they do.
​The third press still cut that was released together contains various appearances of characters in Season 2, raising expectations for three-dimensional characters and dynamic narratives. In particular, the still cuts of Ki-hoon, who shows determination and obsession to finish the game, unlike his innocent appearance in Season 1, and the Frontman watching him raise curiosity and create tension about how their confrontation will unfold.

Meanwhile, Season 2 of ‘Squid Game’ is a story about the fierce confrontation between Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the game after vowing revenge, and the Frontman (Lee Byung-hun) who greets him, and the real game starting again. It will be released on December 26th.
