The first season of this show was bursting with enigmas, unexpected turns, startling discoveries, and jaw-dropping moments – little wonder it became a global phenomenon on Netflix and garnered widespread critical acclaim, including six prestigious awards and a historic first nomination for Outstanding Drama Series in the non-English language category. It’s little wonder then that enthusiasts have concocted theories regarding the outcome once.
In a brand-new video released as part of Netflix’s ongoing Geeked Week, stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, and Wi Ha-jun gather around for an entertaining session of reacting to fan theories collected from viewers worldwide, sharing their thoughts on Seong Gi-hun, the Entrance Man, and detective Hwang Jun-ho.
Can fan theories truly become a shared vocabulary capable of transcending cultural and linguistic barriers to bring people together? It’s fully potential!
Our favourite solutions embody:
- As season two unfolds, anticipate a deeper dive into the enigmatic lives of the jumpsuit-clad characters from season one, potentially offering a fresh perspective through their eyes on pivotal events previously explored. Despite Wi Ha-Jun’s initial enthusiasm for the idea, he ultimately decided to pass on it.
- There’s a subtle significance behind the color of the envelope that potential Squid Game opponents select when they’re being recruited. Lee Byong-hung delivered a dry retort to the enthusiastic fan, saying, “I think it’s actually you who came up with that idea.”
- Gi-hun’s quest for vengeance begins as he seeks to take down the ruthless mortgage sharks responsible for drawing him into the game in the first instance? In a tone that’s equal parts charming and disarming, Lee Jung-jae poses an inquiry about Seong Gi-hun’s propensity for causing harm: “Do you think the kind-hearted Seong Gi-hun would do something to hurt others?” – a query that seems almost innocent, given the jarring contrast with footage from Season One that shows his character ruthlessly brutalizing someone.
One consistent takeaway from the video is that season two will feature “multiple new Korean video games” and that the entire season is more captivating than the sum of its theories. The clip also reunites us with the show’s trio of returning stars, who are even more charismatic in person than their on-screen counterparts.
The new cast members of Season Two include Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri, and Gained Ji-an. While we may not have all the answers, there’s certainly room for speculation – so feel free to stretch your imagination and come up with some additional ideas! As the camera pans across the scene, it’s clear that both Park and Jo are struggling to relate to the mature version of Gi-hun’s younger daughter.
