'Squid Game' director says new season will see Gi-hun experience 'A New Realisation and Awakening'

“ Squid Game ” writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk and two of the show’s stars, Lee Jung-jae and Wi Ha-Jun, made the trek to Italy’s Lucca Comics and Games on Thursday and revealed new details of the hit Netflix series’ second season. Asked about what fans of the mega-hit Korean-language survival drama should expect, Hwang teased the “biggest difference” between the first and second seasons. Hwang — who was the first Asian to win an Emmy for outstanding directing in a drama series — also told the crowd of mainly Italian fans, who packed Lucca’s 17th Teatro del Giglio to the rafters, that the second season will feature two Italian songs: Giacomo Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma,” from the opera “Turandot,” and “Time to Say Goodbye” (aka “Con te partirò”) performed by Andrea Bocelli.
