‘Squid Game’ Star Lee Jung-jae on Changing From ‘Naive’ and ‘Childish’ Player 456 for Season 2: ‘It Was More Fun to Act the Season 1 Gi-hun’
"Squid Game" star Lee Jung-jae and creator/director Hwang Dong-hyuk breakdown the changes they've made to Player 456, a.k.a. Gi-hun, for Season 2.
It’s been more than three years since audiences saw Lee Jung-jae ’s gambling addict Seong Gi-hun jump into his Player 456 uniform to compete in the deadly, childish games at the center of Netflix ’s Korean drama “ Squid Game.” Now that the Emmy-winning smash hit show returns for Season 2 on Dec. 26, viewers might not recognize Lee when he suits up as Gi-hun again — but that’s not because of the lengthy wait between installments. So he got to work on figuring out how best to bring back “Squid Game.” Season 2 finds Gi-hun once again in the games, this time secretly trying to take down the people behind the twisted event. In Season 2, Gi-hun re-enters the games in hopes of taking them down, but when he meets a new set of deeply debt-ridden players, he finds it difficult to explain to all of them why the promised prize money is not worth risking their lives for.
