There is a high interest in Won Ji-an, a participant in the Netflix original series 'Squid Game' Season 2.
Season 2 of the 'Squid Game' tells the story of a fierce battle 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 begins again. The work recorded 68,000,000,000 viewers (view time divided by the total running time of the work) within four days of its release, topping Netflix's Global Top 10. In addition, the first week alone ranked seventh in Netflix's all-time most popular series (non-English), setting a record for the highest number of viewers in the public week.
Actor Won Ji-an, who played as a contestant semi in Season 2 of 'Squid Game'. He attracted a lot of attention from his first appearance due to his short short-cut hairstyle, colorful piercings, and styling using choker items. The dramatic transformation, which is 180 degrees different from the previous works, is surprising to viewers.

This visual transformation also added high synergy to Semi's girl crush personality. It is an attractive use of a semi-character who is kind to the weak at the same time as a person who is not discouraged by strong Won Ji-an. In particular, it has been praised for completing the appearance of Semi, who is close to the timid and scared Min-su (Edit) among the participants and helps him whenever he is threatened or bullied.

On the other hand, Won Ji-an established his position as an actor by showing stable acting skills in each of the two seasons, including 'D.P.' and 'Boy Flight' and 'Boy Flight' when you say your wish. In the second season of 'Squid Game', a semi-character was drawn in a different way, capturing not only domestic but also foreign viewers.
As such, Won Ji-an, which has gained global interest, will be busier this year with Disney+'s original series 'Polaris' and 'Made in Korea'. As he is currently listed as one of the most anticipated works by the public, I am very curious about Won Ji-an's performance in his next work.
