It seems that the return of Top (Choi Seung-hyun), a former member of the group Big Bang, is just around the corner. From the character spoilers of his return Netflix series 'Squid Game' Season 2, a still of his cheering appearance was also released.

Season 2 of the Netflix series 'Squid Game' will release the 2nd character poster and 17 kinds of 3rd Bodo Steel on the 9th, raising global expectations for a new season.

Season 2 of the 'Squid Game' tells the story of a fierce battle between 'Gi-hoon" (Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the game after vowing revenge, and 'Frontman" (Lee Byung-hun), who greets him, and the real game begins again.

The 3rd Bodo Steel, which was released together, further raises expectations for three-dimensional characters and dynamic narratives by featuring various characters in Season 2 of 'Squid Game'. Unlike the innocent appearance of season 1, the stills of 'Gi-hoon' and 'Frontman' who watch it show their determination and tenacity to end the game raise curiosity and create tension.

The appearance of O and X on the chests of former lovers 'Myeonggi'(Tim Si-wan) and 'Junhee'(Jo Yuri) raises questions about how the fate of the participants will flow within the main theme of Season 2 of 'Choi'. The appearance of 'Daeho'(Kang Ha-neul), who is smiling brightly while revealing the tattoo of the Marine Corps on his forearm, 'Kyungseok(Lee Jin-wook), his brother 'Inho' who came into the game to earn money for his daughter's treatment, 'Junho' who is looking for clues to reveal the hidden reality of the game, and 'Noeul(Park Kyu-young) looking at the game invitation stimulate curiosity about their narratives related to the game.

Then, the stills of 'Geumja' (Kang Ae-sim) and 'Gi-hoon's old friend 'Jung-bae' (Lee Seo-hwan), who consolidate their minds in different ways ahead of the survival game, add to the curiosity and expectation for what new games will appear in season 2 and the stories they will experience. On top of that, there are shaman 'Seonnyeo'(Chae Kook-hee) who pours prophecies at the participants while contemplating the game, cowardly and passive 'Minsu'(Lee Da-wit), right arm 'Nam Kyu'(Choi Seung-hyun), and freewheeling 'Tanos'(Roh Jae-won), and 'Semi'(Jangwon-an) who takes care of 'Minsu'.

It raises questions about what fate different characters of different personalities will face in unpredictable games. In addition, various actors such as Kim Si-eun, Jeon Seok-ho, and Kim Beop-rae will fill season 2 of Squid Game in abundance.

On the other hand, after being sentenced to October imprisonment and two years of probation for smoking cannabis at home in October 2016, Top left his agency YG Entertainment in February last year, and also withdrew from the group Big Bang. In the process, Top, who reversed his retirement announcement, will return to the entertainment industry with Season 2 of 'Squid Game'. His character was recently known as Thanos, a rapper who was a runner-up in hip-hop survival.

Season 2 of Squid Game will be released on Netflix on Dec. 26.
