Park Sung-hoon said at the production presentation for the second season of 'Squid Game' held at DDP Art Hall 1 in Dongdaemun, Seoul on the 9th, "'It's a trendy gender role, but it's a righteous person.'"
The 「Squid Game」 released in September 2021 is gaining global popularity at the syndrome level and is set to be released in season 2 on the 26th. 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.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who became the first Asian to win the Best Director award at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, is directing, writing, and producing again, including Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-joon, Gong Yoo, who returned from season 1, and Lim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Kyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee Seo-hwan, and Jo Yu-ri, who are newly joining season 2.
Park Sung-hoon plays the role of transgender No. 120 Hyun-joo, who needs money to complete sex confirmation surgery, and is making an unconventional acting transformation. Park Sung-hoon is "transgender" about his character. I want to have sex confirmation surgery, but I'm a person who comes into the game room because of the lack of surgery costs. It is altruistic unlike other participants. He is a man of righteousness with courage and leadership."
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk added the LGBTQ characters, saying, "There were participants who belonged to the minorities. Foreign workers and North Korean defectors belong to the underprivileged class in Korea. This time, I made it with the thought of putting in an LGBTQ character. If you look at it, it seems that Hyun-joo will be a person who receives a lot of attention and love during season 2. You'll see the protection of something human in the world of Abi Kyu-hwan's game"I helped.
Season 2 of Squid Game will be released on Netflix on Dec. 26.
