Returning to the game after vowing revenge, 'Gi-hoon'(Lee Jung-jae) and 'Frontman'(Lee Byung-hun)'(Lee Byung-hun) fiercely confronting each other, and the story of the real game that begins again 'Squid Game' is drawing attention by breaking the highest number of viewers in the open week and ranking No. 1 in the global TOP 10 season 2, released a video of 38 behind-the-scenes stills that show a glimpse of the filming site and a video of 'Unmask' that delves into the stories of veiled characters.
The behind-the-scenes stills released focus on everything from the vivid filming site to the efforts of actors, directors, and producers to complete the work. 'The Mugunghwa has bloomed' The appearance of Lee Jung-jae and Hwang Dong-hyuk, who are smiling brightly and talking on the set, suggests that the two's chemistry from season 1 has shone again this time. Lee Jung-jae, who is practicing Jegichagi before filming '5 People's hexagonal modern pentathlon', reminds all viewers of the moment when they were sweating.
One of the most surprising twists in season 2 of 'Squid Game' is that 'Frontman' goes directly into the game disguised as one of the contestants to prevent 'Gihoon'. Lee Byung-hun's still, who is fully immersed in 'Frontman' and filming the OX voting scene, realizes that the colorful aspect of 'Frontman', which was hidden behind the mask, is more completely expressed with his delicate acting skills.
In the stills of Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Kang Ha-neul, Lee Seo-hwan, and Cho Yu-ri, who are waiting for filming in groups, you can see the chemistry and amicable scenes between the actors behind the game where today's colleague becomes tomorrow's enemy.
The appearance of the set of 'Matching Game', which is newly appearing in season 2 and drawing explosive reactions, is also eye-catching. By minimizing CG work, 'Matching Game' filmed on the actual set adds to the tension in the game, with brutal rules that completely contrast with concentric-stimulating elements such as colorful doors, warm lighting, and carousels.
The video of 'Unmasked' is also interesting by highlighting various characters, including 'Bugnam' (Gong Yoo), who led the strong start of season 2, 'Noeul' (Park Kyu-young), one of the secretive pink guards, and 'Frontman' who participates in the game disguised as 'Youngil'.
First of all, director Hwang Dong-hyuk said about the reason for appearing 'Bugnam' in the first episode of Season 2 that 'Bugnam's first mission' is to find 'Bugnam', and "What will happen if they meet?" I started from there and made the story of the first episode" he said. The first episode, which was created by Gong Yoo's performance, which perfectly expresses the mad gaze of the unknown "Dognam," and director Hwang Dong-hyuk's direction, which maximizes fear and tension, left an unforgettable impact on countless viewers around the world.

'Frontman' also takes off his mask and disguises himself as a contestant named 'Yeongil' in season two and enters the game directly. Regarding the once-game contestant and winner 'Frontman', Lee Byung-hun said "I think it must have been a feeling of a lot of emotions coming and going every moment because there is a clear purpose but still a humanity that remains."and revealed an interesting interpretation of 'frontman".
As for why he set deeper and more colorful stories of hidden characters in season one, director Hwang Dong-hyuk said, `I wanted to show the story of how the whole people look through the people in the stadium as if it were someone else's story"It was interesting to reveal that it contained a message that penetrated modern society through the characters in the game.
Behind-the-scenes stills and footage of 'Unmasked'Squid Game' Season 2, which draws attention by revealing interesting behind-the-scenes stories that were hidden behind the work, is only streaming with rave reviews on Netflix, while Season 3 of 'Squid Game' will be released in 2025.
