Lee Byung-hun met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 8th and said, `It seems that there is no choice but to talk about it because it is a work that receives a lot of attention from many people"However, since SNS activities are an individual's domain, I don't think I can say anything about it."
Netflix's original series 'Squid Game' has been a syndrome-level hit worldwide since its release in September 2021. Season 2, which returned after three years, is a story about 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 that begins again, followed by director Hwang Dong-hyuk's megaphone. Lee Byung-hun, who played as a frontman in season 1, participated in the game disguised himself as `Oh Young-il' in season 2.
Earlier on the 30th, Park Sung-hoon posted a Japanese AV poster made under the concept of 'Squid Game' on his personal account, sparking controversy. The post was deleted about a minute after it was uploaded, but it has already spread quickly to the online community. In response, the agency explained that it was Park Sung-hoon's mistake, but public opinion is still not good. In addition, Park Kyu-young was also criticized for posting photos that could be a spoiler for season 3 on his personal account.
In response, Lee Byung-hun "It seems that the story is bound to come out because it is a work that attracts the attention of many people. If 'Squid Game 2' was not a much-loved piece, but an unknown piece, it might not have been talked about. I feel that this project is getting more attention than any other project"I think it's good, but isn't it actually their own activities?" I don't think I can say anything because it's such a personal activity."
Meanwhile, Netflix 'Squid Game 2' was released on the 26th of last month and is set to be released in Season 3 in 2025.
