Vowing revenge and returning to the game, a fierce confrontation between 'Gi-hoon'(Lee Jung-jae) and 'Frontman'(Lee Byung-hun) who greet him, and a story about a real game that begins again 'Squid Game' released an unreleased still, 'The World in the Game' video that will add rich fun to the play along with a poster of the 'Squid Game' character that gave viewers an unexpected twist.
Played by Park Kyu-young, 'Noeul' is a character whose only goal is to find his young daughter who he left in the North. Early in the play, 'Noeul's appearance of living in a puppet mask at an amusement park and working part-time in a parade 'Squid Game' made him think he was a participant in a new game. However, 'Noeul' appeared in a pink guard uniform rather than a green training suit, breaking everyone's expectations and giving a shocking twist. Viewers are reacting explosively when the secret of the character 'Noeul' is revealed. In the released character poster, the appearance of 'Noeul', which took off the pink guard mask and revealed its face, reminds me of the scene where the real identity of 'Noeul' in the play is revealed again.
In season 1, Park Kyu-young, who expressed and acted the story of Pink Guard, which was veiled while only being seen as part of a brutal game, wondered as a viewer what kind of story the Pink Guard would have made him do that. It was really nice to be a character who can show the story and emotions of Pink Guard in Season 2." Park Kyu-young is also receiving a lot of favorable reviews for digesting the complex inner side of 'Noeul' with his own delicate acting skills. He "There's not a lot of fierce expression, but I think there's a huge emotion in it. It was a really meaningful character and world view to me because I could deeply immerse myself in that emotion,' he said, revealing the unique meaning of the character `Noeul' and the `Squid Game' Season 2 to him.
The unreleased still, which was released at the same time, catches the eye by capturing the colorful images of characters entangled in and out of 'Squid Game'. The sight of 'Gi-Hoon' being held up by Steele and Pink Guard holding Pink Guard's mask and screaming vividly shows his struggle to end the game of death. 'Frontman', who participated in the game disguised as 001 'Oh Young-il', adds to the sense of immersion by showing various aspects of navigating the game together on the side of 'Gi-Hoon' and adjusting the game to one's own will. Stills of characters struggling to survive in a brutal game in which elimination soon becomes death are also attracting attention. Amid the conflict of power caused by the game of risking one's life and OX voting, the multi-layered appearance of 'Myeonggi'(Temporary Wan), 'Daeho'(Kang Ha-neul), 'Hyun-ju'(Park Sung-hoon), 'Yongsik'(Yang Dong-geun), 'Geumja'(Kang Ae-sim), and 'Jungbae'(Lee Seo-hwan) conveys a sweaty tension in his hands. In addition, stills of 'Seonnyeo'(Chae Kook-hee), 'Min-su'(Lee Da-Wit), 'Nam-gyu'(Roh Jae-won), 'Jun-hee'(Cho Yuri), 'Tanos'(Cho Seung-hyun) and 'Semi'(Jonwon-an) draw attention by depicting fierce moments toward survival of people with different personalities and stories. Meanwhile, a still from 'Noeul', which surprised him by appearing as Pink Guard, makes him even more curious about his narrative of participating in the game as Pink Guard. Park Hee-soon, who appeared in a special appearance as "Captain", is a welcome and surprise to viewers.
It is also interesting to see characters with their own goals outside of 'Squid Game'. struggling to find the reality and brother of the game 'Inho' and his assistant 'Choi Woo-seok' (Jeon Seok-ho) work hard on every land and sea. In addition, the confrontation between the game's main recruitment book 'Bugnam'(Share) and 'Gihoon' in the first episode of Season 2 adds to the tension.
On the other hand, the video of 'The World in the Game' is attracting attention as it contains various games and production behind-the-scenes from 'Squid Game' Season 2.

The second game, '5 people, hexagonal five kinds of modern games', consists of slap-match, gravestone-chigi, air play, spinning top, and jegi-chagi. Art director Chae Kyung-sun explained that the concept of elementary school's sports day was the background before the name of elementary school appeared in the 70s and 80s in accordance with the cooperative group exhibition, rather than hurting each other, indicating that the game itself was upgraded.
The final game features a pair of 'matching games' to the song 'round round'. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk said "It's very simple and most spontaneous, hugging each other all of a sudden while singing." Depending on the number of people given, urgent situations where betrayal and cooperation intersect and cruel games will unfold.
