Squid Game 2 cast announcement: The Glory famed Park Sung-Hoon joins the deadly game

Park Sung-Hoon has joined the deadly TV game, Squid Game. The actor, best known for his role in My Only One and The Glory, is a part of the second season. The Netflix show, Squid Game, had become a phenomenon when it released and now, the makers are back with a new season.

Park Sung-Hoon had won the Best New Actor award for My Only One at KBS Drama Awards held in 2018. In 2023, the actor was nominated for Korea’s highest awards night, the Baeksang Arts Awards, as Best Supporting actor – Television, for his role in The Glory. Apart from My Only One and The Glory Park Sung-Hoon is also known for the miniseries, Memorials. He won two awards at KBS in 2020, one an excellence award, actor in miniseries and the other, for Best Couple with Nana (Im Jin-ah).

Not just Park Sung-Hoon, When the Camellia Blooms actor Kang Ha-Neul, Yim Si-Wan of Hell Is Other People fame and The Forbidden Marriage famed Yang Dong-Geun have also joined the show. They are the new players this time. Of course, there will be more players, who will be introduced once the show streams.

Some of the cast members from the first season return this time too. The lead, Lee Jung-Jae, is back as Seong Gi-Hun. Gong Yoo, who assigned the game to Seong in the first place, is, obviously, coming back too. This was hinted at, in the last scene of the first season.

Wi Ha-Jun, who was the mysterious character in the last season, returns as Hwang Jun-Ho. Lee Byung-Hun is back as Front Man in this season too.

Since we already saw what happens in the game the last season, the only big question which remains this time is – will the tasks be the same as the last season? How will the players play the game this time, is also a question that many want answered.

The show’s release date is yet to be announced. It is expected to be released by mid-2024, if not the end of this year.
