Squid Game follows Seong Gi-hun, a divorced gambler who enters a seemingly innocuous competition in order to pay off his debts and establish his ability to qualify for custody of his daughter. Gi-hun would be obliged to win and survive his fellow contestants while the mystery Front-Man maintains the game's regulations while amusing the immensely wealthy audience, all while the mysterious Front-Man entertains the incredibly wealthy spectators. While Hwang is presently working on Killing Old people Club, a film based on the writings of Italian philosopher and writer Eco, he is also looking forward to the upcoming season of the gripping survival thriller, revealing two familiar faces who will return to the covert, terrifying games.
Hwang and Squid Game star Park Hae-soo, who played player 218 and Gi-childhood hun's classmate Cho Sang-woo, disclosed insights about the second season during Deadline's Annual Contenders event, according to Deadline. Following his triumph and decision to return at the end of season one, Heang stated that Gi-hun would return in season two. The Front-Man would return after overseeing Gi-struggle, hun's as well as his cliffside confrontation with his brother and undercover cop Hwang Jun-ho, according to the creator.
