Netflix’s “Squid Game” Season 2 has unveiled its second main poster and main trailer, drawing global attention once again. The new season portrays the fierce confrontation between “Gi-hun” (played by Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the game seeking revenge, and the “Front Man” (played by Lee Byung-hun), as the deadly game resumes.
The second main poster showcases “Gi-hun” at the forefront, leading participants running towards something, signaling the start of a new game. The game setting, reminiscent of a cheerful merry-go-round, starkly contrasts with the fallen, bloodied players, evoking the transformation of childhood games into brutal death games.
Gi-hun’s determined appearance in the poster hints at his resolve and determination to survive the upcoming game, piquing curiosity about how he will navigate the challenges. The image also highlights other notable characters like Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Lee Jin-wook, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-shim, and Jo Yu-ri, who are fighting desperately amidst fallen competitors.
The main trailer begins with new characters receiving game invitations marked with circles, triangles, and squares, and the character “Jun-ho” (played by Wi Ha-jun) discovering them. Gi-hun, boarding a mysterious limousine and hearing the Front Man’s voice again, insists on returning to the game he narrowly survived, raising questions about the impact of the previous winner’s return.
Tension rises among players participating in a vote on the continuity of the game, causing chaos and conflict. The contrasting ideologies between Gi-hun, who says, “I’m here to stop the game,” and the Front Man, who asserts, “The game won’t end unless the world changes,” heightens anticipation for their intense confrontation.
As the game progresses, the fortunes of the participants fluctuate, with the Front Man and the Pink Guards witnessing the ever-more brutal proceedings. The welcoming gesture to Gi-hun, “Welcome back to the game, number 456,” further arouses curiosity about the outcome of their rivalry.
“Squid Game” Season 2, which has excited global audiences with its new poster and trailer, will be available exclusively on Netflix starting December 26.
