KOREA: According to Soompi, the highly anticipated Squid Game Season 2 has unveiled a captivating poster and main trailer.
The show’s focus is a dangerous survival game that offers a payout of 45.6 billion won ($34.5 million).
In Season 2, Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae), the previous game’s winner, foregoes plans to move to the U.S. to confront the sinister game that nearly claimed his life.
Violent deathmatches
The new poster, led by Gi Hun, showcases participants racing forward.
The bright, carnival-like game arena contrasts sharply with the lifeless, bloodied bodies of eliminated players, encapsulating the transformation of innocent childhood games into violent deathmatches.
The accompanying trailer introduces new contestants receiving game invitations, while Jun Ho (Wi Ha Joon) discovers one of these mysterious cards.
Gi Hun steps into a shadowy limousine, confronting the ominous Front Man (Lee Byung Hun). Declaring, “Put me back in the game,” Gi Hun reveals his determination to re-enter the deadly contest, sparking intrigue about his motivations as a past winner.
Twisted battle of survival
