Still from Squid Game
Squid Game became a phenomenon last year when it was announced that it is the most-watched Netflix series of all time. The survival horror show about 456 people who play a series of lethal children's games in order to escape deep financial debts gave people creeps thanks to the giant doll Young-hee. The hugely popular South Korean drama series is now returning with its second season. As Netflix’s announced Squid Game season 2, it teased Song Gi-hun aka player no 456, played by Lee Jung-jae, and The Front Man, a mysterious character essayed by Lee Byung-hun, will reprise their roles. Also, there were hints at the return of Gong Yoo, who played the unnamed character of a man in the suit with 'ddakji'.
But the most surprising thing was when netizens found out that they might meet Young-hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su. Yes, the creepy doll responsible for the red-green light game apparently has a boyfriend. The netizens are both amazed and creeped by the fact. In fact, many are feeling hopelessly single to hear this. Here's how they are reacting:
