The first season of Squid Game followed contestants chosen to participate in the titular games, a competition that features deadly versions of childhood games. "As we all saw at the end of season 1, the main plot of season 2 will be revenge," actor Lee Jung Jae tells All K-Pop. "The key figure who controlled the workings of the games in season 1 was Lee Byung-Hun...it seems that the two of us will be the central figures of this next story."
While season 1 was all about surviving the games, it appears that Squid Game season 2 could be all about bringing them down.
