Squid Game
The creator of Netflix’s Squid Game says the hit television series will be back for a second instalment. Gracious for the show’s global success, director Hwang Dong-hyuk said, “I almost feel like you leave us no choice. There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season,” he said at a celebration for the show.

“It’s in my head right now. I’m in the planning process currently. But I do think it’s too early to say when and how that’s going to happen. So I will promise you this, [Seong] Gi-hun will be back and he’ll do something for the world,” explained Hwang.
Netflix has not formally announced a second season. The series, starring Lee Jung-jae as Gi-hun and others in the ensemble cast, centres on people who are so desperate for money that they agree to take part in a series of schoolyard games with a deadly twist.

The dystopian survival drama from South Korea has brought global recognition for its stars. Model-turned-actor Jung Ho-yeon is used to travelling for the fashion world. But this time when she flew from Korea to Los Angeles, she met her first fan at the airport, an immigration officer who asked her for her autograph.
Actor Park Hae-soo, who plays Jo Sang-woo, said he “made the big decision” to start an Instagram account. “Now I want to communicate with the world.”
Jung-jae, who has been working in Korea for over 25 years, is being recognised on the streets of America. “I don’t know how to respond to all the love. It’s so great to be able to meet the fans who have loved and watched the show so much,” said Jung-jae.
