Im Siwan is reported to have joined the Korean drama Squid Game Season 2. The actor will appear in the Netflix drama with Lee Jung Jae. On, Thursday June 15, 2023, Star News reported that Im Siwan had received an offer to become the main player in Squid Game Season 2.
Following this report, Netflix Korea spoke up and gave an official statement. "We ask for your understanding that at this time we are unable to confirm information regarding the casting of Squid Game Season 2," said a statement from Netflix Korea, which still kept the storyline and new Squid Game cast confidential.
A representative from Im Siwan's agency, PLUM A&C, also conveyed the same thing. "This is information that we cannot confirm. We ask for your understanding." The Korean drama Squid Game follows the story of a survival game with 45.6 billion won in prize money.
During its broadcast in 2021, the viral Squid Game became the spotlight in foreign countries, causing a new trend. Many have tried dalgona candy to wear survival game contestant costumes. Squid Game director and writer Hwang Dong Hyuk initially had no plans to work on a second season.
However, because of the many requests and the public interest that abounded, he finally developed a storyline. Moreover, the Korean drama Squid Game ends with an open ending. Survival game winner Seong Gi Hun (played by Lee Jung Jae) doesn't get on the plane to Los Angeles because he picks up a phone call from a mysterious person.
Last year, Hwang Dong Hyuk confirmed that Lee Jung Jae and Lee Byung Hun (Front Man aka supervisor of the survival game) would return to Squid Game Season 2 with the same roles. Filming for the Korean drama Squid Game Season 2 will begin after all the players have been determined.
The Korean drama, which was worked on with a production cost of up to 100 billion won, is scheduled to air on Netflix in 2024. Meanwhile, Im Siwan, who is reported to have joined as a new Squid Game Season 2 player, recently starred in the Korean drama Summer Strike and the film Unlocked. Furthermore, the 34-year-old actor will greet fans with his appearance in the film Road to Boston.
