Gong Yoo still plays the character of a salesman in the series " Squid Game 2 ". He is in charge of recruiting participants to be willing to play in the game. Although the role is relatively small, in this season 2, Gong Yoo's character has evolved.
Director Hwang Dong Hyuk even admitted to having goosebumps when he saw the actor's stunning acting. When asked to choose to spend 24 hours with the salesman character played by Gong Yoo or the Front Man played by Lee Byung Hun, Dong Hyuk firmly chose the latter.
He also revealed the reason why he was reluctant to choose Gong Yoo's character. As mentioned earlier, Dong Hyuk gets goosebumps every time he sees Gong Yoo acting as a salesman. He can't imagine how it would feel to spend a day with a psychopathic salesman.
"As you saw in the first episode (of season 2), Salesman is a really crazy person. I think if I spent 24 hours with him, it would be very unpredictable," said Dong Hyuk. Unlike Front Man, Dong Hyuk actually feels safer with Byung Hun's character. "At least with Front Man, he graduated from the police academy and he's relatively normal, I think.
I feel safer with Front Man," he added. Unlike Dong Hyuk, Byung Hun is different. Lee Min Jung's husband actually admitted that he prefers Gong Yoo's role over the character he plays himself. Of course, Byung Hun also has his own reasons.
"As the director said, if you think about Salesman in Season 2, that might be a better answer. But if you think about it, if you spend 24 hours, I think I can stand being slapped for 24 hours. But with Front Man, you might get shot right away.
So that's why I chose Salesman," Byung Hun explained. Agreeing with Byung Hung, Lee Jung Jae, who is the main character in this series, also prefers the Salesman character over the Front Man. "I choose the Salesman. The Front Man is only in a closed room on the island.
He can't even order pizza if he wants to," explained Jung Jae. While many other players prefer to spend 24 hours with the Front Man character because the figure has everything. They say at least they can still enjoy many luxuries, even though they will eventually be shot.
