io9 was granted access to a press day for Squid Game season 2, where they interviewed some of the new cast members. The upcoming season features a larger number of younger players, highlighting the financial struggles of various generations. The article focuses on Lee Myung-gi (Player 333), played by Yim Si-wan, a former crypto king facing his past mistakes in the game. It also delves into the complex relationship between Myung-gi and his ex-girlfriend, Kim Jun-hee (Player 222), portrayed by Jo Yu-ri.
Press day, io9 was part of a group of journalists who got to meet some of the new competitors, with a translator assisting on the interviews. One thing about season two that viewers will notice is there’s a greater array of younger players this time around. They may be in their 20s, but that’s still plenty of time for them to make mistakes big enough to lure them into the Squid Game .

So he didn’t take the responsibility. And so I think that Myung-gi was trying to rationalize or justify what he did.” One of Myung-gi’s instant enemies is Kim Jun-hee, Player 222, played by Jo Yu-ri. Their situation is made even more awkward by the fact that she’s his ex-girlfriend, and there’s some serious unfinished business between them, even beyond the crypto disaster. Though their characters have drama to spare, both Yim and Jo had upbeat things to say about being part of “Squid Game” For me as a beginning actress, I took this as a valuable experience,” Jo said. “And to work with such a highly respected , and actors and actresses that I always admired—as a person who is new to the industry, I took this as a very grateful experience.”dealing with such a big ensemble cast—I think he didn’t lose control.
