Park Gyu-young, Cho Yu-ri, and Kang Ae-sim were named in the casting lineup for the newly released 'Squid Game' season 2.
In addition, Lee David, Lee Jin-wook, and Choi Seung-hyun (TOP) appear and attract attention. After the movie 'Tazza: God's Hand' (directed by Kang Hyung-chul), which was released in 2014, T.O.P has continued his acting activities in front of the Korean public.
Meanwhile, T.O.P starred in Naver TV's web drama 'Secret Message' (2015). Then, he took on the role of Tom Young in the Chinese movie 'Out of Control' (director Axel Zand, 2016) and worked with Chinese actor Chang Baek-ji and actor Steve Windolph. However, it was not a domestic-based activity.
However, T.O.P, who has mentioned retiring from the entertainment industry twice, has now made it official that he has “reversed his retirement.”
T.O.P was accused of smoking marijuana at home in 2016, and was criticized by fans and the public for causing controversy while serving in the military in 2017. Later, in 2019, when a netizen left a comment on social media saying "don't come back", TOP became a hot topic when he emotionally responded, "Yes! God!
In February 2020, through a live broadcast, he actually announced his retirement, saying, "I'm making music these days," but "I'm always sorry to the fans. I won't be making a comeback in Korea. I don't want to make a comeback at all."
In addition, Noh Jae-won and Won Jian were also included in the 'Squid Game' Season 2 lineup.
On the other hand, the main characters of 'Squid Game' Season 2, which are already raising fans' expectations by delivering new casting news, gathered together for the first time at the script reading site held on the 23rd.
On this day, director Hwang Dong-hyuk and other main production and cast members gathered together to begin the full-fledged journey of season 2.
Season 2 of 'Squid Game' is scheduled to start filming in the second half of this year.
