Squid Game season 2 premiere date: Some surprising reflections
There is no denying that this show has radically changed everything when it comes to one of its stars in Lee Jung-jae. After all, he was just cast in a Star Wars project! It is clear that he has benefited from the show more than almost anyone and yet, even he is able to acknowledge just how bittersweet much of it is given the show’s overall message.

In a new interview with The Guardian, the Emmy winning actor does his part to describe the feeling that he gets from both the show’s runaway-hit status, and then also its overall performance:
“Yes, it’s great that audiences are consuming Korean content around the world. And they appreciate it. But if you think about the themes of ‘Squid Game’ – how far are we willing to go to accumulate personal wealth, the lengths people are forced to go to – the fact it resonated with so many around the world is worrying … You get a sense this is the reality for so many people globally. And that makes me feel hugely sad.”
At the end of the day, this reality is something that the show will hopefully keep tapping into as we move into the second season. We know that there’s going to be a bigger budget and with that, potential pressure to make the games bigger and crazier. Yet, amidst all of this you can’t lose sight on the actual message or the characters. They are the lifeblood that makes a story like this work.
