For all Squid Game fans, here is an exciting update. On Wednesday, the makers released the much-anticipated trailer for Season 2. Lee Jung-jae, who played the iconic role of Seong Gi-hun, aka Player 456 in Season 1, is set to return and face the deadly game once again. In the second part of the globally acclaimed Korean thriller, Lee Jung-jae's character is determined to end the Squid Game and save innocent lives.
