The story of a foreign fan who met Jungkook, a member of the boy group BTS, quickly went viral on the internet.

On May 27th, a Thai BTS fan posted a story of Jungkook's sighting on her SNS.

Jungkook was seen that day at the Seoul Jazz Festival. Thai supporters were seated far away from the stage, listening to the music.

A man sitting behind her was humming along to a song from the stage at the time, but he sang so well that she turned her head and glanced at him.

Thai fans knew at a glance that it was BTS Jungkook. Still, she checked the location of Jungkook's lip piercing by asking the friend next to her. The friend also looked back and was convinced by the tattoo on Jungkook's hand.

The fan said that she waited for Jungkook to get up before approaching him for an autograph to avoid interfering with his enjoyment of the festival. She also shared a photograph of Jungkook signing her tablet PC.

Domestic online community users who read this narrative reacted that it was more like a movie encounter in which she appreciated the voice she heard from behind and glanced, but the reaction was how likely it was to be Jungkook from BTS.

Furthermore, community members expressed envy, saying, "It's cool that he gets to enjoy daily life freely, and the fan who waits without interruption is cool", "That fan is cool too. Thanks to her, Jungkook was able to enjoy it well", "'I heard a hum with a beautiful voice and came back I saw that it was Jungkook. It's like a movie'", "Jungkook is friendly" and etc.

Squid Game 2 has sparked intense reactions from viewers all around the world, with opinions swinging from high praise to harsh criticism. In the midst of all the buzz, director Hwang Dong Hyuk is confidently looking ahead to Season 3, even promising that it will be better than the second season.

In an interview with AP News on November 26, ahead of Squid Game 2’s release, Hwang Dong Hyuk shared his thoughts on the series’ future. The director admitted to feeling some pressure about discussing the third season but gave a sneak peek of what’s to come.

"It’s set in the future, 10 to 20 years from now", he revealed. "Season 3 will have a darker atmosphere, very brutal and sad, but also quite bizarre and humorous." Hwang boldly added, "Season 3 will be better than Season 2," fueling even more anticipation from fans.

While the director remains optimistic, Squid Game 2 has received mixed reviews from both domestic and international media. Major foreign outlets have voiced disappointment with the season.

The New York Times published an article titled "Squid Game Turns on the Red Light," criticizing the second season for being too similar to the first, claiming that it repeats the same elements without offering anything new.

Similarly, Hollywood Reporter slammed the season, saying, "The second season of Squid Game was a complete disappointment. It lacked the fun and ingenuity of the first season and didn't provide new details or insights into the essence of the game."

However, not all reviews were negative. Some international outlets gave praise to Squid Game 2. IGN highlighted the script’s exploration of economic and political systems, adding a layer of democracy that increases the tension of the game.

Meanwhile, Independence UK appreciated how the season expanded beyond the first, skillfully twisting key moments of the story and shining a light on humanity's worst traits.

Despite the criticism, Squid Game 2 continues to dominate the global scene. It quickly reached the top of the viewership charts in 92 countries, including the United States, France, and Mexico, just a day after its release. Fans are already buzzing about the upcoming third season, which is expected to drop in the first half of next year.

As for Squid Game 2 itself, the story picks up where the first season left off, with Gihun (played by Lee Jung Jae) returning to the game for revenge. His fierce confrontation with the Front Man (Lee Byung Hun) and the reintroduction of the deadly game itself create intense drama and suspense.

However, some viewers found the season lacking in momentum, particularly in the second half. Criticism has also been aimed at former BIGBANG member T.O.P., who plays the role of Thanos, a drug-dealer rapper. Many fans expressed their disappointment with his acting, with some even saying they stopped watching because of it.

Others criticized the show for its repetitive costume designs and character concepts, claiming that the female characters felt too similar to those from Season 1.

Despite these mixed reactions, Squid Game 2 remains a major cultural phenomenon, setting the stage for an even bigger Season 3. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see if Hwang Dong Hyuk’s promises come to life.
