Lee Jung Jae of 'Squid Game' returns as a frontman.
Netflix announced on June 13th that it had officially confirmed the production of season 2 of 'Squid Game'.
Netflix also released a message written by director Hwang Dong Hyuk. Director Hwang wrote in the message, “The frontman Gi Hun is back.” “The man in a suit with a ticket may come back, and he will also be able to meet Young Hee’s boyfriend, Cheol Su.”
He continued, “I will see you again with a newer game and an amazing story.”
'Frontman' is the game host of the game played by actor Lee Byung Hun in season 1. It is significant that Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae), the final winner of the season 1 game, becomes the frontman.
Actor Gong Yoo plays Gong Yoo as an unknown person who recommends participation in the 'Squid Game' to citizens in a swamp of despair. Young Hee is a giant sculpture that is a symbol of the ‘squid game’.
Director Hwang expressed his gratitude to the viewers, saying, "It took 12 years for season 1 to be released to the world, but it took only 12 days for 'Squid Game' to become the most popular Netflix series in history."
Kim Jae Joong surprises fans with funny and sweet first kiss story: “My first kiss had to be approved by them”
Kim Jae Joong made fans laugh and smile with a surprising story about his childhood and his very first kiss!
On the April 29 episode of SBS's Dolsing Fourmen, Kim Jae Joong appeared as a guest alongside Gwedo and Ham Soo Hyun. He opened up about his big family and shared some heartwarming—and hilarious—memories.
“I’m the youngest of nine siblings,” he said. “I have eight older sisters.” The hosts were shocked when he added, “One of my nieces is pregnant, so I’m about to become a grandfather!” His playful comment made everyone burst into laughter.
When asked if having so many sisters made dating or marriage harder, Jae Joong said, “I won’t introduce my family until right before the wedding. I think it’s too risky. Even my sisters and other relatives will meet her for the first time at the wedding.” His honesty and humor had everyone cracking up.
Kim Jun Ho then asked, “Is it true that your sisters even managed your kisses?” Jae Joong shared a cute memory from elementary school. “I had a bold friend who walked with me to my house. We kissed in front of my gate, and I thought, ‘So this is what a kiss feels like.’ But later, I found out my sister had approved it. She had told me, ‘You can do it.’ My sisters were watching everything.”
Tak Jae Hoon joked, “That sounds like how someone would stop you from petting a puppy.” Jae Joong laughed and added, “Even if I fall in love, I don’t want that person getting too close to my sisters too fast. I don’t want it to feel like she’s already part of the family before we’re ready.”
Gwedo added, “Honestly, that kind of thinking might be good for your future wife.”
When asked if becoming a top idol changed things in the family, Kim Jae Joong said, “I used to feel like the leader, even though I was the youngest. But when I got older, I realized I can’t take care of everything with money alone. My sisters give their time and effort, and together, it means more.”
He also said that his sisters don’t really talk about money issues. “They’re so quiet about it, it’s frustrating,” he joked. “I wish they’d say more so I could at least hear the rumors! But they just quietly notice when one of them is struggling. I just want to be remembered as a thankful little brother.”
Fans were touched by how much Kim Jae Joong loves his family—and how even his first kiss had to go through a “sister approval system”.
