Actor Wi Ha Joon has revealed a surprising spoiler about the highly anticipated second season of Netflix's hit series "Squid Game."
In a video titled "[Sub] 'If I Say More, I’ll Be Fired' Wi Ha-joon Spills Spoilers Right Before Being Fired on 'Squid Game 2' | Sso Nuh EP07," uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Jjan Han-hyung Shin Dong-yeob,' Wi Ha-joon opened up about his global fan meeting and his experience with "Squid Game."
Wi Ha Joon shared his feelings about the global attention he received after the first season of "Squid Game," saying, “I saw a lot of international fans after Season 1, but I couldn’t travel due to COVID. I was the only main cast member who didn’t go to the U.S. I was busy with two projects back-to-back, so I missed out on award ceremonies and parties. I really regretted not being able to go.”
When asked if he’d be up for traveling abroad if Season 2 becomes a hit, he smiled and said, “I’d love to if a good opportunity comes up.”
Shin Dong-yeob also noted Wi Ha Joon’s social media follower boost after "Squid Game." He asked, “When did you first notice the huge impact of the show?”
Wi Ha Joon replied, “My followers grew rapidly, hitting 10 million. It was a huge spike thanks to 'Squid Game.' I saw increases of 100,000 to 200,000 followers daily. Jung Ho-yeon and I had the fastest follower growth that year. It was massive.”
Recalling his "Squid Game" audition, Wi Ha Joon said, “The role wasn’t confirmed yet. I thought I wouldn’t be cast. I went to the audition casually, wearing a hat and with acne on my face. I didn’t realize it was a real audition. There were a lot of cameras, and I was nervous. I memorized the script, performed comfortably, and it worked out. It taught me to always be prepared.”
Wi Ha Joon then dropped a spoiler about Season 2, revealing, “I’m not playing a major role. I just returned alive and show how things unfold. I’m just here to greet everyone again. There’s nothing earth-shattering from my side.”
He added, “The new actors have fascinating roles. The games are on a larger scale and even more exciting. The characters’ stories and the set designs have improved, so Season 2 is shaping up to be even better,” he said with a knowing smile.
When asked for more details, Wi Ha Joon joked, “If I say more, I’ll be fired,” and kept the rest of the plot under wraps.
Season 2 of "Squid Game," featuring Wi Ha Joon and other stars like Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Gong Yoo, and more, will hit Netflix on December 26. The new season will follow participants in a dangerous survival game with a prize of 45.6 billion won.
