• Wi Ha Joon Drops Big Hint About 'Squid Game 2' : "I'm Not a Major Character, Just Glad to Be Back"

    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.

  • YouTuber Reveals the Truth on Cha Eun Woo Being Accused of Skipping Kim Sae Ron’s Funeral

    While Garosero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) continues to make shocking claims about Kim Soo Hyun, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho has stepped up to clear Cha Eun Woo’s name.

    On April 3, Lee Jin Ho uploaded a video titled "After Kim Soo Hyun, is Cha Eun Woo next? Fact-checking Gaseyeon’s false claims" on his YouTube channel Entertainment President Lee Jin Ho.

    Lee Jin Ho strongly denied Gaseyeon’s claim that Cha Eun Woo didn’t attend Kim Sae Ron’s funeral, saying, This proves once again that they don’t even check basic facts.”

    He added, “Cha Eun Woo was definitely at the funeral. He was there from the first evening until late at night. Multiple people saw him, greeted him, and even sat with him at the table.”

    The rumor started on March 31, when Kim Se Ui, a member of Gaseyeon, made a cryptic statement during a live broadcast, saying, “Cha Eun Woo, Cha Eun Woo’s manager, you will face divine punishment.” This immediately sparked speculation.

    Cha Eun Woo and Kim Sae Ron were known to be close, especially when she was under Fantagio. They worked together on the web drama To Be Continued and co-hosted Show! Music Core. Fans were surprised when rumors spread that Cha Eun Woo didn’t attend her funeral, but Lee Jin Ho’s statement has now set the record straight.

    Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family has taken legal action against Lee Jin Ho, filing a defamation lawsuit on March 17 under the Information and Communications Network Act. Ten days later, they also sued him under the anti-stalking law, accusing him of exposing private details about Kim Sae Ron and her family.
