Jeon Seok Ho's performance in Squid Game Season 2 is making fans feel all sorts of emotions, and it’s no surprise why.

Released on December 26, 2024, the second season of Squid Game has been taking the world by storm. In the early episodes, one character in particular has captured the audience’s attention—Choi Woo Seok, played by Jeon Seok Ho. His role is full of tension, but also has moments that pull at your heartstrings.

Jeon Seok Ho brings Choi Woo Seok to life—a man who, at the request of Seong Gi Hoon (Lee Jung Jae), tracks down Ddakji Nam (Gong Yoo), the recruiter for the deadly Squid Game. Alongside his loyal companion Kim Dae Po (Kim Beop Rae), they search for Ddakji Nam at subway stations every day, but it’s not long before they’re dragged into the fateful game.

In a truly heartbreaking moment, the two men face off in a Russian Roulette-style game. In a twist on Rock-Paper-Scissors, the loser has a gun aimed at their head. The tension of this moment makes the game feel even more intense and marks the cruel start of the Squid Game experience.

Choi Woo Seok survives this brutal challenge and, together with Hwang Jun Ho (Wi Ha Joon), goes on to uncover the secrets behind the Squid Game. While the situation is tragic, his survival gives fans a sense of hope and comfort. Jeon Seok Ho’s pure and gentle performance adds a layer of warmth to the intense drama, offering a bittersweet feeling of relief and stability.

As the drama progresses, Choi Woo Seok’s character continues to bring moments of hope, laughter, and strength, making him an essential and lovable ally. Viewers can’t help but root for him to survive and continue playing a key role in unraveling the truth behind the Squid Game.

Jeon Seok Ho has certainly made his mark on global audiences. Before Squid Game, he won hearts with his role as Jo Beom Pal in Kingdom, surviving a dangerous Joseon period filled with death and chaos. His ability to bring strength and gentleness to his characters makes him a fan favorite worldwide.

Looking ahead, Jeon Seok Ho will be back on screen in the first half of 2025 in the ENA drama Riding Life, so fans can look forward to more of his captivating performances!

He added, "I felt a little bad for him, but since Suk Ku is such a chill guy, he just came up to me and greeted me with, ‘Hyung!’ Then, he suddenly hugged me, saying, ‘When are you coming home?’ like we were real brothers.”

Despite their resemblance, Park Hae Soo admitted that they have never worked together on a project, adding, “To be honest, Suk Ku is actually closer to Lee Hee Joon and Kim Sung Kyun.”
