Actor Jeon Seok Ho, who has been stealing hearts worldwide with Netflix's Squid Game 2, is making waves for his younger self, thanks to some throwback photos.

On January 2, Jeon Seok Ho shared a video on his Instagram story, regramming a post filled with snapshots of his youthful charm.

Fans were quick to notice how striking he looked in his 20s, comparing him to his co-star Lee Jun Hyuk.

Jeon Seok Ho may have debuted in 2000 with a small role in If You Work at It, but it wasn’t until his role as Assistant Manager Ha in Misaeng (2014) that he caught the public’s attention.

Since then, he’s built an impressive career as a skilled supporting actor in hits like Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017), Kingdom (2021), and Jirisan (2021).

Now, he’s captivating audiences once again in Squid Game 2. Jeon plays Choi Woo Seok, an investigator tasked with hunting down the mysterious recruiter (played by Gong Yoo) after a desperate plea from Seong Gi Hun (played by Lee Jung Jae).

Choi, along with his close partner Kim Representative (played by Kim Beop Rae), spends countless hours searching subway stations for clues.

When they finally confront the recruiter, their journey takes a dark turn as they’re forced into a twisted "warm-up game" before the main Squid Game begins.

This intense game, a deadly twist on Rock-Paper-Scissors, adds a chilling layer of tension, with Choi Woo Seok and Kim Representative battling it out in a tearful showdown. It’s a heart-stopping moment that sets the tone for the brutal events to follow.

Jeon Seok Ho’s gripping performance in Squid Game 2 has solidified his status as a fan favorite, following his standout role in The Outlaws 3. And with fans now raving about his younger days, it seems his charm is truly timeless!

Kim Soo Hyun’s downfall is happening fast, and it’s not just in Korea.

Following his controversy, international businesses are cutting ties without hesitation. Videos of employees removing his standees and posters are going viral online.

One clip shows staff taking down a Kim Soo Hyun-themed photo booth, while another captures a hospital worker in Thailand tossing his life-sized standee into the trash.

The backlash stems from allegations that Kim Soo Hyun was romantically involved with the late Kim Sae Ron since she was a minor and ignored her financial struggles.

Given his immense global popularity through My Love from the Star and Queen of Tears, international fans are deeply disappointed, with some even calling for his retirement from the industry.

In Korea, brands that once proudly endorsed him are now in crisis mode.

Outdoor ads featuring him have been removed, and luxury brand Prada announced, “Considering the gravity of the issue, we have decided to terminate our contract.”

Even cosmetics brand Dinto, which initially said they would "wait and see," has now confirmed they are officially canceling his contract through legal measures.

With his career on pause, his segments in the MBC variety show Good Day are also set to be completely edited out. All eyes are now on what Kim Soo Hyun’s next move will be.
