Actor Im Si Wan has officially apologized for his character's actions in Squid Game 2, leaving fans talking about his heartfelt message.

On January 6th, Netflix’s official YouTube channel posted a video where Im Si Wan opens up about his controversial role as Myung Gi in the hit series.

In Squid Game 2, Im Si Wan’s character, Myung Gi, plays a former lover to Jo Yu Ri’s character, Jun Hee. The two reunite after they both participate in the deadly game for the 456 billion won prize.

But things take a dark turn when Myung Gi reacts coldly to the news that Jun Hee is pregnant, saying, "How can we raise a child now? We don't even have money." His harsh words shocked viewers and left Im Si Wan questioning if his character could ever be forgiven.

Im Si Wan explained, "Before I introduce the character of Myung Gi, I think I should apologize. First of all, I apologize. Myung Gi was a cryptocurrency YouTuber who, despite being scammed, caused a lot of damage to others and became a fugitive. He participates in the game and ends up ghosting Jun Hee. He’s not a bad person, but his lack of wisdom leads him to make terrible decisions."

One of the most shocking moments in the drama is when Myung Gi abandons Yeong Mi after she loses her grip during the game.

Reflecting on the moment, Im Si Wan said, "Can Myung Gi be forgiven here? He has crossed a river he can't return from." He expressed regret, saying that Myung Gi’s actions were driven by the need for survival, but it still left a bad impression on viewers.

Despite his character’s actions, Im Si Wan also tried to explain Myung Gi’s choices, saying, "I thought Yeong Mi couldn't have survived. Everyone in the room could have died. Thanks to my quick thinking, everyone, including Jun Hee, was able to survive. But then they blame me for Yeong Mi’s death, and I felt an explosion of injustice. I don’t think people will sympathize with him, though," which gave fans a mix of laughter and empathy.

Jo Yu Ri, who starred alongside Im Si Wan in the drama, also recalled a funny behind-the-scenes moment, saying, "Oppa was running so fast while holding me. I could barely keep up, and I was running in a trance. He was like a hornet uncle—so fast! That’s why it fit the situation so well."

Im Si Wan’s honest reflections on his role have made fans think deeply about his character and the moral dilemmas presented in Squid Game 2. The actor’s apology has left viewers wondering: Can Myung Gi ever be forgiven?
