Fans of Squid Game were left disappointed as Season 2 failed to bring home an award at the 82nd Golden Globes. Despite the hype, the Netflix hit walked away empty-handed for the second time after missing out on the same award with Season 1 in 2022.

The Golden Globes ceremony took place on January 5 in Los Angeles (January 6 in Korea), where Squid Game 2 was nominated for Best Television Series – Drama.

The show faced tough competition from major titles like Shogun, which had swept 18 Emmy Awards last year, Netflix’s The Diplomat, Apple TV+’s Slow Horses, Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Peacock’s The Day of the Jackal.

Ultimately, the award went to Shogun, leaving Squid Game 2 without a win. Both Lee Jung Jae, the series' lead actor, and director Hwang Dong Hyuk attended the event but returned without trophies.

Even before its release, Squid Game 2 created a buzz by earning the Golden Globe nomination. Director Hwang Dong Hyuk shared his gratitude at the time, saying:

"I’m so thankful that an unreleased work has been nominated for such a prestigious award. We worked hard to ensure fans of Season 1 won’t be disappointed. Season 2 keeps the same social message as the first, and I hope viewers will reflect on its connection to today’s world."

Released on December 26, Squid Game 2 instantly became a global sensation. In its first week, the show recorded an incredible 500 million hours of viewership worldwide, topping Netflix charts.

While Season 2 couldn’t secure a Golden Globe, Season 1 made history in 2022. It was nominated for three awards: Best Television Series – Drama, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor, with Oh Young Soo winning Best Supporting Actor.

Season 2 follows the intense battle between Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) and the Frontman (Lee Byung Hun), digging deeper into the mysterious games. Fans can already look forward to Squid Game Season 3, expected to drop in the first half of this year!

Actress Yoon Eun Hye has finally opened up about the long-standing feud rumors and bullying claims surrounding her former group, Baby Vox. In an emotional moment, she addressed the tension and cleared the air, showing a heartfelt side to her story.

Yoon Eun Hye recently uploaded a video titled "Baby Vox Complete Stage. A Graceful Behind-the-Scenes of the 2024 KBS Gayo Daejeje" on her YouTube channel, where she and the other members—Lee Hee Jin, Kan Mi Yeon, Kim E Ji, and Shim Eun Jin—gathered with their fans at the 2024 KBS Gayo Daejeje.

During the video, Yoon Eun Hye couldn’t hold back her emotions as she teared up and said, "Actually, there was no bad relationship between the members, but every time unintended titles were attached to us, it felt heavy on my heart, and I felt sorry to the older members."

She continued, opening up about the intense practice sessions that brought the members closer. "Through this opportunity, we practiced until 4 AM every day. It wasn’t because we forgot the dance, but because we truly wanted to show a perfect stage," she explained.

Yoon Eun Hye also shared how the bonding moments during rehearsals helped them rediscover old memories and strengthen their relationships. "While practicing, our bond grew stronger, and many old memories resurfaced. And as we grew older, relationships were formed amid the changes in each of us. I spent a very grateful three weeks," she reflected.

Showing her love and appreciation for the members, she expressed, "In the future, if we have another opportunity, I would like to show a good side. It’s really a thankful thing and a great strength to know that there are fans who support us no matter what appearance we have."

Baby Vox, who debuted in 1997 with their album "The Day We Get Our Hair Done", became a popular group in the late '90s and early 2000s. Yoon Eun Hye joined the group in 1999 and was a member until their disbandment in 2006.

Despite their success, rumors of feuds and claims of Yoon Eun Hye being bullied had circulated for years, leaving many fans concerned about the group's dynamics.

However, with this heartfelt confession, Yoon Eun Hye has set the record straight, showing that love and understanding were always at the heart of Baby Vox's journey.
