Netflix’s global sensation Squid Game kicks off October with an electrifying teaser for its much-anticipated second season, and fans are buzzing about the return of a key character. On October 1, Netflix dropped the teaser, revealing that Korean drama star Gong Yoo will reprise his mysterious role as the recruiter in Squid Game Season 2.

The teaser opens with a seemingly normal morning routine: a man is seen in his apartment sipping coffee, showering, and selecting his suit for the day. But as he begins preparing his briefcase, the suspense builds, revealing the man to be none other than Gong Yoo’s character from the first season. Inside his briefcase are the familiar red and blue ddakji, the same paper game pieces used to lure contestants into the deadly competition.

Fans of the series will remember the intense ddakji game that Gong Yoo’s character played with Player 456, Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), in the show’s opening season. The teaser hints that this recruiter is back to his old ways, packing stacks of cash and his infamous calling cards alongside the ddakji in preparation for another round of recruitment.

As the teaser progresses, Gong Yoo is seen arriving at a train station, a familiar setting where he initiates his interactions with unsuspecting players. At exactly 5:00 PM, he addresses the camera directly and delivers his chilling line: “Sir, would you like to play a game with me?”

Squid Game Season 2 is set to premiere on December 26, three years after the first season took the world by storm in 2021. In addition to Gong Yoo’s return, fans can expect the return of major characters, including Lee Byung-hun as the Front Man and Wi Ha-jun as Hwang Jun-ho. The new season also introduces fresh faces to the game, with Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Sung-hoon, and Yang Dong-geun joining the cast. Gong Yoo’s recruiter character, though still shrouded in mystery, is expected to play a significant role in the upcoming season.
