Among the confirmed returning characters are Lee Jung-jae’s Gi-hun and the Front Man. The most exciting bit of the announcement is a hint that Gong Yoo’s mysterious, Ddakji-playing character will also make a comeback. 

Squid Game ended on quite a gritty note with a majority of its characters failing to survive the deadly games. While the body count was high, Gi-hun’s return is inevitable. In the final moments of the show, we see him with his hair dyed red, set to visit his daughter in the U.S. only to turn back. 

The first season of Squid Game featured Park Hae-soo, Hung Ho-Yeon, Wi Ha-joon among others. The series broke viewership records and went on to bag several awards.
