Lee Byung Hun's Role as In Ho

In the highly anticipated return of ‘Squid Game,’ Lee Byung Hun steps into the spotlight as In Ho, also known as the mysterious Frontman. Following his brief yet memorable appearance in the first season, Lee's character now takes on a pivotal role, overseeing the deadly games after the shocking demise of Oh Il Nam. With a watchful eye, he monitors contestants, particularly focusing on the returning Seong Gi Hun, portrayed by Lee Jung Jae, who is out for revenge in this new chapter of challenges.

Lee's Reflections on Success

Reflecting on the monumental success of ‘Squid Game’ season 2, Lee expressed gratitude for the hard work of everyone involved. 'So many people dedicated themselves to this project, and it’s incredibly rewarding to witness the positive reactions from fans around the world. It’s truly an honor to be part of something that resonates on such a global scale,' he shared.

The Rise of Korean Content

Lee's journey has been remarkable, especially given the recognition Asian artists are receiving in the entertainment industry. 'Even during my work on English-speaking projects in Hollywood, I never experienced this level of overwhelming support. Now, with a Korean project, people everywhere are engaging with it. It feels ironic yet incredibly moving. There was a time when someone greeting me in Korean abroad was unique; now, it has become a regular occurrence. This is a testament to the rising influence of Korean content, and I feel immense pride to contribute to this movement.'

Global Impact of ‘Squid Game’

While Lee has been a celebrated figure in South Korea for years, the staggering global viewership numbers on Netflix elevate the significance of his role in ‘Squid Game.’ 'This is a first for me,' he admitted. 'When I started in Hollywood, I didn’t fully understand the potential of the industry. With the success of season 1, I was more of an observer. Now, being a central character in the story and hearing discussions about Frontman feels surreal. The full impact of this phenomenon is still unfolding, and it’s both exciting and humbling.'

What to Expect from Season 2

In this thrilling sequel, audiences can expect an intense showdown between Gi Hun and the Frontman, while the chilling games make their return. As the series continues to draw viewers from around the globe, ‘Squid Game’ season 2 is now available for streaming on Netflix, promising to captivate and shock audiences once again.
