There has been quite a bit of news around the cast of Squid Game of late.
Previously, Netflix shared that four new actors will be in the series. They are Kang Ha-neul, Im Si-wan, Park Sung-hoon and Yang Dong-geun.
These cast members were announced at Netflix’s fan event Tudum last month, held in São Paulo, Brazil.
Today (29 Jun), the streaming giant released a press statement, unveiling the final line-up of the cast for Squid Game 2.
The upcoming season of the well-loved series will see two idols — namely BIGBANG’s Choi Seung-hyun, or T.O.P, as he’s more widely known. And former IZ*ONE member Jo Yu-ri, who’s now a soloist, will also be a part of the series.
