00:00If Watching a Game 2 isn't fun,
00:02there's nothing fun in this world.
00:04That's what I want to say.
00:06If this isn't fun, you're just depressed.
00:09Hi, InStyle.
00:11We are the cast of Squid Game.
00:14Season 2.
00:16Today, we'll be opening some fan mail.
00:19Let's get started.
00:24Speaking of which,
00:26I'm so glad to see Sung Ki Hoon's hairstyle in Season 2.
00:30Someone told me that I look too sexy with my hair back.
00:33I'm glad you didn't dye your hair red, right?
00:37I thought it would've been better
00:39if I dyed my hair red for the entire season.
00:42That means you kept dying your hair.
00:45I thought you cared too much about your hair.
00:48When I was young,
00:50I was jealous of people dying their hair purple.
00:54At my friends' house,
00:56they'd say, you're blue, I'm yellow,
00:59and I'm purple.
01:01The three of us would sit side by side
01:05and dye each other's hair.
01:07How old were you?
01:08I think I was 21.
01:10You weren't that young.
01:12I'm so excited to see all the new characters in Squid Game 2.
01:18I have nothing else to say but to look forward to it.
01:21Wasn't that a question?
01:22Are you looking forward to it?
01:24I thought a lot about making Season 2,
01:26but I had to make everything new.
01:28But I found one hope.
01:30There's Jung-bae.
01:34There's Jung-bae who went to the racecourse with Ki-hoon.
01:37I wanted to include someone from Season 1
01:41in the game.
01:43I'm so grateful that there's Jung-bae.
01:48I wrote down Ki-hoon's friend, Jung-bae,
01:52as a very important character in Season 2.
01:55I should've done my best in Season 1.
01:58I think I liked it more because you didn't do your best.
02:02The clumsy acting of Ki-hoon
02:05made you look like a bad guy.
02:08My friends who saw it for the first time said,
02:10you should try acting somewhere else.
02:13Why did you leave like that?
02:15You should try harder.
02:17Oh, my God.
02:18Jo Yu-ri has become a top star in Korea.
02:20I can't believe she's on the list
02:22with Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun.
02:24Those two actors are the legends of Korean movies.
02:27It's so cool and great.
02:31Congratulations.
02:33It's an honor for me, too.
02:36Not only Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun,
02:39but also Lim Si-wan, Kang Hye-shin,
02:42and Lee Ang-dong.
02:44It was an honor to work with them.
02:47Can you send Ddakji-nam to my house?
02:50Hahaha.
02:53I think he's suffering from financial difficulties, too.
02:58No, I'm not.
03:00I want to eat ramen with Gong Yoo.
03:01Oh, a female fan.
03:03I told you to send him to my house.
03:05Oh, I see.
03:06I guess he's a female fan.
03:08I told you to send him to my house.
03:09It's nothing special.
03:10When we were young,
03:11there was something like a red tissue paper
03:13or a blue tissue paper, right?
03:15The ghost asked in the bathroom.
03:19I got my hands on it.
03:20There's a funny horror story.
03:23I just put a red and blue tissue paper on it.
03:27People think it's a matrix of red and blue.
03:34They have a lot of different ideas.
03:36Why do I feel like Director Hwang is going to appear
03:40in a cameo in season 2 or 3?
03:44I've appeared in a cameo before.
03:47It's not here, it's a game show.
03:50I'm in a reality game show.
03:55I'll be a cameo in season 3 for a while.
03:58Oh, really?
03:59When season 3 is released,
04:01look for me and see where I'll be.
04:04Lim Si-wan and Jo Yu-ri are in a squid game as a couple.
04:08One of them will see the other person's death.
04:11Oh, my God.
04:12What's this?
04:12Really?
04:14What's this?
04:15Is that really going to happen?
04:16Is that really going to happen?
04:18I really want to know about Hyun-joo's character.
04:21I'm very curious.
04:23Right?
04:24I've never seen a transgender character
04:28in a Korean series or anywhere else.
04:31I haven't seen it either.
04:33I'm sure that many fans around the world
04:37will support and love this character.
04:40Hyun-joo's character is really...
04:43I'll just say one thing.
04:46It's cool.
04:47I'll just say one thing, too.
04:49It's amazing.
04:50Hyun-joo is my meerkat.
04:54You know, the first time you see each other on set.
04:57When you first meet your partner,
05:01you're doing this,
05:02but it's so funny that it's a meerkat.
05:04I want Lim Si-wan to kill someone in Squid Game 2
05:08and find the order of the universe.
05:12Can you find the order of the universe if you kill someone?
05:14It's good that the universe finds the order of the universe,
05:21but I think I have to kill someone in Squid Game 2
05:24to find the order of the universe.
05:27Lim Si-wan is a pacifist.
05:31I'm sure he wants the universe to find the order of the universe peacefully.
05:34Lim Si-wan is the order itself,
05:38so he doesn't have to kill someone to get the order.
05:40He is the order.
05:42Yes.
05:44I really respect you, director of Squid Game.
05:46Storytelling, the development of characters,
05:48all the scenes, dramatic moments,
05:50and the hidden Easter eggs here and there.
05:54I think season 2 will be a hit
05:56and it will lead to more questions.
05:58Some of them will be answered,
06:00but all of them will end with a great ending
06:07with a great story.
06:10I'm really looking forward to it.
06:13You've given me a lot of compliments.
06:16You've seen season 2.
06:18I think it's going to be a hit.
06:20I think it's a compliment for season 1.
06:23So, of course, season 2 will be a hit,
06:26and season 3 will be the most amazing.
06:28I think you expressed this expectation.
06:31When it's released, it's going to be at least six months.
06:34It's going to be a series that has the highest viewing rate on Netflix.
06:39That's right.
06:41When I first saw the script for season 2,
06:44and while we were filming,
06:46I had faith that it would be better than season 1.
06:50That's right.
06:51I think that's what everyone is guessing.
06:54This is what I always say these days.
06:58If Squid Game 2 is not fun,
07:00there's nothing fun in this world.
07:06If this isn't fun, you're just depressed.
07:10How many games are there in season 2?
07:12Season 2?
07:14Can I tell you all this?
07:16Oh!
07:17Might be spoiler though.
07:18It's not fun to tell you how many there are here, right?
07:21If you come out, just play Binge Watching at once.
07:26I think you can find the answer.
07:27I hope Kim Joon-hee survives and wins the Squid Game.
07:30He'll probably die at the end.
07:32Huh?
07:33Why are you so sure?
07:35I don't know.
07:37He'll probably die at the end.
07:39You're very quick-witted.
07:41Yuri will die at the end,
07:43but why do you think she'll die?
07:45I'll give you the answer to that.
07:46I think this fan is a fan of Jo Yuri.
07:50In the Squid Game, Jo Yuri's character is...
07:54She's pregnant?
07:55Was this revealed?
07:56Then I'm sorry, but I'm definitely going to die.
08:00Why? Why is it a must?
08:02No, no, no.
08:03That's why I'm saying this.
08:05So you're going to be a mom, right?
08:06Mom is strong.
08:07That's right.
08:08Mom is strong no matter what.
08:09She'll try to live for her child.
08:12She'll have that energy.
08:13Baby, come on.
08:16Please, don't kill Lee Myung-gi.
08:19Help me survive.
08:24If there's a situation where you have to compete,
08:26I'll die first for this fan.
08:33Hello, fans. Thank you for staying with us.
08:35Please show a lot of love for Squid Game Season 2.
