Hwang Dong-Hyuk also provided a little spoiler, revealing that Young-hee’s boyfriend will feature as one of the new characters in the second season of the Netflix series that took the world by storm.
“You’ll also be introduced to Young-hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su,” the director wrote.
In the season two teaser trailer, which was released eight months ago, the audience is left curious as player 456, Seong Gi-hun, receives a phone call that appears to invite him to participate in the game as he prepares to board a plane.
Season one revolved around a contest in which 456 players, all of whom were in serious financial trouble, risked their lives to play a series of lethal children’s games for the chance to win $45.6 billion (Ksh4.2 billion) prize.
