A video of TV personality Yuya Tegoshi interviewing the cast of the hit Korean drama "Squid Game" season 3 has been released. Tegoshi is a big fan of the show, so he was appointed as the "Squid Game" ambassador, and interviewed the four cast members online from Japan: Lee Jung-jae, who plays Ki-hoon, Lee Byung-hun, who plays the frontman, Im Si-wan, who plays Myung-gi, and Jo Yu-ri, a former member of IZ*ONE, who plays Juni.
In the interview, lead actor Jeongjae talked about Ki-hoon's feelings when taking on the final game of season 3, and the games that were difficult to film throughout all seasons. Yuri also talked about her thoughts on her first ever birth scene, and Siwan spoke about the difficulties of playing the character Myung-gi and the choices he made in the series (some spoilers included).
"Squid Game" is a popular Korean drama series whose first season was released in 2021 and second season in 2024. Season 2 topped Netflix's weekly global TOP 10 (non-English series) for five consecutive weeks.
Three years have passed since Song Ki-hoon (Jung-jae), a timid man who was on the verge of giving up on his life, won the game. In season 2, Ki-hoon returns once again, determined to put an end to the game after approaching the mysterious game manager, the front man (Byung-hun). As the game progresses, players die one after another in horrific ways, and Ki-hoon rises up in rebellion against the game managers, only to see his dear friend lose his life right before his eyes. The story and character settings, which reflect not only the outcome of the game but also real social issues, have resonated with many viewers.
Season 3 of the Netflix series "Squid Game" is now available.
