Netflix's dystopian thriller Squid Game is back for its second season, three years after the K-drama took the world by storm, and became one of the streamer's most-watched shows. The moving but brutal series, which follows a group of contestants who volunteer in a life-or-death game for the chance at a 456 million won (about $38 million) grand prize, left fans with several cliffhangers, especially with its subplot following "hot cop" Hwang Jun-ho. As the detective infiltrated the games in search of his older brother, Squid Game season 1 ended with Jun-ho getting shot by the Front Man and falling off a cliff.
Luckily, season 2 confirms that Jun-ho survived his near-drowning, meaning Wi Ha-joon could reprise his role as the officer determined to shut down the games and reunite with his brother. The 33-year-old actor is a rising star in South Korea, whose career has skyrocketed since Squid Game propelled him to global fame. Read on for everything we know about Wi Ha-joon, including which of his projects to check out after Squid Game season 2.
