Squid Game season 2's star Lee Jung-jae says he felt "horror" stepping back into the arena on the Netflix show: "It's a kind of feeling that I would never forget in my life"

Squid Game season 2 (2024).

Netflix's hugely popular, ultra-violent show Squid Game is coming back for a second season, and it seems like it will be just as brutal as its shocking first season. The new episodes follow protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) as he returns to the arena to try and take the games down from the inside.

Naturally, this means he'll be returning to the arena where he watched 455 of his fellow contestants die. It's a dark place to pick up with the character once again, and as actor Lee Jung-jae explained to GamesRadar+ and other press at a recent roundtable for Squid Game season 2, it was difficult as an actor to return to that world.
