Flanked by an army of the Masked Men, aka the Pink Soldiers, actors Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, Kang Ha-neul, and Park Gyu-young of Netflix’s hit dystopian thriller series Squid Game took the red carpet by storm at the Season 2 global premiere. The event, which was held in Seoul on Monday, ahead of the new season’s release on December 26, saw the stars look dashing as they turned up the oomph mostly in monochrome. Take a look.
Actor Lee Jung-jae who is set to return as Seong Gi-hun in season 2 sported an off-white blazer with a matching turtle-neck underneath and a minimalist gold pendant.
Lee Byung-hun, ‘The Front Man’, who is set to take charge of the game in season 2, walked the carpet in an all-black ensemble and a bouquet of roses in his hand.
Actors Yim Si-wan and Kang Ha-neul, who are set to join the second instalment of the thriller drama, looked dapper at the event in their chic and modish outfits.
Actor Wi Ha-jun, who reprises his role as Detective Hwang Jun-ho to continue his investigation in season 2, beamed while walking the red carpet in a trench coat, untucked white shirt and black trousers.
The Glory actor Park Sung-hoon, who is set to play Hyun-joo, a transgender woman in Squid Game S2, paired a houndstooth-patterned long coat with a black turtleneck t-shirt-trousers combo. Actress Park Gyu-young, who also joined the second season opted for black pin-stripe blazer and high-waisted trousers.
The presence of Park Hae-soo (Cho Sang Woo) and Jung Ho-yeon (Kang Sae-byeok), actors from the show’s first season, added a dash of nostalgia to the event. While the former sported a long black overcoat and green and blue plaid trousers, Jung Ho-yeon looked chic in a puffed-sleeve shrug over a fit-and-flare dress and black knee-high boots.
Actor Anupam Tripathi who played Abdul Ali in the first season also attended the event with co-star Kim Joo-ryoung, who played Han Mi-nyeo. Anupam went for a black suit and Joo-ryoung dazzled in a white polka-dotted long ensemble with tasseled sleeves over black shirt and white tie shirt.
