Gong Yoo is all set for his return as “The Salesman” to recruit players in the second season of the hit Korean series “Squid Game.”
In the teaser released on Netflix’s YouTube channel on Tuesday, Oct. 1, the actor does his morning routine and dresses up for the day’s work.
Yoo, with his brief case containing money and paper toys used in Korean game Ddakji, then goes to the train station to challenge recruits to play the game.
In the game, the players need to flip Yoo’s paper toy to win and earn the cash prize he promised. However, if Yoo flips the players’ paper toy, the latter will need to pay him the same amount as the cash prize he gave.
If they are not capable of paying, Yoo would just give them a slap in the face. After playing Ddakji, Yoo then invites the players to “participate in the game.”
“You’re invited to get back in the game,” the teaser’s caption reads.
“Squid Game” season 2 is set for release on Dec. 26 via the streaming platform. Actors Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Gong Yoo and Wi Ha-jun are set to return alongside new cast members Lee Jin-uk, Choi Seung-hyun, Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young and Yang Dong-geun.
