Season 2 is coming. The man in the suit with ddakji might be back. You'll also be introduced to Young-hee's boyfriend, Cheol-su. Join us once more for a whole new round. Hwang Dong-hyuk Director, Writer and Executive Producer of 'Squid Game',” the note reads.
Take a look at the tweets:
“Googled the name, because bad at remembering names. So a doll has a boyfriend. Googled the boyfriends name. So... A mash up between Squid Game and All of us are Dead?” asked a Twitter user while reacting to Netflix’s post. To which, another replied, “No, it’s from popular Korean kid’s story” and shared this image:
Last year in The Tonight Show hosted by Jimmy Fallon, actor HoYeon Jung who played the role of Kang Sae-byeok in the first season of the series revealed the inspiration behind the creepy doll and also talked about her counterpart. “When we were at school, there were characters. One is a boy, and one is a girl. The boy’s name was Cheolsoo, and the girl’s name was Younghee,” she shared.
“Why is nobody talking about her boyfriend??” posted another along with the picture of the giant creepy doll from the show. “A doll has a boyfriend but ...never mind,” joked a third.
An individual took the opportunity to share this edited video of the doll.
