According to reports, Squid Game 2’s creators started this week, despite T.O.P joining without any problems. Filming for the reality show reportedly began in Seoul and Incheon, with Lee Jung Jae covertly finishing his first recording.
Squid Game 2 recently concluded its first script reading despite the impending controversy regarding the cast of the programme. Neither Netflix nor the director Hwang Dong Hyuk issued an official statement. For the uninitiated, Choi Seung Hyun aka T.O.P was sentenced to two years of probation after being found guilty of ingesting illegal marijuana in 2017. He declared in 2019 that he will not be returning to the entertainment business.
However, he quit YG Entertainment in April 2022 after appearing in BIGBANG’s digital song Still Life. T.O.P. just announced on an SNS that he has left the group. The Fortress and Svaha: The Sixth Finger), Lee David (The Fortress and Sweet Home), Lee Jin-uk (Miss Granny and Sweet Home), Roh Jae-Won (Missing Yoon and Ditto), and Won Ji-an (Heartbeat) are among the new additions for Squid Game 2.
Fans are worried about the show’s reputation as a result of all these scandals, and they apparently have criticised the director for moving forward with the casting. Many others have also said they won’t be watching the show.The Netflix OTT service’s 2021 release of Squid Game quickly attracted a large international fan base.
The plot of the show centres on ordinary people who risk their lives in an effort to win a huge monetary prize. Before going back to the games, spectators might have to wait a little longer.
