The highly anticipated second season of Squid Game is finally set to premiere on December 26, 2024, and fans couldn't be more excited. One of the most thrilling revelations from the recent teaser is the return of Gong Yoo as the enigmatic salesman, whose role was pivotal in the first season. With the one-minute, 14-second teaser released by Netflix, the intrigue surrounding the deadly game is building once again.

Gong Yoo's Return as the Salesman

In the teaser, Gong Yoo's character is seen preparing his suitcase, suggesting he's ready to trick new players into the deadly series of games. Netflix released a brief one-minute, 14-second teaser featuring Gong Yoo as the salesman who prepares his suitcase before challenging potential players and tricking them into participating in the deadly series of games. His role remains crucial, as he seeks to recruit new players who are desperate to make money. The teaser takes fans through the salesman's routine, eventually leading to the subway station where he first met Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae).

For fans, this moment is especially nostalgic. It was here in Season 1 where Gong Yoo's character challenged Gi-hun to a game of Ddakji, handing him the mysterious card that initiated his involvement in the brutal game. The same station, the same tensionmdashGong Yoo's presence alone reawakens the dark, suspense-filled atmosphere that defined Squid Game's first season.

At the end of Season 1, Gi-hun spots the Salesman from a distance, who is still busy recruiting those in search of financial relief. The story now picks up three years after the first season's events. Player 456, Seong Gi-hun, chooses to forgo his trip to the United States, returning to South Korea with a renewed sense of purpose. With a determination to bring down the organisers of the deadly games, Gi-hun re-enters the high-stakes world, ready to face new challenges.
