Director Hwang Dong-hyuk’s Netflix original Korean drama series Squid Game returns with its highly anticipated Season 2. As Netflix’s most-watched series ever, Squid Game played a monumental role in introducing Korean dramas to a global audience. Season 2 promises an exciting new storyline and an ensemble cast featuring returning stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, and Gong Yoo, alongside Korean A-listers like Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, and Lee Jin-wook. Adding to the anticipation, HiteJinro has teamed up with Squid Game 2 for a unique collaboration featuring its flagship soju brand, Chamisul.

This partnership will introduce entertaining and creative content that blends soju with iconic Squid Game characters, enhancing viewers’ enjoyment of the series.
