The Season 2 of Netflix's нιт horror series Squid Game premiered on December 26. Similar to season 1, the series continues to delight and excite fans with the υиєχρє¢тє∂ appearance of "semi-professional" actors.
With expectations rising for season 3 of the series, many fans are curious whether actor Kim Tae Hyung will participate in it. In particular, this question was sent to the main actor of the series and he gave a surprising answer!
Find out what the answer is below:
According to Flixpatrol, on December 29, "Squid Game 2" ranked No. 1 in all 93 countries worldwide that have the Netflix platform. This is the first show in Netflix history to achieve this impressive achievement. That shows the popularity and appeal of this series to the au∂ιєnce.
In addition to the unique content, with elements of surprise, drama mixed with humor and the acting of veteran actors, one of the factors leading to the success of Squid Game is the presence of "reluctant" actors. Most prominent in this season, fans are crazy about the participation of many characters who are real-life idols such as T.O.P (Big Bang), Im Si Wan (ZE:A), Jo Yuri (fromis_9 and IZ*ONE)...
With the successful acting of these characters in Part 2, netizens are even more looking forward to the appearance of many new idols in Part 3 of this popular series. The idol mentioned most in the past few days must be V - who is not only suitable for the film but also has close connections with many actors in the crew.
ARMYs' suspicions were further heightened after Netflix "α¢¢ι∂єитally" revealed June 27, 2025 as the release date for Squid Game 3 in an edited trailer posted to YouTube. ARMYs noted that V's most recent Instagram post captioned "27 v2" cryptically. V's discharge date is scheduled for June 10 this year, which lines up perfectly with the upcoming season's supposed release date.
So, during an interview between BuzzFeed and lead actor (and V's friend) Lee Jung Jae and Squid Game co-star Wi Ha Joon, rumors of V joining the cast were brought up. When these speculations were mentioned, both actors couldn't help but laugh, but they were also quick to decline to comment. While Lee Jung Jae said, "I can’t say anything about that", Wi Ha Joon followed up with, "No comment."
Although this response was unclear and there was no basis for confirmation, many ARMYs were quick to celebrate. They believed that "their lack of response" was better than being rejected. ARMYs αѕѕumed that since the series' main actor did not rule out V's participation, it was likely that they had plans for his appearance.
On SNS, netizens left many comments about this topic:
- We want him so bad

For years, ARMYs have been excited for V to join the Squid Game cast because he himself is a fan of the series. He once cosplayed as a masked bodyguard at BTS' PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE concert in Los Angeles, California.
In addition, he and the main actor Lee Jung Jae are also close friends, making the rumor even more popular. Aside from Lee Jung Jae, V is also known to be friends with ZE:A's Im Siwan, who joined the cast of Squid Game Season 2.
There are so many connections between V and Squid Game that fans can't help but be excited for season 3!
