Netizens reaction on the trailer

The trailer for Squid Game Season 2 has sparked a wave of excitement among netizens,

“The "ONE MORE GAME!" chant has given me chills even after one watch of the trailer. It made me realize that Gi Hun is a gambling addict and it's why he was invited to play before since he was a nobody. Now he's not here because he wishes to win the prize, he wants to help the people struggling who were in a status similar to his.”

“I appreciate the idea of Gi-hun stepping into a leadership role and guiding the players as a mentor.”

Another said, “There are no words to described how HYPED i am for season 2”

One fan said, “"The game will not end unless the world changes." This line is unfortunately true, the Squid Games aren't just within the island, they're everywhere and exist amongst us.”

“Can't wait to be traumatised again”

“I just know this season will be intense. Can't wait to watch it”

“Crumbs of Gyu, his character is a mystery”
