“There was so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season,” she said at a red carpet ceremony for the show Monday night.

“It’s all in my head right now. I’m in the planning process right now. But I think it’s too early to say when and how it will happen. So I’ll promise you this, Gi-hyun will be back and he will be the part of the world.” Will do something for it,” Hwang explained.

Netflix has not officially announced a second season. The series, starring Lee Jung-jae, Seong Gi-hyun and other ensemble casts, centers on people who are so desperate for money that they agree to participate in a series of school games with a fatal twist. .

South Korea’s dystopian survival drama is said to have become Netflix’s biggest TV show ever. With this success, its stars have got global recognition.

Model-turned-actress Jung Ho-yeon has a knack for wandering around in the fashion world. But this time when she flew from Korea to Los Angeles, she met her first fan at the airport, an immigration officer who asked her for an autograph.

Actor Park Hee-soo, who plays Jo Sang-woo in the series, said he made the “big decision” to start an Instagram account.

“Now I really wanted to communicate with the world and everyone, so I started my Instagram account,” Park said.

Lead actor Lee Jung-jae has been working in Korea for over 25 years. Now his life has changed because he is also recognized on the streets of America.

“It’s amazing, isn’t it? People just go around and say hello,” said Lee. “So I really don’t know how to respond to all the love. It’s great to meet fans who have loved and watched the show so much.”

The cast and producers all dream of one day working in a Hollywood production, to which Jung joked, “Hey guys, call our agent!”
