Netflix, the global entertainment service, has released behind-the-scenes stills and special appearance stills for Season 3 of the series 'Squid Game.'
As 'Squid Game' Season 3, which depicts the story of 'Gi-hun,' who loses his best friend in a game he re-enters with his own purpose, and the 'Frontman,' who secretly joins the game while hiding his identity, gains worldwide popularity once again, 22 behind-the-scenes stills have been revealed, along with special appearance stills of the actors that brought joy and surprise to viewers.
The 22 behind-the-scenes stills released capture the efforts of the cast and crew to complete the final story of 'Squid Game' and the pleasant atmosphere on set. First, Lee Jung-jae and director Hwang Dong-hyuk are seen in serious discussion while filming the survivors' final supper scene, where their passion for creating a high-quality work is evident. A still of Lee Jung-jae and director Hwang Dong-hyuk hugging with mixed emotions on the set of the final game, 'High-Altitude Squid Game,' conveys their feelings as they wrap up the grand journey of 'Squid Game.' The appearance of the two actors while filming the scene where 'Gi-hun' (Lee Jung-jae) faces 'Frontman' (Lee Byung-hun) without his mask also draws attention.
Lee Byung-hun's appearance as he monitors the scenes filmed with the production team suggests that the complex and deep emotions of the 'Frontman' watching 'Gi-hun' as he approaches the game with entirely different thoughts from what he expected could only be realized through Lee Byung-hun's passion and effort. The dedication of Yim Siwan and Kang Ha-neul, who fully immersed themselves in their roles as 'Myung-ki' and 'Dae-ho,' evokes the narratives of both characters that kept viewers glued until the end. The behind-the-scenes stills of the main cast, including Wi Ha-jun, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-wook, Park Sung-hoon, Jo Yuri, Kang Ae-sim, Yang Dong-geun, Lee Da-witt, Noh Jae-won, Choi Seung-hyun, and Jung Ho-yeon, richen the final story of 'Squid Game' and capture the lively atmosphere of the filming, suggesting that the finale of 'Squid Game' was completed through the efforts and passion of all the cast members.
The special appearance stills released alongside depict the appearances of other main characters in 'Squid Game' Season 3, bringing joy and surprise to viewers worldwide. First, the scenes of 'Thanos' (Choi Seung-hyun) appearing as the illusion of 'Min-su' (Lee Da-witt) and 'Semi' (Won Ji-an) capture attention. The two amplify the chaos of 'Min-su' with their brief appearance, exuding a strong presence. A still of 'Dawn' (Jung Ho-yeon) appearing in 'Gi-hun's' vision also draws focus. Just before 'Gi-hun' loses his rationality in the extreme situation, a line from 'Dawn' that prevents him from losing his last hope in humanity leaves a deep echo in the hearts of all viewers. Additionally, the appearance of Cate Blanchett in a suit, playing a game of tsunami in an alley in the U.S. for the last scene of Season 3 surprised global viewers. Viewers are enthusiastically praising Cate Blanchett's appearance, stating, 'Ending it with Cate Blanchett's overwhelming presence was a divine move' (X leca****), 'Cate Blanchett steals the show with just one cut' (X sopho****), 'The most spine-chilling moment throughout the Squid Game series… Is this person really appearing here?' (YouTube SoSo*****), and 'Cate Blanchett's final scene was truly intense' (YouTube Kim*****) come in response.
Meanwhile, the pop-up that recreates the space of 'Squid Game' at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul is also drawing attention. This pop-up not only lets visitors experience the 'Jump Rope Game' featured in Season 3 but also offers a photo zone decorated with the iconic characters 'Young-hee,' 'Cheolsu,' and themes from the 'Pairing Game' in Season 2, allowing special memories to be made. The jump rope game experience zone, which made a strong impression as a new game in Season 3, allows citizens to jump rope, watched over by 'Young-hee' and 'Cheolsu,' as if they were participants in the game, garnering a warm response. Moreover, on weekends, visitors can also experience the tsukigame game with the character 'Tackman' that appeared at Gwanghwamun Square. Additionally, there are random booths offering various rewards based on the number of stamps earned through the 'Jump Rope Game' and spaces where 'Squid Game' collaborative products can be found, resulting in a steady flow of citizens and tourists visiting the 'Squid Game' pop-up. The Gwanghwamun pop-up, which continues the aftertaste of 'Squid Game' that wrapped up with a grand finale, will run from June 29 (Sun) to July 6 (Sun), and anyone can participate without advance reservations through an on-site waiting system.
'Squid Game' Season 3, which is once again surpassing everyone's expectations and causing a pink syndrome worldwide, is currently streaming exclusively on Netflix.
