Jeon Seok Ho's performance in Squid Game Season 2 is making fans feel all sorts of emotions, and it’s no surprise why.

Released on December 26, 2024, the second season of Squid Game has been taking the world by storm. In the early episodes, one character in particular has captured the audience’s attention—Choi Woo Seok, played by Jeon Seok Ho. His role is full of tension, but also has moments that pull at your heartstrings.

Jeon Seok Ho brings Choi Woo Seok to life—a man who, at the request of Seong Gi Hoon (Lee Jung Jae), tracks down Ddakji Nam (Gong Yoo), the recruiter for the deadly Squid Game. Alongside his loyal companion Kim Dae Po (Kim Beop Rae), they search for Ddakji Nam at subway stations every day, but it’s not long before they’re dragged into the fateful game.

In a truly heartbreaking moment, the two men face off in a Russian Roulette-style game. In a twist on Rock-Paper-Scissors, the loser has a gun aimed at their head. The tension of this moment makes the game feel even more intense and marks the cruel start of the Squid Game experience.

Choi Woo Seok survives this brutal challenge and, together with Hwang Jun Ho (Wi Ha Joon), goes on to uncover the secrets behind the Squid Game. While the situation is tragic, his survival gives fans a sense of hope and comfort. Jeon Seok Ho’s pure and gentle performance adds a layer of warmth to the intense drama, offering a bittersweet feeling of relief and stability.

As the drama progresses, Choi Woo Seok’s character continues to bring moments of hope, laughter, and strength, making him an essential and lovable ally. Viewers can’t help but root for him to survive and continue playing a key role in unraveling the truth behind the Squid Game.

Jeon Seok Ho has certainly made his mark on global audiences. Before Squid Game, he won hearts with his role as Jo Beom Pal in Kingdom, surviving a dangerous Joseon period filled with death and chaos. His ability to bring strength and gentleness to his characters makes him a fan favorite worldwide.

Looking ahead, Jeon Seok Ho will be back on screen in the first half of 2025 in the ENA drama Riding Life, so fans can look forward to more of his captivating performances!

SHINee's Key recently shared the story behind his close connection with actor Byeon Woo Seok, revealing how their friendship goes way back to his modeling days.

On May 3, a new video titled "The 77th Episode is Just an Excuse" was released on the popular Tteunteun channel.

During the episode, when Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Dong Hyun joked about Girls' Generation's Yuri possibly having a romantic interest, Key took the opportunity to talk about Byeon Woo Seok.

"It would be nice to always live with love in your heart," Key said. "It's probably similar to the feeling of liking a celebrity. I think it's similar to how people are excited about Byun Woo Seok right now."

Yoo Jae Suk responded, "Woo Seok is really something," to which Key agreed, adding, "Many people have feelings for him. They even set his photo as their phone wallpaper. He's the same age as me."

Yoo Jae Suk then pointed out, "Byeon Woo Seok may have debuted a while ago, but he hasn't been widely known to us for long, so there’s a bit of a gap."

Key shared, "I have many model friends, so I’ve known him since his modeling days. I didn’t know his name back then, but I’ve always been glad to see him doing well."

Curious, Yuri asked, "Were you close to Byeon Woo Seok originally?" Key seemed surprised, replying, "I just said I wasn’t close to him," which caused Yuri to confidently reply, "I was just curious and wanted to hear more details. Why?"

Key laughed, joking, "If you and Dong Hyun hyung become close, the world will end!"
