Park Gyu-young expands the universe of ‘Squid Game 2’… active as a Pink Guard.

Actor Park Gyu-young has taken off the mask. On December 26 of last year, the Netflix series ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 was released.

The story unfolds with the fierce battle between ‘Gi-hun’ (Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the game with a vow of revenge, and ‘Frontman’ (Lee Byung-hun) who confronts him, and the real game that begins again. Among the revelations, the identity of Nole, played by Park Gyu-young, was revealed. Nole is a North Korean defector and former soldier working at an amusement park in a doll costume, seeking her daughter left in the North.

Upon receiving the ‘○△□’ card, she wore the pink uniform of the game’s progression staff, instead of the green tracksuit worn by participants. As ‘Nole’ became a Pink Guard, she turns guns back on participants barely kept alive by other Pink Guards.

In response, Park Gyu-young stated, “‘Nole’ cannot live with the guilt of leaving her child in the North, but can continue to live with a small hope of finding her child,” adding, “She participated in the game with the thought of sending people like herself without hope in life to a peaceful rest without pain.” With Nole’s appearance, viewers could see the game, previously seen through the perspective of participants, from the perspective of Pink Guards, or the game’s progress staff.

In the expanded ‘Squid Game’ universe, viewers responded positively, saying “It was surprising that Park Gyu-young was a Pink Guard, not a game participant”, “Refreshing to see the story of Pink Guards”, and “Nole’s identity was the most shocking”, praising Park Gyu-young and Nole’s performance. Inspired by the praise, Nole’s unreleased stills were revealed.

The released stills show Nole in a moment of contemplation in her room, soon gazing blankly while wearing her uniform.

The yet-unrevealed story of Nole arouses curiosity among viewers. Meanwhile, ‘Squid Game’ Season 2, featuring Park Gyu-young, reached global TOP 10 on Netflix in 93 countries based on the global OTT ranking site ‘Flix Patrol’ right after its release.

Additionally, on the weekly (12/23-12/29) ranking for non-English series announced by Netflix on the 1st, it achieved the number one spot worldwide, accumulating 68 million views in just four days after release. Reporter Sujin Lee sujin06@edaily.co.kr
