Squid Game, the wildly popular Netflix series, achieved overwhelming success with its first season and earned praise for its unique concept, trippy aesthetic, and gritty social commentary. Now that it’s returned for a much-anticipated second installment, it’s obvious that with Seong Gi-hun, aka Player 456, being the only one to return, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk had the challenge to introduce 455 fresh faces into the mix, each with their own compelling stories. Among the most-talked-about additions is a transgender player, whose involvement has sparked conversation and controversy.
