On December 27, Netflix Korea’s official YouTube channel showcased a captivating video featuring Gong Yoo in the hit series “Squid Game.” This footage highlights a chilling scene in which his character engages two terrified men, both bound with ropes, in a high-stakes game of rock-paper-scissors.
In this tense scenario, Gong Yoo ominously hints at the dire consequences for the loser, stating, “The loser will face a punishment.” He draws a parallel to Russian Roulette, explaining that a bullet is loaded into a revolver capable of holding six rounds, and that the trigger will be pulled while aimed at the unfortunate participant. He chillingly calculates the odds, quipping, “The probability of dying is 1 in 6, with a 5 in 6 chance of survival,” maintaining a haunting gaze on his audience.
After three drama-filled rounds without any bullets fired, Gong Yoo’s impatience surfaces. He decides to escalate the stakes by loading four additional bullets into the revolver, further heightening the tension. His portrayal has left many viewers spellbound, leading to an outpouring of admiration on social media. Comments such as, “Gong Yoo’s acting is insane,” and “His portrayal is groundbreaking,” exemplify the overwhelming positive reception from fans, with several noting they were left breathless during this intense moment.
In contrast, T.O.P, the former member of BIGBANG, presents a contrasting performance in “Squid Game 2” , where he embodies the character Thanos, a rapper with a wild demeanor. However, his portrayal has garnered mixed reviews, with several online commentators voicing their disappointment. Critiques of T.O.P’s performance highlight unconvincing delivery and awkward moments, with remarks such as, “It was so cringeworthy I had to stop watching,” indicating a stark difference from Gong Yoo’s acclaimed role.
“Squid Game 2” officially premiered on Netflix on December 26, continuing the franchise’s narrative with fresh characters and intensified drama.
