ItBԪַs official, the Netflix TV series BԪַSquid GameBԪַ will be back for a season two, even though most TV shows in South Korea run for just one season. But due to the showBԪַs global success, its creator and director said, BԪַI almost feel like you leave us no choice.BԪַ

BԪַThereBԪַs been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season,BԪַ Hwang Dong-hyuk said at a red-carpet celebration for the show Monday night.

BԪַItBԪַs in my head right now. IBԪַm in the planning process currently. But I do think itBԪַs too early to say when and how thatBԪַs going to happen. So I will promise you this, Gi-hun will be back and heBԪַll do something for the world,BԪַ explained Hwang.

The series, starring Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun and others in the ensemble cast, centers on people who are so desperate for money that they agree to take part in a series of schoolyard games with a deadly twist.

The dystopian survival drama from South Korea is said to have become NetflixBԪַs biggest-ever TV show. With that success has come global recognition for its stars.

Model-turned-actress Jung Ho-yeon is used to traveling for the fashion world. But this time when she flew from Korea to Los Angeles, she met her first fan at the airport, an immigration officer who asked her for her autograph.

Actor Park Hae-soo, who plays Jo Sang-woo in the series, said he BԪַmade the big decisionBԪַ to start an Instagram account.

BԪַNow I really wanted to communicate with the world and everybody, so I started my Instagram account,BԪַ said Park.

The lead actor, Lee Jung-jae has been working in Korea for over 25 years. Now his life has changed because heBԪַs also recognized on the streets of America.

BԪַThatBԪַs amazing, right? People just go around and say hello,BԪַ said Lee. BԪַSo I really donBԪַt know how to respond to all the love. ItBԪַs so great to be able to meet the fans who have loved and watched the show so much.BԪַ

The cast and creator all have dreams of working in a Hollywood production someday with Jung jokingly calling out, BԪַHey guys, call our agent!BԪַ
