Squid Game actor Yang Dong-geun, who plays Park Yong-sik (Player 007) in season 2, revealed that his character took a major turn during production. Yong-sik is a gambling addict who joins the games to clear his debts, unaware that his mother, Jang Geum-ja (played by Kang Ae-sim), has also entered to help him. The mother-son duo became a standout highlight of Squid Game season 2, as Yong-sik often grapples with choosing between protecting his mother from elimination and pushing forward in the deadly games to win the prize money.
