Lee Jung-Jae’s Squid Game became a cultural phenomenon very quickly after its release. The series provided an extremely unique concept, with an immersive storyline, extremely unique aesthetics, and a captivating tone of passing, which made it one of the most successful television series of all time. Being as significant as it was, it is no surprise that the show was renewed for a second season.
The teaser trailer for the same was recently released, having been extremely anticipated ever since the first part was released in 2021. This showed fans what can be expected of this story as it continues. What was extremely interesting was what Jung-Jae’s character, Seong Gi, had to say in this short clip. It would seem that he will be following in footsteps similar to that of an iconic Liam Neeson character.
Squid Game Teaser Gives An Insight Into Seong Gi’s Story In Season 2
Squid Game has just released a teaser for the upcoming second season of the iconic series and it only adds to the hype surrounding the show. The first part of the series ended with the protagonist, Seong Gi, being put in quite a tough spot. Though he won the prize money, he had lost all the people that he had grown to care about, feeling vengeful after this. Not towards a system that can not be shattered, but because of those who created a game meant to feed on people’s misery.
The teaser of season 2 started with a similar theme. Lee Jung-Jae was seen, adorning his controversial red hair, as he walked out of an airport. The scene then cuts to him outside the airport on the phone, telling the person on the other side that he will do whatever in his power to find him.
The Comparison of Lee Jung-Jae’s Seong Gi and Liam Neeson Is Inevitable
One of Liam Neeson’s most iconic roles to this date is that of Taken, where he played a vengeful character, who will go to the ends of the Earth to save his daughter from kidnappers. This role was so significant and memorable that fans cannot help but compare what Lee Jung-Jae’s character said, to his speech from the film.
“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don’t have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.”Liam Neeson’s iconic speech from his film, Taken.
Both of these characters deliver their threats via phone, telling the person on the other line that their days are numbered. Both also follow a similar theme of telling the other person that they do not care what they have to do in order to get what they want. While Neeson’s is a lot more menacing, it can be expected that Seong Gi’s character will not be as nice as audiences are used to anymore.
