New Trailer
Hwang Jun-ho, played by actor Wi Ha-joon, is a police officer who sneaks into Seoul Grand Park as a guard to find his missing brother. He enjoys playing squid games and is known for always carrying around salt and pepper, since he thinks they are necessary tools when eating squid. One day, while playing a game, someone steals his bag and in it is his phone which he uses to contact people (thus explaining why he carries salt and pepper with him). On top of that, another person takes credit for winning games when it was actually him—leading to arguments with other players (referring to one time where Jung Joon screams at him for stealing his victory). As you can see, more often than not, he’s in trouble.
