The second season of Squid Game adds a crypto scammer character that explores social issues and resonates
The highly anticipated second season of 'Squid Game' has introduced a character that brings a modern twist to the plot and has caused a sensation: a character who transforms from a Cryptocurrency influencer to a fugitive scammer. This character, named Lee Myung-gi, was once a successful YouTuber and avid Cryptocurrency trader who ran a channel called 'MG Coin', where he provided fans with advice on Cryptocurrency investments.
Not long after, Lee Myung-ki launched a cryptocurrency called 'Dalmatian' and said everyone should put their last penny into it. It turned out that this cryptocurrency was just a scam. Lee Myung-ki pocketed the money and ran away, deceiving his followers' wealth. Everyone who invested in the cryptocurrency lost a total of 15.2 billion Korean won.
Li Ming is wanted for genetic fraud and violating multiple telecommunications and financial investment laws, becoming a fugitive. He closed his YouTube channel and began to flee.
The story of Lee Ming-ji is both humanized and easy to resonate. This character injects a new perspective into the already compact narrative of the show, exploring the theme of financial bankruptcy and the consequences of deception. The addition of cryptocurrency scammers seamlessly fits into the series' broader observations on financial risks and moral dilemmas, further enriching the intricate portrayal of human experiences that the show attempts to depict.
In addition, the introduction of Lee Myung-gi (also known as 'Number 333') emphasizes that the series aims to explore broader social issues, including individuals' vulnerability to financial fraud and the consequences of such fraudulent behavior. This narrative thread is cleverly woven into the main storyline of this season, which includes new games and a whole new cast of characters, many of whom rejoin this deadly competition with interests and motivations that are deeply personal, attracting widespread attention due to its innovative characters and plot developments. The content of this season is bound to be as intense and thought-provoking as the previous ones, with director Hwang Dong-hyuk hinting that it will be more brutal than the first part.
