Why does Squid Game 2 have a "criminal record" but still act in movies? Is Netflix condoning criminals?

From the anticipated global blockbuster, Squid Game 2 is facing a wave of fierce condemnation because of its "inappropriate" cast. The past scandals of the stars, from criminal records to love scandals, have made the film the center of controversy.

Squid Game, the global sensation of 2021, has created a new era for Korean dramas. With 1.65 billion online views in just four weeks of its release, the series quickly took the position of "the most popular TV show of all time" on Netflix, reaped countless prestigious awards and spread a strong influence on popular culture.

However, the joy was not complete, a wave of anger arose in the online community when information about the cast of Squid Game 2 was released. A series of stars who had been involved in a series of shocking scandals made the film the focus of anger, even being compared to "a place for criminals".

The appearance of actors who were "involved" in Squid Game 2 has met with a fierce reaction from the audience. On forums and social networks, a series of comments expressing disappointment, anger and calling for a boycott of the film appeared.

Many people are concerned about the negative impact this will have on young people, especially when Squid Game has a large fan base of this age. Feeling offended that the producer seems to "condone" people with criminal records is also one of the main reasons for public outrage. Articles, analyses, and expert opinions have also spoken out on this issue, questioning the social responsibility of film producers.

One of the most controversial cases was the return of Song Young Chang. In 2000, he was sentenced to 10 months in prison and 2 years of probation for his indictment. This incident caused his career to plummet, and he was banned from many major television stations. The fact that he continued to work in the entertainment industry after these serious scandals caused much controversy.

Choi Seung Hyun (TOP), a former member of the famous boy band Big Bang, also disappointed fans when he was convicted of using illegal drugs in 2017. The incident seriously affected his career and the whole band. Oh Dal Soo, a veteran actor, was also accused of harassment in 2018. Although he was later acquitted, his career was still heavily affected by the wave of boycott from public opinion.

Oh Young Soo, who made a strong impression as the "final boss" in Squid Game part 1, also could not avoid the law when he was sentenced to probation for harassment. This incident caused him to lose the opportunity to return in Squid Game 2.

Lee Jin Wook, another famous actor, was also involved in an allegation of sexual assault in 2016. Although he was later acquitted, the incident left a "stain" on his career. Lee Jung Jae, the male lead of Squid Game, is also not "clean" with many previous convictions such as drunk driving, accusations of violence, sensitive statements about LGBT and the recent lawsuit.

The continuous scandals of the cast of Squid Game 2 have raised questions about the responsibility of Netflix producers in choosing actors. Many international stars have also been involved in personal scandals but still continue to work in the entertainment industry, causing much controversy in public opinion.

The controversy surrounding the cast of Squid Game 2 has cast a shadow over the film. Will these scandals affect the success of Squid Game 2? Will audiences accept a film with a cast of "criminals"? Should Netflix reconsider its casting criteria in the future?
