Who returns in the cast for Squid Game season 2?

Anyone who watched the first season of Squid Game would know there weren't too many central characters that made it to the end of the show, but you'll be happy to hear that lead star Lee Jung-jae, who plays protagonist Seong Gi-hun, will return to the series.

According to Netflix, you can expect some "familiar faces" from season 1 to make a return to the show this year... including Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), the leader of the masked staff members who run the game; Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-jun), a detective who sneaks into the game in search of his brother; and the Recruiter (Gong Yoo), the mysterious man in the suit who initially invited Gi-hun to play the game in the first place.
