It was previously reported that actor Oh Dal Su would be joining season 2 of 'Squid Game'.
This decision was notable in that the actor had been caught up in 'Me Too' allegations in 2018 and was declared 'not guilty' because the statue of limitations had run out.
In response, Korean netizens gathered on a Korean online community to share their opinions on the situation.
"They're really making it as unappealing to watch as possible. The director's confidence is unmatched."
"What is with the casting for 'Squid Game' season 2?"
"What is this drama, are they running some kind of image laundering service for criminal actors?"
"I'm not going to watch."
"Just change the title to 'Laundering Games'."
"I had already thought that 'Squid Game' was a drama that didn't need a sequel but seeing who's going to be in it, I'm not looking forward to it even more."
"I'm not going to watch, reasons to not watch just keep getting bigger."
"Are there really not enough male actors in our country?"
"Just why?"
"It feels like they're really pushing us to not watch it."
"I guess the director's just trusting his fame that he gained haha. Definitely not going to watch."
"Is this because the director wants it? Why are they doing this?"
