The Second season was released on December 26 and rewatching the first season will refresh your memory on the plot, and characters, and may answer some of your unresolved questions.

I still need to know why Seong Gi-Hun (played by Lee Jung-Jae) dyed his hair red. Was it an "I just got rich so I can turn myself inside out" move or was he trying to disguise himself from the game creators"?

2. Get Ready to know more Characters' Stories

Season one had a number of characters with untold stories, and this was sure to have turned your curiosity meter crazy. For instance, the Front Man, The Recruiter, The Pink-clothed Soldiers, what happened to the families of the dead players and so much more.

Prepare to experience more traditional and historic Korean games accompanied by gunshots for the losing team. While we see a replay of some games like Red Light, and Green Light, you should look forward to more fun games like Jegichagi, Russian Roulette, Merry-Go-Round, Flying Stone, Gong-gi, and many more.
