The Biggest “Criticism” From Netizens After The Release Of The New “Squid Game 2” Teasers

2021 seemed to be the year of the hit K-Drama Squid Game. Whether it was netizens who were already immersed in K-Dramas or locals (those with no knowledge), the show quickly became one of the most successful series of the year.

The show’s dark nature and air of nostalgia hit with audiences from across the world, with many of the “Young” cast and even the veteran stars gaining global attention.

While fans couldn’t hide their excitement about the new series, there was one “criticism,” and it was all because of Jo Yuri.

Netizens couldn’t hide their excitement when it was revealed that former IZ*ONE member and now actress Jo Yuri was going to be part of the show’s cast. So, after all the excitement, fans “criticized” the new teasers because she was nowhere to be seen.

When the tweets were shared, while there were a lot, a few of them gained a huge amount of attention, going viral amidst the big news. One fan even shared that “Jo Yuri” was trending on their timeline because people were so upset that she wasn’t in the trailer.

With the show set to be released later in the year, fans won’t have to wait long to see Jo Yuri, but it’s hilarious that the “criticism” stems from not seeing her in the trailers, which is understandable.
