Squid Game stars revealed that one actor couldn’t actually complete one of the games featured in season 2, even though the character they were playing won the game. Squid Game season 2’s cast includes Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, and Wi Ha-joon, who all reprise their roles from season 1. However, Squid Game season 2 also features a plethora of new characters, including Jun-hee, who is portrayed by Jo Yu-ri. In season 2, Jun-hee joins the games despite being pregnant, which complicates the story of the season.
In an interview with Netflix, Squid Game stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Seo-Hwan, Kang Ha-neul, and Jo Yu-ri discuss filming the Six-Legged Pentathlon, which is one of the games featured in season 2. The Six-Legged Pentathlon is split into five mini-games, one of these games being Ddakji. In the interview, Yu-ri and the other stars recall how much trouble she had flipping the envelope in Ddakji. Yu-ri explains that she practiced playing Ddakji so much on set, but couldn’t actually flip the envelope when they were filming the scene. Read Yu-ri’s full comment below:
Ever since the Red Light, Green Light shoot, I had been practicing non-stop on set. I was good while practicing, but I couldn’t do it during the shoot.
Six-Legged Pentathlon Was One Of The Most Intense Games In Squid Game Season 2
Six-Legged Pentathlon Is Split Into Five Mini-Games
The Six-Legged Pentathlon is one of the most unique games in Squid Game season 2. It is different from other games featured on the show, as it actually consists of five mini-games. For the Six-Legged Pentathlon, the players are split into groups of five and are then adjoined by their legs. During the game, each player must complete one mini-game as the group moves around a circle. The games included in the Six-Legged Pentathlon are Ddakji, Flying Stone, Gong-gi, Spinning Top, and Jegi.

A very particular triumphant song plays during the six-legged pentathlon scene in Squid Game season 2, episode 5 “Han Geim Deo” or “One More Game”.
For the game, Jun-hee is in a group with Gi-hun, In-ho, Jeong-Bae, and Dae-ho. Since Jun-hee is the first person in the group, she has to play Ddakji, a game that has been featured several times throughout the series. In Ddakji, the player must throw one envelope at another envelope, in an attempt to flip it. Even though Jun-hee successfully completes the mini-game in Squid Game season 2, Yu-ri had a much harder time playing the game when they were filming the scene.
Jo Yu-ri Struggled With Squid Game’s Ddakji Game
Many of the games that are featured in Squid Game are very hard. The Six-Legged Pentathlon is perhaps the most stressful game to watch in Squid Game season 2 because players have such little time to complete all the mini-games. Therefore, it is funny to learn that Yu-ri struggled a lot while filming her Ddakji scene in Squid Game season 2. While her character survived the Six-Legged Pentathlon, learning that Yu-ri struggled a lot is an interesting piece of Squid Game trivia.
