Alice in Borderland Season 3: ITZY’s Yeji Not Joining Cast; Netflix Confirms Rumors Are False

Fans of the hit Netflix series Alice in Borderland and K-pop group ITZY were excited by rumors that Yeji, the leader of ITZY, would join the show’s third season. However, Netflix has officially confirmed these rumors are not true. The false news spread quickly online, causing confusion among fans.

The rumor started on a Facebook page run by Gamurs Group, which claimed Yeji would have a lead role in Alice in Borderland Season 3. The post gained over 134,000 reactions and was shared more than 14,000 times before being debunked. Netflix representatives confirmed that Yeji is not part of the show’s upcoming season.

Yeji, known for her role as a K-pop idol, has limited acting experience. Her only known acting credit is a small cameo as a backup dancer in the 2015 K-drama Twenty Again. Many fans hoped this would be her big acting debut, but Netflix clarified that no such casting happened.

Alice in Borderland is a Japanese Netflix series based on the manga by Haro Aso. The show follows a group of people trapped in a deadly game-filled version of Tokyo. Season 3 is expected to continue the story beyond the original manga, introducing new challenges for the characters.

The main cast, including Kento Yamazaki as Arisu and Tao Tsuchiya as Usagi, will return for the new season. Other confirmed returning actors include Nijiro Murakami (Chishiya), Ayaka Miyoshi (Ann), and Aya Asahina (Kuina). Netflix has not announced any new major cast members yet.

Filming for Alice in Borderland Season 3 reportedly took place between late 2023 and early 2024. The show is expected to release in late 2025, following the pattern of previous seasons, which also debuted in December. Fans are eager to see how the story unfolds after the shocking Season 2 ending.

In the Season 2 finale, the survivors woke up in the real world, believing they had escaped the deadly games. However, the appearance of a Joker card hinted that their struggles might not be over. The Joker was not part of the original manga, meaning Season 3 could take the story in a completely new direction.

Some fans speculated that Season 3 might adapt Alice in Borderland Retry, a sequel manga set years after the original story. Others think the characters could still be trapped in another layer of the game. Netflix has kept plot details under wraps, leaving viewers guessing.

Despite the false Yeji rumors, excitement for Alice in Borderland Season 3 remains high. The series has been praised for its intense action, emotional storytelling, and strong performances. Fans are looking forward to seeing how the story continues beyond the manga’s ending.

Netflix has not released a trailer yet, but teaser images suggest the new season will feature even more dangerous games. The show’s director, Shinsuke Sato, is expected to maintain the same high-energy style that made the first two seasons so popular.

Alice in Borderland has become one of Netflix’s most successful manga adaptations. The show’s global popularity has led to high expectations for Season 3. With no official release date confirmed, fans will have to wait for more updates from Netflix.
