A recent interview with Wi Ha-joon, the actor who plays Hwang Jun-ho in Squid Game, has ignited a firestorm of speculation among fans about a possible appearance by BTS’ Taehyung (V) in the show’s upcoming season. This rumor, which has been circulating for some time, gained renewed momentum after Wi Ha-joon’s playful response to a question about it.
A Playful “X or O” and Lingering Questions
During an “X or O” (Yes or No) game with India Today, Wi Ha-joon was asked about the rumor of Taehyung’s cameo in Squid Game Season 3. His response, “Oh, V will be appearing? I hope it happens,” while seemingly simple, has fueled the ongoing discussion. He then cleverly avoided giving a direct answer, leaving fans wondering if he knows something or is simply playing along. This ambiguity has only intensified the curiosity surrounding the potential connection between Taehyung and the hit Netflix series.
The History of the Rumor
The speculation about Taehyung’s involvement with Squid Game began in 2021 when he wore a red jumpsuit reminiscent of the show’s attire during a BTS world tour. The rumors resurfaced in 2022 after a photo of Taehyung with Squid Game lead actor Lee Jung-jae surfaced, raising questions about their acquaintance. The recent announcement of Squid Game 3’s release date (June 27, 2025), coupled with a cryptic “27” reference in one of Taehyung’s Instagram posts, has further fueled the fire.
Actors’ Responses Add to the Mystery
When asked about the Taehyung rumors in a BuzzFeed UK interview, both Lee Jung-jae and Wi Ha-joon remained tight-lipped. Lee Jung-jae stated, “I can’t say anything about that,” while Wi Ha-joon laughed off the question. His recent response to India Today, while different, still leaves the question unanswered. This consistent ambiguity from the cast has only made fans more eager to find out the truth.
What Lies Ahead for Hwang Jun-ho?
Wi Ha-joon’s character, Hwang Jun-ho, has his own compelling storyline in Squid Game. As a detective searching for his missing brother, he infiltrates the deadly competition and uncovers a shocking secret: his brother is the Front Man. The unresolved story of Jun-ho’s quest for truth and his brother’s fate will likely be a central part of the final season.
Fans are now eagerly waiting for Squid Game 3 to premiere in June to see if Taehyung will indeed make an appearance and to find out what will happen to Hwang Jun-ho.
