“Squid Game” Actress Jo Yuri Reveals How She Scored Her Role
Since the release of the second season of Squid Game, the show has remained a hot topic worldwide.
After season two’s release on December 26, it ranked first in 92 countries on December 27. On December 28, it hit number one in New Zealand, and the show achieved first place in all Netflix-accessible countries.
In a recent YouTube series, singer and actress Jo Yuri appeared on the show and revealed the process it took for her take on her role in Squid Game.
Well, I participated in the auditions for the show. My company told me an audition opportunity had come through. I was in Busan the day before, and my mom asked why I was here and if I was just leaving again. But when I told my mom I would audition for ‘Squid Game,’ she told me to hurry and go.

I safely made it through the first audition and I got a call back for the second audition. I wasn’t sure how it went because although I gave it my all, I felt like I might have not made it.

But a few days later, I got the call saying I passed the second audition, and immediately called for the third audition. And I did a final fourth audition as well.

My director usually doesn’t call me during work hours, but my phone kept ringing, so I picked up and they told me that I got the role.

When asked what type of project she would like to do next, she gave an unexpected answer.
I want to try action. I love that genre and have always wanted to do it. And I’d love to play an unpredictable character.

We can’t wait to see what other roles she will take on in the future!
