The hit South Korean series Squid Game has made a grand return to our screens, and it’s capturing the hearts and minds of viewers, especially those tuned into Netflix. It’s definitely continuing its run of spectacular success across a diverse audience.

While the focus is often on the intense and inventive games, there’s one character that’s sparking plenty of conversation—Young Hee. Remembered as the iconic doll from the show’s infamous “Red Light, Green Light” game, fans noticed she’s undergone quite the transformation in her looks since her debut in season one.

In the second season of Squid Game, Young Hee makes her return, once again playing her critical role in the tense and deadly game. If anyone fails to stop on a red light, tradition has it they face grave consequences!

According to reports making the rounds in South Korean media outlets, Young Hee went through what some are calling a ‘cosmetic procedure’. It’s supposedly this change that’s responsible for her fresh and noticeably different appearance that had fans talking.

First appearing in the show’s 2020 season, Young Hee grabbed attention with her eerily lifelike presence. Now, as she returns in 2024, viewers are curious to know just what transformations she underwent that have her looking so altered.

The revamped Young Hee seems to have captured imaginations anew, boasting bigger eyes, a noticeably brighter skin tone, more pronounced cheeks, and a sharper chin. These enhanced features have spurred discussions across online boards and social media alike. Some have creatively speculated about her skincare regime, jokingly wishing they could adopt her ‘routine’ as part of their own beauty practices!

Whether her differences are due to a digital makeover or a deliberate design choice, one thing is for certain—she does have a new companion named Chul Soo. He’s set to make an appearance in promotional teasers for a potential third season of Squid Game, hinting that our beloved robotic doll may have more in store for fans in future episodes.
