In an unexpected turn of events, Park Sung-hoon, known for his role in the hit Netflix series “Squid Game” Season 2, has ignited a firestorm of controversy after inadvertently sharing the cover image of a pornographic parody, titled “Squirt Game,” on his Instagram story.

Park Sung-hoon himself has since personally apologized, acknowledging the gravity of his error and committing to more mindful behavior in the future.
