Korean actor Park Sung-hoon, who is playing the role of a transgender woman in “Squid Game” season 2, introduced a porn version of the hit series: “Squirt Game.”
Amid the nationwide mourning in South Korea following the deadly Jeju Air plane crash that killed 179 passengers and crew on Dec. 29, Park Sung-hoon, 39, uploaded a photo of a Japanese porn video titled “Squirt Game” on his Instagram Stories on Dec. 30 and quickly deleted it.
The photo depicts Japanese porn actors who are starring in “Squirt Game” in different sexual acts.
However, his post was captured by netizens and spread online.

Following the incident, his agency, BH Entertainment issued the statement, claiming that Park Sung-hoon uploaded it by “mistake.”
“Park Sung-soon uploaded it by mistake while checking the post he received via DM [direct message],” the agency said.
It added, “The actor himself was very surprised and is deeply reflecting. He will be especially careful to ensure that something like this does not happen again.”
BH Entertainment also manages “Squid Game” stars Lee Byung-hun and Lee Jin-wook.
In “Squid Game” season 2, Park Sung-hoon is player No. 120 Cho Hyun-ju, a transgender woman who enters as a participant to complete her surgery.
However, Korean netizens criticized the alibi, saying it was impossible to accidentally post on Instagram Stories.
“How does one ‘accidentally’ post to their stories, though.. it's obvious he was trying to post it on his secret Insta and got lost,” a netizen commented on an article about him, according to Netizen Buzz.
Other comments are:
- “There are so many checks to go through before you're able to post a story, how'd he make a ‘mistake’ like this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ seems more like he got his secret Insta and public Insta confused... this totally ruins my image of him.”
- ”And how can you even post a photo that isn't saved to your phone on your stories? I get that posting it was a mistake but I'm thinking his photo roll must have some interesting pictures in it now.”
- “Yeah, this shatters my image of him.”
- “What an excuse ㅋㅋㅋ I clicked my DMs and it posted to my stories”
- “Well, now we know what he's like behind closed doors”
