It's an understatement to say that Netflix's Squid Game is the show to watch right now. But after binging the 9-episode series, you're probably left with some Squid Game withdrawal symptoms of sorts.

There's no better way to ease this suffering than to indulge in behind-the-scenes content and following the cast on Instagram! Lead actors Lee Jungjae and Park Haesoo have just joined the 'gram over the weekend with new BTS pictures.

Actor Lee Jungjae, who plays the main character Seong Gihun (player 456), posted his first ever Instagram post on Saturday: a cheeky selfie that has amassed over a million likes.

Playing the polarising character Cho Sangwoo (player 218) is Park Haesoo, who has also just started his new Instagram account. Although it's only been a day as of the time of writing, the comment section is already filled with simps saying hilariously thirsty, Squid Game-related things like "push me over the glass", "if u betrayed me, i would be saying thank u" and "u can take my marbles".

His behind-the-scenes post shows him and Jung Hoyeon, who plays Kang Saebyeok (player 067), up to some shenanigans reenacting some of the games on the walls of the main room. It's oddly heartwarming to see, especially since this was likely taken during the scene where one slits the other's throat!
