In 'Squid Game' Seasons 2 and 3, Park Kyung-young played the role of the Pink Guard 'No-eul'. No-eul is a North Korean defector and former soldier who is willing to do anything to find her daughter left behind in the North. Park Kyung-young, as a host rather than a participant in 'Squid Game', presented a new perspective to viewers and expanded the 'Squid Game' universe, receiving critical acclaim.

In particular, Park Kyung-young captivated audiences with her portrayal of No-eul, who struggles for her own beliefs while confronting the squad leader who trades the skills of eliminated players and other Pink Guards, using sharp eyes filled with delicate emotions and top-notch action performances.

Global attention is also focused on Park Kyung-young's outstanding performance. The UK's leading daily newspaper 'The Times' named her a rising star and a central female character driving the narrative of 'Squid Game' Season 3. Additionally, 'ELLE India' selected Park Kyung-young as the cover story protagonist, the first among Korean actors, highlighting her in detail.

Meanwhile, the winners of the 2025 Gold Derby TV Awards, where Park Kyung-young is nominated, will be announced on August 18.
