Yu Ri was asked about the rumored 4.2 billion won ‘appearance fee of 4.2 billion won, “Thank you for asking that question. I also read that article for the first time and had a good laugh.”

She continued, “I cannot reveal the exact appearance fee, but 4.2 billion won is an amount that I have never thought of or touched before. That is a rumor.”

In “Squid Game 2”, Jo Yu Ri portrayed player 222 Jun Hee, a pregnant woman who loses money due to her former boyfriend Myung Gi (Im Siwan), a coin investment expert and YouTuber. Jun Hee participates in a game, which leads to a reunion with Myung Gi.

She was undoubtedly one of the standout characters from the season and worked hard to prepare for the role. Despite playing a pregnant woman, she lost weight for her role. 

The former IZ*ONE member surprisingly revealed that she intentionally did not gain weight and lost 4-5 kg during filming.

She explained that she normally weighs around 45-46 kg when she is not actively working and loses 4-5 kg when she has important projects.
