Director Hwang Dong-hyuk teased the second season of ‘Squid Game’.
On the afternoon of the 13th (Korea Standard Time), a local meeting of Netflix’s original drama “Squid Game” was held at JW Marriott LA LIVE in Los Angeles, California, USA. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, producer Kim Ji-yeon, and actors Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Jung Ho-yeon, and Oh Young-soo attended the scene.
Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, “Squid Game” was nominated for the 74th Primetime Emmy Award as the first non-English-speaking work and won six awards, including the “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series”, “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series”, “Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series”, “Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Single Episode”, “Outstanding Stunt Performance” and “Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Contemporary Program”.
After winning the Emmy Award for “Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series”, Hwang added to fans’ expectations by talking about returning to season 2 while expressing his acceptance speech. Director Hwang said at a press conference, “The Emmy Awards are not just a one-time event, but a story that contains the desire to come back through the next work”.
Director Hwang said he was writing “Squid Game” season 2, stating that “It is hard to say much. I’m in the middle of doing it,” he said. “To make a big difference, Sung Ki-hoon was a child-like person who made many mistakes and was naive in season 1”. In season 2, he elaborated, “The big difference is that he returns as a heavier person who is likely to do something serious”.
