“I do think it’s too early to say when and how that’s going to happen. So I will promise you this, Gi-hun will come back. He will do something for the world,” Hwang stated.
Post its premiere in September, 'Squid Game' quickly soared up the popularity chart of Netflix and remained in its top ten most popular titles slot for weeks.
'Squid Game' has not only profited Netflix but its actors too. Lee Jung-Jae, who has been working for over 25 years in the industry, said people recognise him now in America as well.
“That’s amazing, right? People just go around and say hello. So I really don’t know how to respond to all the love. It’s so great to be able to meet the fans who have loved and watched the show so much,” concluded the actor.
