Hwang Dong-hyuk reflects on the intense pressure of creating Squid Game's new seasons back-to-back, stating the workload was 'sheer physical volume' and 'very intense'.
The unexpected success of Squid Game turned it into Netflix's most viewed series, creating nearly $900 million in value and winning six Emmy awards, including historic Best Director.
Hwang notes that the show's major impact has been the extension of global demand for Korean entertainment, illustrating this with the commercial success of show's merchandise.
The show's cultural significance is evident as it not only succeeded beyond expectations but also helped overcome language barrier perceptions, proving the universal appeal of compelling storytelling.
