Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed the physical toll of creating 'Squid Game,' losing 'eight or nine' teeth during production. He emphasized the conditions were perilous in pursuit of storytelling.
Despite the monumental success of 'Squid Game,' Hwang admitted financial rewards weren't substantial. He expressed hope that the upcoming Season 2 would offer better compensation for his hard work.
Hwang's inspiration for 'Squid Game' stemmed from his experiences post-2009 South Korean economic crisis, highlighting the socio-economic themes central to the series.
The pressure of creating Season 2 is intensified for Hwang, who noted that although the first season was hugely successful, the stress of expectations is now much greater.
