Squid Game creator defends decision to cast cis man as a trans woman
Briefly

"I did anticipate such discussions to arise from the first moment I began creating the character. In the beginning we were doing our research, and I was thinking of doing an authentic casting of a trans actor."
"When we researched in Korea, there are close to no actors [who] are openly trans, let alone openly gay, because unfortunately in Korean society the LGBTQ+ community is still marginalised and more neglected, which is heart-breaking."
"I have watched his work ever since his debut, and I had complete trust that he would be the right person in terms of talent in portraying this character."
