There's no doubt that Squid Game season two has achieved its phenomenal global status owing to its characters.

Squid Game' creator Hwang Dong-hyuk and star Lee Jung-jae tell THR how excited they are to be at the 2025 Golden Globes. Plus, Hwang Dong-hyuk reassures fans that they won't have to wait too long for season 3.

Viewers may gasp, cringe or cry out watching characters die on Netflix's “Squid Game,” but those simulated deaths have a different effect on its creator, writer and director. Instead, Hwang Dong-hyuk feels happiness seeing them go.
