As a fervent admirer of Hwang Dong-hyuk, I must say his dedication and resilience are truly inspiring. The man has lost no less than nine teeth from stress while creating one of the most successful series in Netflix history, yet he continues to push forward with unwavering determination.
The creator of “Squid Game,” Hwang Dong-hyuk, admitted that financial gain served as the primary incentive for developing Season 2 of the popular Netflix show, even though he endured the loss of several teeth due to stress during the production of the initial season.
During a June 2022 interview with EbMaster, following the massive success of “Squid Game” Season 1, Hwang Duk-hong confessed that eight to nine of his teeth had fallen out during the initial filming. Later, in an interview with the BBC prior to the release of Season 2 next month, he corrected this statement, saying it was actually eight or nine teeth that were lost.
Due to the negative impact the series was having on his stress and health, Hwang initially decided not to create another season. However, he later reconsidered when he considered the financial benefit a new installment of the survival horror series could provide for him.
Though the initial series became an unprecedented global phenomenon, I didn’t reap significant profits from it. Therefore, working on the second series will not only provide me with compensation for the success of the first one but also allow me to complete the story that was left unfinished,” he shared with the BBC.
In Season 2, we find Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456 (played by Lee Jung-jae), returning to the Squid Game following his victory at the end of Season 1. Now aware of the true nature of the game, he embarks on a mission to rescue other players and persuade them to withdraw from the game permanently, with the hope of ending this deadly competition once and for all.
After “Squid Game’s” first season broke Netflix’s record as their most successful show at that point in time, Hwang expressed to BBC that the pressure he now experiences is significantly greater. Despite not having any more teeth fall out yet, he concluded the interview by predicting that he may soon have to extract a few more.
“Squid Game” Season 2 premieres Dec. 26 on Netflix.
