Hwang Dong-hyuk's Squid Game Season 2 Premieres Soon

Hwang Dong-hyuk, the creator of Netflix's 'Squid Game', revealed that the intense stress from producing the show's first season led to him losing eight or nine teeth. Although initially reluctant to continue the series due to health impacts, Hwang decided to produce a second season for financial compensation and to complete the story. The first season became Netflix's most-watched show ever, highlighting issues of wealth inequality through its dystopian narrative. Season two, premiering December 26, introduces new characters and challenges, with returning protagonist Gi-hun aiming to dismantle the deadly games. Despite the global success, Hwang expressed that the stress of meeting high expectations for the sequel is even greater. The series continues to resonate with audiences, reflecting ongoing societal divisions and the enduring impact of economic struggles.
