Actor Lee Jung-jae and others will be leaving on the 3rd (today) to attend the 82nd Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles.
The Golden Globe Awards are an annual awards ceremony for movies from around the world and American TV series.
The awards ceremony will be held on the 5th (local time). "Squid Game 2" was unusually nominated for the Golden Globe for Best TV Series before it was even officially aired.
Competing titles include Disney+'s TV series "SHOGUN" starring Hiroyuki Sanada, Netflix's "The Diplomat," and Apple
TV+ series "Spy at the Window" and Amazon Prime VideoTV Series "Mr. & Mrs.
Smith, and the Peacock STREAM TV Series "The Day of the Jackal." Expectations for "The Squid Game 2" are high, and this year's Golden Globe
There are some modest predictions that the Best Drama award will be a showdown between Japan and Korea. "SHOGUN" won a record 18 awards at the Emmy Awards held last September.
This is because "Shogun" is considered a strong contender for the award.
Previously, "Squid Game" Season 1 will be screened at the 79th Golden Globe Awards in 2022.
" was nominated in three categories, including Best TV Drama, Best Actor (Lee Jung), and Best Supporting Actor (Oh Young Soo).
Of these, Oh Young-Soo was the first Korean actor to win the Best Supporting Actor award.
2022 is also the first year that a Korean film or TV series has been nominated in a major category at the Golden Globes.
The Golden Globes have always had a tendency to be exclusive of non-English speaking works.
Until 2021, if more than 50% of the dialogue is not in English, the film will be classified as a foreign language film.
"The Semi-Subterranean Family" (2019) and director Chung Isak's "Minari" (2021), both won the Best Foreign Language Film award.
Since then, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which had been the body that presented the awards, has been subject to a boycott by the film industry due to allegations of corruption, leading to major reforms.
The number of judges who vote for the selection has tripled to 300, and the number of former member countries has also increased to more than 70 countries across six continents.
"Squid Game 2," released on December 26 last year, was a big hit despite receiving harsh criticism from many foreign media.
During its first week of release, the fourth week of December (23rd to 29th), it was watched for nearly 500 million hours worldwide, making it one of the most-watched content on Netflix.
Not only did it take the top spot, but it also recorded the highest viewing time, breaking the previous record of 448.73 million hours set by Season 1.
