A production company official said, "'Squid Game' is a monumental work that has raised the prestige of K-content to a new level," and added, "If season 3 fails to be a hit, the K-content market will collapse."
Another production company source said, "If the global interest in K-content is to be sustained, it has to be a hit.
Popular culture critic Kim Hong-sik said, "The more stories there are to be revealed in Season 3, the more likely it will be a hit than Season 2."
Season 2 was criticized for having too many plot developments, but if we condense the editing and show a faster pace, we can regain interest in K-content."
