In an interview with Herald POP held at a cafe in Seogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, director Hwang Dong-hyuk said,
The director shared his thoughts on finishing the series, saying, "I feel relieved, but also sad. I've been working on this project for six years. It was difficult to pour my life into one project for such a long time, but I'm glad I did it.
"I gained success and glory that I didn't expect. That's why it's so memorable," he said. "I wondered when I would receive this much love and attention again, and now that the series is over, I feel lonely.
There was a lot of pressure being in the spotlight, so I feel relieved and at ease knowing that it's finally over."
He also said, "Nearly 30 actors from season 1 gathered at the event.
I felt strangely warm inside when I saw it. I realized that I had done it with a lot of people. It was even more meaningful because we held this event at the end of season 3. It felt like a long journey had come to an end.
I felt very emotional. We had a wrap-up party and everyone told me to be happy. It was a place where I prayed that he would become an even better actor through his experiences."
At the same time, "Long series like 'Friends' tend to be quite light-hearted. 'Squid Game' is a tense story, so I don't think it's easy to make it long-term. I don't think it will be easy to use the game any more.
"I squeezed out so much that there were no games left. I've personally given up all the messages I wanted to convey, so I don't think there's any point in continuing," he emphasized.
He also said, "It would be better to create a side story that doesn't burden you later.
I wanted to try a story about my private life. In season 3, there is a photo of Captain Park at his house of fishing, and there is not only Menkoman but also the front man. It's like an Easter egg.
I put them in the role half innocent, but I think it would be interesting to see what kind of relationship they have and to look at the outside world. I think it might be possible to have such a story without too much pressure."
