Kang HaNeul, ”I thought the scene where Lee Jung glares at me in 'Squid Game 3' was scary, but it's strange that it became a meme.”
Kang HaNeul expressed his satisfaction with the successful conclusion of the "Squid Game" series. Kang HaNeul will be playing the game in seasons 2 and 3 of the Netflix series "Squid Game."
He plays the role of Dae-ho, who looks up to his brother, Ki-hoon (played by Lee Jung Jae), and continues to play the game with his unique friendliness and boldness. However, Dae-ho is scared of death after the failed coup d'état and is forced to leave Ku.
He is the one who starts to avoid Ki-hoon, the leader of the data exchange. During this process, the scene where Ki-hoon glares at Dae-ho drew unexpected laughs and even became a meme.
In a recent interview with Herald POP at a cafe in Seogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul,
Kang HaNeul expressed her gratitude for the love shown to "Squid Game 3." "Squid Game 3" had 15.9 million views (the viewing time was the total running time of the work) from the 7th to the 13th, the third week of the year.
The song is still in the top 10 in 93 countries, demonstrating its explosive popularity.
I'm glad it went well. I personally gained a lot from this production, so I'm very grateful." He continued, "I didn't know anything about what happened after I died. I wasn't even able to go to the set, so I didn't know anything about it.
I was curious about what was going on. I was also curious about what the next game would be, and it was fun to watch. I even forgot that I hadn't appeared since the middle of season 3."
Kang HaNeul also said, "When I was on set watching the scene where Ki Hoon glares at me, I looked over his shoulder at the monitor and it was really scary. It's scary even when I watch it in the drama, so I hope the viewers will see it like that."
"I thought it was strange that I was being used in memes," he said. He also emphasized, "I have no complaints about the amount of screen time I had. Personally, I think the ending of Daeho was good."
Meanwhile, the Netflix movie "84m2," in which Kang HaNeul plays a passionate character, is about Woosung (played by Kang HaNeul), who has successfully built his own castle in an 84m2 apartment, but is plagued by an unidentified noise.
An unpredictable thriller that will be available exclusively on Netflix from July 18th.
