Actor Lim Si-wan (37) expressed his fan interest in 'Squid Game'.
On the morning of the 9th, Shim Ji-wan met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and had an interview with Netflix's original series 'Squid Game 2' (played by Hwang Dong-hyuk, directed) and expressed his feelings about the increased popularity. Lim Si-wan " (Instagram) followers grow so fast. It was so cool. I think it's more than 1 million people (than before the Squid Game started). I didn't even have much, and I'm sure the popularity of 'Squid Game' is great.
Lim Si-wan also said, "(Foreigners) say that controversy arises over my age. You look very young, but that's not really surprising. I've heard so many times that I look so young for my age. "My friends around me send me a lot of reactions that I didn't even know I was an idol, which is not surprising. Because I'm an idol. I thought, 'People are just making fun of me again.' It's good to say that he's handsome. It's much better than being ugly. From a long time ago, what actually made me feel good while doing this side of work was a compliment for acting. I think that's when I feel thrilled. Being handsome seems to be a polite word, and when I compliment my acting, I really feel like I'm talking (with my heart). That's not to say I'm ugly, but the more I hear that I'm handsome, the better, but I think I get more pleasure when I evaluate my acting."
"When I was cast in this work, I thought it was a great honor to participate in Season 1 because I saw the script and knew that it was not very large, so I thought it was a great honor to participate in it.I don't think I was disappointed or greedy about the amount. I lived in Season 3, but I can tell you that the relationship between Jun-hee (Cho Yu-ri) and Myung-ki (Tim Si-wan) continues to be intertwined, and more parts are likely to come out" he forewarned.
Lim Si-wan agonized while playing Myung-ki, a character who seems to be good and bad. He "When I took the photograph, I thought a lot about the direction and took it. Whether this person is essentially good or bad. I took it while thinking about the essential concerns of human kindness and badness. I don't know if this person is bad or niceIf you give an evaluation of ', I think it's a compliment for the stipulation. Looking back, I think the director (Hwang Dong-hyuk) is somewhere between good and bad. After all, people are not 100% nice or 100% bad, but they always make choices. Myeong-gi tried to describe a person as a person who doesn't look bad, but who looks bad by making bad choices over and over again", he explained.
Shim Ji-wan "Squid Game" is a work approached from the perspective of fans. Where is your house located?When I asked ', I said 'Cheongdam-dong intersection', it seemed symbolic, as everyone knows. It feels like there is no need for further explanation in the 'Squid Game' rather than saying, 'Where, where, where, where, where, where do you live?' 'Are you busy these days?', 'Why are you busy?'If I say, 'I shoot a squid game', it's all explained, so that's good."
'Squid Game 2' is a story about a fierce battle between 'Gi-hoon'(Lee Jung-jae) who returns to the game after vowing revenge, and 'Frontman'(Lee Byung-hun) who greets him, and a real game that begins again. According to Netflix's Top 10 To Doom website (Netflix Tudum) on the 8th, Season 2 of Squid Game recorded 58,200,000 viewers (viewing time divided by the total running time of the work) from Dec. 30 to Jan. 5, topping the list of top 10 English and non-English integrations in Netflix's global top 10 series.
In addition, Season 2, which ranked seventh in Netflix's all-time most popular series (non-English) within the first week of its release, is surprising as it ranked second with 126,200,000 viewers in 11 days. As a result, seasons 1 and 2 of 'Squid Game' were named in Netflix's most popular series (non-English) category, proving once again that they have become works that receive great attention from all over the world.
