In an interview with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 9th, Yim Siwan talked about his relationship with the actors during an interview with the original Netflix series 'Squid Game 2' (played by Hwang Dong-hyuk). Yim Siwan "The most curious point was how the seniors handled the scene." While doing this work, I think I saw the seniors dealing with the scene naturally. I wonder if that will help me."
Yim Siwan "Song Young-chang is quite old, but considering the age difference alone, it could have been difficult to close the gap in the conversation, but the senior first solved such a problem. Song Young-chang was the one who could make the atmosphere relaxed when a lot of actors gathered. First of all, he brought up the conversation, and he showed me pictures and boasted that he is cultivating fields these days, and he created a place where we can chat comfortably and have fun together. I think it helped make the scene comfortable. Of course, I want to be (like a senior), but I can't go to the field."

'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.
