Director Hwang Dong-hyuk and lead actor Lee Jung-jae of 'Squid Game' Season 2 will depart for LA today (3rd) to attend the 82nd Golden Globe Awards.

The Golden Globe Awards, which will be held on the 5th (local time), is a prestigious awards ceremony for world movies and American TV dramas. Season 2 of `Squid Game' will compete fiercely with Disney+'s 'Shogun', Netflix's 'Diplomat', Apple TV+'s 'Slow Hossys', Prime Video's 'Mr & Mrs Smith' and Peekock's 'The Day of the Jackal.

Previously, season 1 of 'Squid Game' was nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor for TV Drama at the 79th Golden Globe in 2022, and Oh Young-soo won the Best Supporting Actor Award, raising the status of Korean content.




Season 2 has been gaining worldwide popularity since its release on December 26. According to the global OTT ranking aggregation site 'FlixPatrol', Season 2 ranked No. 1 on Netflix in 93 countries within two days of its release, and has continued its momentum for five days.

Attention is focusing on how season 2 of 'Squid Game' will achieve at the Golden Globe Awards. However, some view the possibility of winning the award as Season 2 plays a role as a stepping stone leading to Season 3.

Meanwhile, Season 3 of 'Squid Game' will be released on Netflix in the second half of this year.
