The drama series has been a global phenomenon since its premiere on September 17, 2021. People worldwide got “Squid Game” fever and stuck with everything related to the series. Even Steven Spielberg finished the series in three days, and he gave compliments to director Hwang Dong Hyuk for his works.
Steven Spielberg told #SquidGame creator Hwang Dong-hyuk that he wanted to pick his brain: “He was my hero. I grew up watching his films… He said, ‘I finished the episodes in three days.’ That was the best compliment I ever got.” https://t.co/YlAM9sXfmR pic.twitter.com/3fQKSYqTIF

Alan Kim of “Minari” Meets Squid Game Squad
Last year, “Minari,” a film by Lee Isaac Chung that follows the story of a Korean family who immigrated to the U.S. The film got nominated in ten categories. Unfortunately, only child-actor Alan Kim won the “Best Young Actor” award.
At the event, Alan Kim met with the cast and director of “Squid Game.” And of course, on the special occasion, they did not miss the opportunity to capture their togetherness.
Seeing them together, we can agree that even though they come from different generations, they have incredible talents and achievements in introducing the Korean wave, especially Korean movies and series, to the international community through their work.
Your next task is to find someone cuter than Alan Kim 🤩@squidgame x #CriticsChoiceAwards pic.twitter.com/6coDWuejpw
