“The games and how the players play and react in them is what I used to do with my friends in my childhood,” he explained.
“This work contains everything from my 50 years of life – memories, experiences, families and friends; all the characters’ names come from my friends, including Seong Gi-hun. Thus, this work is personal and Korean.
“But I was certain that, at the same time, they are similar experiences, memories and feelings that everyone around the world can share.
“We have all once indulged ourselves in the games and now, all grown up, we are growing weary from the big game of survival.”
Squid Game is available to stream on Netflix.
