He first wrote the story more than 20 years ago. No one really paid attention at that time,. The story was too advanced for its time. He was so poor he had to sell his laptop for $600 and had lost 6 teeth due to the hardships he was going through. But wow! He totally deserves it!

[@thinking959]

I mention this just because I am afraid that others will be mistaken, but this is the story of when he first wrote the script for Squid Game. In fact, he was already a successful director who made several hit movies in Korea before making Squid Game

[@xohyuu]

[ He first wrote the story more than 20 years ago ] > ROK state/administration has been conservative on this issue. Japan is open, however, Japanese animation films are too brutal to destroy humanism. | Cầu nguyện cho Ukraine và hòa bình.

[@thinking959]

@@xohyuu I don't know why you're talking about Japan here. He has already been a successful director in Korea for ten years. Regardless of the Japanese animation industry, Korean film directors are already successful if their movies are popular in Korea. The industry treats them differently. He was already a successful film director, even if he didn't make a squid game.

I agree actually and I'm a huge Succession fan. I will say "All The Bells Say" is a complete masterpiece and work of art but it should have won for cinematography (which the Emmys completely snubbed them for a nomination btw unbelievable). This however, captivated me directorial and definitely deserved the award.

I have been always proud of South Korean culture where we try hard to get the bottom of everything, talk about the issues which may bring huge controversies, emphasise deep as about life. I believe when we talk freely about what we really think, have observed in life, even though they may not sound like sugar-coated words, that can be a starting point to move forward with growth that nation can benefit from. And it has been the core energy of South Korea’s success: don’t be afraid to talk about what is not right.
