Squid Game completely changed the trajectory of Park Hae-Soo’s career
In his recent interview, Park Hae-Soo was asked what drew him to Squid Game and the character of Cho Sang-Woo. He replied,
“I would have to say there are multiple reasons why I wanted to join Squid Game. First of all, the subject material was just so intriguing, and the fact that it was a survival game. On top of that, all of the various narratives of the many different characters – their backstories and each of their arcs – were what drew me to the series.”

“What I would love to see is the development of Gi-hun’s character and his relationship with the masked man. That’s one thing I’m looking forward to seeing. As for the games, there are so many traditional Korean childhood games that people haven’t seen yet. I would love to see something like traditional Korean jump rope.”
