that “ill be back… with season 2 thank you” WAS PHENOMENAL

[ksb]

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!

this is very well deserved. first episode made it the most watched show on netflix ever, huge accomplishment.

[HermioneSideChick]

He’s so adorable and this speech was everything ❤️❤️

[stevelouie]

This guy is no fluke. He went to USC for school which is a top film school. He even won a student Emmy. He's the Korean Quentin Tarintimo.

"I hope 'Squid Game' will not be the last non-english series to be here at the Emmys"

💯 Well deserved
Squid Game was phenomenal

[KRYoung_dev]

So, so, so deserved. Unbelievable show, unbelievable directing, and he even wrote it, too. All the effort he put in was insane, he is a genius. It feels so good to see Korean entertainment getting recognized in America.

[LegionIvory]

This was definitely one of the most deserved Emmys of the night. That scene was so incredibly well done.

Director Hwang doesn't need a translator lol. Anyway, can't deny the brilliance of his storytelling and execution. Can't wait for Season 2!

[whatisilyionlyknowipurpleyou]

This is very much deserved. Studied in the US for film school despite the language barrier, and went through struggles of trying to make his dream become a reality. I believe he said Squid Game took him a whopping 10 years? Because it was being dismissed for so long, until he did it! Very much deserved! I’m loving the diversity, the inclusivity. So proud of him, we’ll be waiting for Season 2! 🙏💗
