Transcript
00:00You shot the first shot, but you fell backwards.
00:03If you didn't fall, would you have shot one more shot?
00:06No.
00:07You could have pushed it.
00:09Hello, we're the guests of Squid Game Season 2.
00:13We'll answer your questions one by one.
00:19Let's open the questions.
00:22Squid Game Season 2
00:27Q. What is Squid Game?
00:31Lee Byung-hun
00:35Q. What is Squid Game?
00:38I think he's talking about the real Squid Game.
00:40Do you know the game in detail?
00:42Ki-hoon, you should answer.
00:44It's a game that men played a lot.
00:48It's a game where men have to use a lot of strength and push and pull.
00:55I played it a lot when I was young.
00:57It was a martial arts game, right?
01:00It's not a martial arts game.
01:02You draw a line on the ground.
01:04Triangle, circle, square.
01:07Sometimes you run with one foot, sometimes you run with two feet.
01:11You have to go there and come back here to succeed.
01:17Raise your hand if you've ever played a real squid game.
01:27Anyway, Squid Game Season 1 is the last game in the second half.
01:34Ki-hoon and Sang-ho's emotions are very high.
01:40I think it was a game with a lot more suspense than any other game.
01:48I gave you the answer.
01:50What is it?
01:54Please tell me something like that.
01:57The tagger closes his eyes.
02:01While I'm not looking, you have to move fast.
02:05It's not fun if you count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
02:09Mu, Gung, Hwa, Kko, Chi, Pi, Eot, Seum, Ni, Da
02:14I made 10 syllables.
02:16Instead of counting numbers, I made a sentence.
02:23I don't know who made it or when it was made.
02:27Didn't you make it now?
02:29I didn't know it was acting.
02:31I gave you an idea in a hurry.
02:36Daejun?
02:38That's right.
02:40If you look at this drama, it's a deserted island that's very hard to find.
02:44That's why you can't choose the most famous island in Korea like Jeju Island.
02:49There are so many deserted islands in Korea.
02:54It's a very small island in a place where people can't find it.
03:01But regardless of that, we worked hard on the Daejeon set.
03:08Just throw it.
03:10Just throw it?
03:13Yes, this is how it ends.
03:17I was the previous winner.
03:19That's right.
03:21The next winner is here.
03:23How many times did you win?
03:25387 times.
03:32I don't want to go.
03:34I don't want to go.
03:36As I drew it, it became a squid shape.
03:40As I drew the line.
03:42Why?
03:44Because it's the most impactful game that covers the final winner.
03:49Or I think it's the most symbolic game of all the children's games we played when we were young.
03:59Maybe that's why I named it that way.
04:03According to the director,
04:05It's a story about the wrong part of a competitive society
04:10and the gap between those who have it and those who don't.
04:16It's a story about the gap between those who have it and those who don't.
04:21He said it would be fun to combine it with children's games.
04:28It's a work by Director Hwang that I planned a long time ago.
04:33I was talking to another company, not Netflix.
04:36After a long time, I was able to work with Netflix.
04:41Congratulations, Netflix.
04:45You wrote it yourself.
04:47Of course.
04:48It's a game that we all played when we were young.
04:51There are some creative games ready.
04:57I thought it would be the hardest to play a tug-of-war game.
05:02If I were there, I would have died right away when I played tug-of-war.
05:07I like the glass sword.
05:11That's the best.
05:12It was so cool to break the glass later.
05:16I was heartbroken because Sae-byeok got hurt.
05:18But if you think about it, I don't think there's a game that's not difficult.
05:21Because it's a game that's all about life.
05:23The twist of the squid game.
05:25It's a twist of a twist.
05:30I don't think I can say it's a twist once or twice.
05:36I think it's a drama with a lot of twists.
05:41I think there were a lot of twists from the beginning.
05:45The main villain would be the frontman.
05:49I think the frontman is also the middle man.
05:52There were VIPs on top of Mr. Oh Il-nam.
05:56The fact that the VIPs made a squid game.
06:00And the fact that they demand it.
06:03I think they're the villains.
06:07Isn't it the frontman?
06:08I think there's more on top of that.
06:13That's right. It was my first experience as a participant.
06:18Someone made a system before that.
06:23There must be VIPs who support it.
06:28I don't know who they are.
06:30I think they're the ones who have the same hair as Director Hwang Dong-hyuk.
06:34Maybe it'll be in season 3 or 4.
06:40It's called Sony PlayStation.
06:44There's no X yet.
06:47I've heard this question a lot.
06:51The hair salon asked me to dye my hair pink.
06:55I'm not good at it, so I think it's red.
06:59At that time, I didn't ask the director why it was red.
07:05That's how I got a lot of imagination.
07:10I'm just answering differently depending on the mood.
07:16I'm in a good mood today.
07:18I think it's a color that Ki-hoon wanted to do.
07:23As you said, what would it have been like if it was pink?
07:27I don't think I'd even want to remember it.
07:33Doing the worst thing a human being can't do.
07:37I think it's to hide yourself from being excited and happy while watching it.
07:46I think it's a part that reveals the duality of human beings,
07:54who enjoy the scariest and cruelest things in the world while keeping their own privacy.
08:01Actors
08:03Answer
08:04AI
08:05The subordinates under the frontman
08:11I think it would have been prepared with well-trained guards.
08:20It could have been.
08:22I don't think I would have bought something delicious with that.
08:26If I had bought something delicious, I would have taken the money to my daughter.
08:31I didn't take the plane to my daughter.
08:34I turned around and said,
08:36I'm sure you'll find it.
08:40I think I'll spend a lot of money to find it.
08:44It's true that I didn't give Jung-bae a penny.
08:48To my friend's mother,
08:50Sang-woo asked for it.
08:53Sae-byeok also asked for his brother.
08:56I kept all those promises.
09:01I think you can watch the drama first.
09:05If you turn on the squid game series, you can find out.
09:12One, two, three.
09:16I fell into the sea, but I don't know if I'm alive.
09:19I don't know if my brother shot me and shot me to death.
09:24Everyone knows Jun-ho is on this side.
09:31I'm the front man wearing a black mask.
09:37Can I tell you today?
09:39I'm guessing, too.
09:41Before I joined the squid game as a participant,
09:46I went to the bottom of my life.
09:49What I've been through while playing the squid game while I'm a winner,
09:55I think it was an experience that made me lose the hope I felt in the world.
10:02So I couldn't get out of the world.
10:05I think it was a choice to stay in it.
10:15It's one of the questions that changes depending on the day.
10:19Sometimes I go to the bathroom.
10:21I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, so I didn't get on the plane.
10:26I didn't like the seat, so I just bought a plane for 456.
10:31I'm going to go when I have time later.
10:34I can't go to my daughter with that money.
10:40I've heard a lot about the conscience of Ki-eun.
10:45I can't keep watching the situation.
10:51I think I had a lot of thoughts.
10:54I think that's why season 2 was more interesting.
10:58Didn't you have a conscience when you made a reservation for the plane and went to the airport?
11:07You're coming in deep.
11:09You're coming in deep.
11:12I'm going to infiltrate and watch the whole situation.
11:17I took all the clothes out of the square mask.
11:25I think it's a very terrible and shocking scene.
11:32It's also one of the saddest memories.
11:38I was in a partnership with my co-workers.
11:42All the employees quit.
11:46Ki-eun couldn't get a job.
11:50She was divorced.
11:52She had to meet her daughter while watching her stepfather.
11:55I think it was a very bad situation.
12:02One, two, three.
12:03Police
12:05Before the frontman joined the game, he had a job as a detective.
12:10Jun-ho grew up with the dream of becoming a police officer like his brother.
12:18Eventually, he got a job as a police officer.
12:23Jun-ho's story
12:26You must have threatened the VIP to bite the game.
12:33At first, the VIP tried to use Jun-ho sexually.
12:37He went into a small room and said,
12:39Season 1 is out.
12:41If I tell you that much, you'll know everything.
12:46It's 45.6 billion won.
12:49You're calculating the exchange rate with dollars these days.
12:5230 million dollars
12:5430 million dollars
12:56I have a question.
12:59It's 45.6 billion won.
13:01But you didn't die.
13:03Isn't it 45.5 billion won?
13:05If only the dead are considered
13:07No, I didn't die, so I'll take it.
13:09Are you giving me a bonus?
13:11No, if you think the participants gave 100 million won each,
13:1845.6 billion won is in the piggy bank.
13:24If you look at it, you'll die.
13:26Isn't my neck in there, too?
13:30If it's the number of people who died,
13:32I'm alive, so I thought I should cut my work.
13:34The director's important...
13:38There's a very important problem with the success or failure of this squid game.
13:45It was very fresh and fun today.
13:48I think it was more fun and fun to be with a lot of actors.
13:52It was a quiz-like question and answer.
13:55I don't know what you think.
13:57Thank you so much for watching.
