"As you saw in the end of the second season, all of Gi-hun's (Lee Jung-jae) attempts go to failure. And so season 3 picks up from there and you will get to see what kind of changes Gi-hun goes through when he's just riddled with this guilt and sense of despair and loss and what's going to happen to him after that, so that's what you'll get in the third season," he shared.

The director further highlighted: "When you look at Squid Game for example, it is a very violent, deadly, and brutal game but even while these deadly games are being played there are moments where you get genuine laughter so because you feel such a wide range of emotions in one story I think the power that Korean stories have is that you make the audience laugh, cry and get angry all the same time."
