[Kulture Issue] Squid Game Season 3: analysis and response

Game over.

Korea's most successful Netflix series that took the world by storm, Squid Game, has finally wrapped up its epic journey with Season 3. Let's see how the reactions have been so far. For that, we are joined by Jae Soh, Professor and filmmaker at Seoul Institute of the Arts. Hello Professor Soh!

Q1. There was much anticipation ahead of the release, and fans around the world were quick to watch through the six-episode series. Squid Game 3 claimed the top spot on Netflix worldwide within a day of its release. Professor Soh, what did you think of the final installment, and how has the local and overseas response been so far?

Q2. What was season 3 about and without giving too much away, do you think it was a good way to end the series?

Q3. Was there anything that made season 3 different from seasons 1 and 2?

Q4. A variety of actors showed off their impressive acting throughout the seasons. What are some characters that stood out to you? Who would you say received a lot of attention in the third series?

Q5. Professor Soh, after watching and hearing assessments on all three seasons, was there any part that received a different reaction from the audience in Korea and outside Korea?

Q6. 'Squid Game' has become a global phenomenon. What needs to be done for Korean content to continue such global success?

Q7. It's kind of sad that it's the end of the Squid Game series. Is there anything lying ahead for the future of Squid Game, or how will it be remembered? (Possible spin-offs?)

Thank you very much Professor Soh for your insights and analysis.

Thank you Walter as always, see you soon.
