Netflix’s biggest hit series, The Squid Game, is getting ready to return for a second season. However, the casting of Top (Choi Seung Hyun), an ex-Big Bang member with a drug conviction, has been met with criticism, and now the show is facing growing viewer dissatisfaction due to the controversy over the filming location.
Mr. A is angry with the staff
On the afternoon of July 11, a post appeared in an online community titled “I saw a Squid Game 2 staffer who thought yesterday’s shoot was nerve-wracking. “I saw him filming with actor Lee Jung-jae at Incheon Airport yesterday during the day,” the writer said.
But what they experienced wasn’t just witnessing the filming of The Squid Game 2. “A staff member stopped people trying to use the escalator and told them to go elsewhere with very harsh and unpleasant commands,” he added.
Mr. A didn’t hide his displeasure at this. “If they were inconveniencing passengers at Incheon Airport, they should have apologized for the filming, asked for their understanding, and used polite language.” He also expressed outrage, saying, “The staff member was giving orders that were offensive to people and never apologized.”
Casting Controversy
The Squid Game, which premiered in September 2021, captivated audiences around the world and became the biggest hit in Netflix’s history. Now, every move in “Squid Game 2” is the center of attention. But last month, controversy erupted when Netflix included Top and Choi’s names on a list of actors it released.
Squid Game 2 began filming in July, and it was reported that lead actor Lee Jung-jae and others were filming back and forth between Seoul and Incheon. However, along with this news, the controversy over the filming location has erupted, once again drawing criticism from netizens.
Netizens reacted strongly to Mr. A’s post, criticizing him with comments such as “Did you charter Incheon Airport?”, “Where did he learn to talk like that?”, and “If you don’t talk cheap, you’ll get angry”.
What are viewers complaining about?
In the end, “The Squid Game” Season 2 will have to see if it can silence these complaints and deliver a successful season, and the eyes of the viewers will be on it. The casting controversy, the filming location shenanigans, and how all of this will affect Netflix and the success of “The Squid Game” Season 2, we’ll have to wait and see.
