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!
I mention this just because I am afraid that others will be mistaken, but this is the story of when he first wrote the script for Squid Game. In fact, he was already a successful director who made several hit movies in Korea before making Squid Game
[ He first wrote the story more than 20 years ago ] > ROK state/administration has been conservative on this issue. Japan is open, however, Japanese animation films are too brutal to destroy humanism. | Cầu nguyện cho Ukraine và hòa bình.
@@xohyuu I don't know why you're talking about Japan here. He has already been a successful director in Korea for ten years. Regardless of the Japanese animation industry, Korean film directors are already successful if their movies are popular in Korea. The industry treats them differently. He was already a successful film director, even if he didn't make a squid game.
@@gordonliu3972 Due to the amount of stress he was going through, he lost 6 of his teeth....this just shows how much pressure and burden he had as an aspiring director.
Not to mention it was in the process making for an entire decade because people couldn’t support the idea of it, until he did it. He made history whether he admits it or not, we’ll deserved 👏🏽
"I hope 'Squid Game' will not be the last non-english series to be here at the Emmys" EXACTLY! WE LOVE OUR DIVERSITY, INCLUSIVITY, BARRIER BREAKING KING!!!
This was such a stacked category! I was hoping this one would go to Severance, as it’s one of my favorites, but you really can’t deny the brilliance of Squid Games!!!! So happy for Hwang Dong-hyuk, he truly deserves it!! 🦑🏆
I agree actually and I'm a huge Succession fan. I will say "All The Bells Say" is a complete masterpiece and work of art but it should have won for cinematography (which the Emmys completely snubbed them for a nomination btw unbelievable). This however, captivated me directorial and definitely deserved the award.
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.
If there was every a nationality that would make it first, it would be someone korean. I think Americans feel a kinship with Korea more so than other Asian countries
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! 🙏💗
I’m thrilled that Korean storytelling/entertainment is getting recognition. Congrats to Director Hwang and the Squid Game crew!! As a Korean and a big fan of great stories, you guys have really brought joy for me :)
Congratulations Masterful Director Hwang Dong-hyuk! Squid Game was Amazing. Props to Everyone involved and contributed in this Superb TV Series. Fighting! 💜
this makes me proud 😭 especially when he mentioned “non-English” films to hopefully be recognized in the future as well! loved this, especially since I’m also from a background where English isn’t the first language
While I absolutely adore other nominated series (e.g., succession, severance, Ozark) and I am Korean 😅, Hwang Dong Hyuk is well-deserved for this win, given the magnitude of the impact and sensation that Squid Game caused across the globe, and his role as a creator who helmed the entire process of making this phenomenal show, which he conceived and envisioned the story idea, wrote, and directed every single episode of the show
You know it's a good series worth watching when your mom, who hates reading subtitles, watches it. I mean I was already watching it, but I was surprised when I found out she watches it as well.
Congrats!!! Well deserved. Your script and directing were excellent. Squid game was a joyful entertainment during COVID and this is how entertainment industry should do. Squid game was mega hit in Asia, Europe and America!! Congrats!
English-speaking people should jump the wall of another languages. However, ROK people are not able to success without passing TOEIC examination TT | Миру мир!

@@JustSomeCanadianGuy Oh, OK. That makes sense. Sometimes I'm not in the right space for certain subject matter and it's always there to watch later if I want.
@@michaellim4165, my pal, at that time, i must be at home. [ By the way, Battle Toad may be from ROK according to that comment. It is a ROK expression^^; ]
This makes me want to watch Squid Game all over again. As a very busy person, I normally don't watch hardly anything, and I barely managed to binge-watch this one. And boy, it was so good and so worth it!
I have been always proud of South Korean culture where we try hard to get the bottom of everything, talk about the issues which may bring huge controversies, emphasise deep as about life. I believe when we talk freely about what we really think, have observed in life, even though they may not sound like sugar-coated words, that can be a starting point to move forward with growth that nation can benefit from. And it has been the core energy of South Korea’s success: don’t be afraid to talk about what is not right.
Episode II, it may be close to the reality of ROK ; debtors, scammers, foreign workers, defectors from DPRK, increase of divorce cases, competition and so forth. | Миру мир!
To be fair, this was probably the most enticing pilot I've EVER seen. Succession, "All The Bells Say" and this must have been neck and neck but this is what I would've voted for.
I'm proud of that director. He put a lot of blood sweat and tears into Squid Game and it showed in the final product. I also love how the Cast was there to support all the nominees and winners!

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.
Not to mention it was in the process making for an entire decade because people couldn’t support the idea of it, until he did it. He made history whether he admits it or not, we’ll deserved 👏🏽
That’s amazing. I enjoyed Squid Games and will be checking out his other works.
Yesssss
Tarantino never won an award for Best Directing. So technically, he beats Quentin as a film director.
Plus, He went to SNU (Seoul National University ) which has lots of Genius and is the best university in Korea
