[+755, -20] You were the one who ignored us and told us not to cast TOP druggies, so why are you complaining now?

[+457, -6] I think investors should block him from doing interviews in the future. He creates good work, but ruins it as soon as he opens his mouth.

[+253, -5] I mean, you're not an Olympian… We're not obligated to support you no matter what.

[+139, -13] There is so much well-made content in Korea other than 'Squid Game'… It may be disappointing, but there's no need to do it.

[+103, -7] It was just bad timing. 'Squid Game 2' could not beat what was actually happening in Korea at the time.

[+52, -2] I don't think he's ready for bigger things.

[+48, -2] His appearance as if he is trapped in his own world catches the eye.

[+44, -0] That's definitely asking a lot lol Rather than complaining about why Koreans don't support him, why don't we reflect and think about why Koreans react the way we do?

[+40, -2] Is it so wrong to call something boring boring?

[+39, -2] please just shut up

[+34, -4] Because he's so bad at interviews, he ends up causing more controversy every time.

[+27, -0] Koreans are their harshest critics, so the saying goes that whatever succeeds here will succeed on the world stage. Maybe he should think about why Koreans like season 1 and not season 2.

[+20, -0] Yes, Koreans have high standards and that is why Korean culture is the most popular right now.

[+18, -1] Did they cast Drugs and Overdo and expect our support?

[+12, -1] The moment he decided on top casting, didn't he decide to abandon Korean viewers? They knew that foreign audiences would just watch without knowing, so they chose to abandon us.

[+11, -0] Why do you think so many Hollywood films premiere in our country? Because of our critical eyes…

[+9, -1] I think this director is a genius, but I agree that he tends to ruin his own legacy every time he opens his mouth in an interview. Maybe just keeping quiet will help him in the long run…
