Actor Heo Sung-tae said he predicted Squid Game's success was all or nothing.
On the 23rd, a new video titled "여기가 '주둥아리' 맞나요? 남다른 허당미로 매력 발산 제대로 한 '허블리' 허성태의 위풍당당 주연 배우 도전기" was released on the YouTube channel 'Jo Dongari'.
That day Kim Yong-man said, "I always saw Heo Sung-tae's acting as very intense. When the camera closes up on a big screen, it's intense. He's more intense and despicable than anyone I've seen. Especially in Squid Game, he's the epitome of vileness," he marveled.
Hearing this, Ji Seok-jin said, "It's a pity he died in Squid Game and couldn't appear in seasons 2 and 3," and Heo Sung-tae replied, "I don't feel any regret at all."
Ji Seok-jin asked, "Why don't you feel regret? It's a global hit," and Heo Sung-tae explained, "If I die, that work does well. Starting from Tunnel, then Miljeong, Squid Game Season, The Outlaws, they all succeeded after I died."
Kim Yong-man asked, "When you were filming Squid Game, did you have a sense this was going to blow up?" and Heo Sung-tae answered candidly, "To be honest, I thought it would either flop or be a huge hit."
Heo Sung-tae said, "Will people around the world understand Korea's traditional children's games?" and added, "On the contrary, I think the director felt that aspect made it uniquely likely to succeed."
