Squid Game<\/a> creator Hwang Dong-hyuk\u00a0has spoken about the symbolic use of violence in the Netflix<\/a> series, revealing that it\u2019s intended to reflect our \u201ccompetitive society\u201d.<\/p>\n Speaking at the SBS D Forum in South Korea,\u00a0as reported by\u00a0Yonhap News Agency<\/a>, he said: \u201cI kept asking questions, like who made this competition system in our society and who drives us into a corner? This is the question that I want to ask everybody living in the midst of the pandemic in the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n Hwang continued: \u201cViolence in the show looks very lifelike, but it is figurative and allegorical,\u201d adding that those violent scenes are intended to \u201cmirror people who run into a dead end after failing to survive the competitive society\u201d.<\/p> The South Korean filmmaker recently confirmed a Squid Game season two, telling Associated Press<\/a> that fans left him with \u201cno choice\u201d but to bring Squid Game back for a second run.<\/p>\n \u201cThere will indeed be a second season. It\u2019s in my head right now. I\u2019m in the planning process currently. But I do think it\u2019s too early to say when and how that\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n The survival drama became Netflix\u2019s biggest show launch ever<\/a> when it arrived on our screens at the end of September, catapulting South Korean star Lee Jung-jae (who led the Squid Game cast<\/a>) to global fame.<\/p>\n It originally took Hwang over 10 years to get Squid Game to our screens<\/a>, which would explain why the show was originally advertised as a limited series only.<\/p>\n Squid Game is now available to watch on Netflix.
