Park Kyu-young met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 2nd and interviewed Netflix's original series 'Squid Game 3' (written and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk). Park Kyu-young said "I didn't have a lot of gods in the given situation, but I think I did my best to express what I had to put in it as a sunset and the movement I had to show." I'm not sure how you saw it, but I think I did my best in the part of the sunset, and there is a part where I feel cool to finally show you the end."
Park Kyu-young also responded to viewers' comments that he did not understand the scene of Noeul trying to save Kyung-seok (Lee Jin-wook) in the play, saying, `In fact, it seems that the intention to rescue Kyung-seok was not all about that part. It seems that Kyung-seok, like himself, was seen as a person in crisis who could lose his daughter. Noeul was also a person who had a strong will to recover his daughter, so he may have deeply sympathized with Kyung-seok's situation, and I think that the hope of saving Kyung-seok's child by saving Kyung-seok may have been a projection of his situation. In fact, I hope you understand that Kyung-seok's narrative proceeded by synchronizing his feelings for his daughter and his feelings for his lost daughter rather than his motivation to save a character.
Some joked that "Isn't it because he's handsome?" In response, Park Kyu-young said "Even among the production team, 'Would he have fallen in love if he saw the sunset so hard?" But rather than that, I think you can think of it as a synchronization of your deepest-established emotions.'
