Kang Ha-neul Opens Up About His “Perfect Death” in Squid Game 3



Actor Kang Ha-neul told the behind-the-scenes story of Season 3 of 'Squid Game'.

On the 11th, the Netflix Korea channel released a video titled 「"Sky Thinking: I felt relieved to hear the noise between floors | I'm here to promote 84 square meters | Netflix"

The guest that Yoo Byung-jae will interview on this day is Kang Ha-neul. Kang Ha-neul is considered an actor who works like a cow by releasing new works every month to the extent that 'Monthly Kang Ha-neul' has recently become a nickname.




Kang Ha-neul laughed, `The results of the past two and a half years have been released sequentially because they have been concentrated recently.' `The timing of the release is not decided by me.'

In addition to the Netflix series 'Squid Game' Season 3, Kang Ha-neul released five works in a row, including 'Streaming'Opposition' released in April, the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Your Taste' and 'First Ride' to be released next year.

As for the behind-the-scenes story of the "Squid Game", the casting process was kept confidential. I was surprised to see Lim Si-wan for the first time during the test shoot without knowing who was casted.' The two have a deep relationship with their past rookie work 'Misaeng'.

Kang Ha-neul was the only one who knew the casting. Other actors' movements were different. He said, "I'm going to leave because the shooting ended early, but he said he couldn't because the line overlapped."

In the play, the master of air played instead by the master of air in the air scene "I'm not born with a little finger. If you put air on the back of your hand, it will fall unconditionally. It was so amazing that a master of air came and he was fast as if he had fast-forwarded from stage 1 to stage 5. He also showed us a trick in the background. The air with both hands, the eyes closed, and the air were so cool."

When Yoo Byung-jae asked "So did you give another gift like "Midamjagi?", Kang Ha-neul said "If anyone could give you a substitute for yourself, I'd appreciate it and give it to you."




"I think I died well when it was appropriate for me to come to an intense end in season three of "Squid Game"." There is nothing to be desired. It was hard to film because "There was no script after my death, so I didn't know anything about the plot afterward. Watching the broadcast, I think it must have been really hard to jump the line in the back. I think it was the perfect death" he laughed.
