'Squid Game' actor reveals being 'so happy' for death scene; Here's why!

Korean actor Jung Ho-Yeon, who played Kang Sae-Byeok in ‘Squid game’ revealed to be more ‘happy’ and ‘comfortable’ while filming the character’s death scene.

Ho-Yeon as North Korean defector Sae-Byeok in Netflix’s dystopian drama, ‘Squid game’ opens up about the character’s death on the show that left millions of fans emotional.

Speaking with senior actress Sandra Oh, Ho-Yeon said, “Maybe it’s weird to say, but while filming my death scene, I was very happy,” adding that it was the ‘most comfortable scene’ for her. .

Elaborating on her statement, she stated, “It’s because I’ve been living with my character for a few months, and then there’s a point where I have to let her go, and I feel like I can happily let her go because I can understand.”

“Maybe not completely, but I am the one who can understand her the most in this world, so I know her stress and I know what her life was like. [such a] fight and hard. So it wasn’t that bad or that sad,” Ho-Yeon concluded.

Although Jung Ho-Yeon’s Kang died in the launch season, she is expected to return for season 2 of the survival series as Kang’s twin. “Most of them are dead. I’ll try something to bring them back to season 2,” the creators hinted in a previous interview before using Jung as an example. “Let’s say maybe she has a twin sister, you’ll see.”

It is pertinent to mention that Ho-Yeon made history at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards by taking “Best Performance by an Actress in a Drama Series” for ‘Squid game’among the nominees Jennifer Aniston, Elisabeth Moss, Sarah Snook and Reese Witherspoon.
