The 'Squid Game: The Experience', which allows fans to become participants in the game, has received enthusiastic responses in cities such as New York, London, Madrid, Sydney, and Seoul, and it is expected that over 500,000 people will visit by the end of summer. The parade finale fan event, scheduled for Saturday, June 28 in Seoul, is anticipated to gather thousands of fans as representatives from seasons 1 through 3 are expected to attend.
Meanwhile, a video containing the true final story of 'Squid Game' Season 3 will be released simultaneously with its premiere. This video, consisting of an interview with the series' director Hwang Dong-hyuk and actors Lee Jung-jae and Park Hae-soo (Note: It seems there was a mix-up in the original text, as it mentioned Lee Byung-hun instead of Park Hae-soo, who is the correct actor for the role of 'Frontman'), includes behind-the-scenes stories from the shoot, memorable games, and various emotions felt while directing and acting out the characters. It features honest accounts directly from the director and cast members. Additionally, it offers a deeper dive into the series by examining the choices and decisions made by the cast from season 1 to season 3, the grand narrative of Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and Frontman (Park Hae-soo), providing a reflective journey throughout the series. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk expressed his hope that 'Squid Game' would be cherished and remembered amidst the flood of content, and he thanked fans worldwide for their love. Featuring the final greetings from Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, Lee Jung-jae, and Park Hae-soo, 'The Story of Squid Game' is anticipated to provide solace and a profound aftertaste regarding the last season.
