Actor Park Hae-soo revealed what has changed after the success of 'Squid Game'.
On the 14th, Park Hae-soo appeared as a guest on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block'.
On this day, Park Hae-soo mentioned that he has appeared in seven Netflix works, including 'Squid Game', 'Money Heist', 'Narco-Saints', and 'Bad Relationship', and is referred to as a 'Netflix civil servant', saying, "There are a few more coming out in the future."
When Yoo Jae-suk expressed surprise, asking, "Did you sign a separate contract with Netflix?", Park Hae-soo jokingly replied, "Not yet."
As a true Netflix civil servant, Park Hae-soo calls his son 'Squid Boy', stating, "On September 17, 2021, at 4 PM, 'Squid Game' was released. My son was born at 4:10 PM on the same day."
His 'Squid Boy' son is already 5 years old. Park Hae-soo said, "His face changes a little over time, but I feel that his attitude and behavior resemble me a lot. When he looks at toys in the store, he puts his hands in his pockets and leans on Pororo. Sometimes it surprises me," he laughed.
Meanwhile, Park Hae-soo reflected on his 10 years of being unknown. Debuting on stage in 2007, it took him 10 years to expand his activities into the media. After 10 years of debuting, he gained recognition through 'Prison Playbook', saying, "I think it's a miraculous thing. Director Shin Won-ho and writer Lee Woo-jung must have found it challenging to take on this project, but they readily agreed. It's amazing that Jung Kyung-ho, who usually took on lead roles, came out as a friend of the protagonist. I'm grateful that such a work was my first leading role."
Recalling his audition, Park Hae-soo said, "At first, I didn't even know I was the protagonist. They gave me the script and asked me to read the character Kim Je-hyuk. I kept wondering why I was coming out so much. (After passing) Director Shin Won-ho told me to broaden my shoulders as much as possible. So I worked out like my life depended on it."
Afterward, Park Hae-soo became a global star with 'Squid Game'. When asked if anything has changed before and after 'Squid Game', he humorously replied, "I've become a bit arrogant."
