Squid Game’s director and writer Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed that he lost over six of his teeth while working on the show as a result of the growing stress.
The director opened up about his experience while talking to The Hollywood Reporter.
There he was cited saying, “Yeah, I mean, as you said, this was a nine-episode series and I was the only one who was writing the scripts and directing the whole thing, so it was a really physically, mentally, emotionally challenging task.”
“And the story doesn’t exactly have the simplest concept, so as we were going along, new ideas were coming to me, or I would see flaws that I felt needed to be corrected, so I was, in fact, revising the script as I was filming the whole series.”
He concluded by saying, “So that’s partly why I had a huge amount of stress, which led to me losing six teeth during production, which I’ve mentioned in some other interviews
