Gentlemen, congratulations on three epic seasons of television.
00:05
How emotional is it to say goodbye to this show?
00:11
Of course, because Kiyoon is a character that I stayed with and concentrated with for such a long time throughout all three seasons.
00:17
It's hard to say goodbye. It's also a first character that I've played for such a long time,
00:21
as well as the first character I have got so much love and support from global fans.
00:26
So I'm very sad to say goodbye. He's a very special character.
00:31
Speaking of this love and support globally, do you guys remember where you were or what you were doing when this exploded,
00:39
when this show gripped the imaginations of not just South Korea but the whole world?
00:44
I was in a casino in Korea. I was playing Blackjack there.
00:49
Because the first week and the first weekend of Squid Game Season 1,
00:52
the reviews from Korean media was not that great.
00:56
I mean, they didn't like this show.
00:59
So I was depressed. So I went to the casino in Korea.
01:02
I was killing time there.
01:04
And I checked the internet using my cell phone and I watched all those reactions,
01:10
replies from all of the people from the world about the show.
01:14
I found they loved it.
01:16
So that was like a mixed moment. You know what I'm saying?
01:20
Lee, the world, the fans of the world have really embraced this show like very few others over the last few years.
01:28
How has those fan interactions been? How's your experience with the fans?
01:31
The dressing up, the games, the fan clubs, the fan art, all this stuff which has come,
01:36
the way the world's embraced it the last three years?
01:38
I know that recently, especially, I'm seeing a lot of amazing memes from the fans.
01:44
I love them all. I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for those crazy memes.
01:48
And I'm going to expect some more from season three.
01:50
And finally, with a show so popular, so loved now,
01:59
was it not tempting just to keep going and do more and do more?
02:04
It would be a lie if I didn't think about it.
02:07
I think when you watch it, you'll understand.
02:11
I believe that the ending that we have come up with is the ending that fits with Game the Best.
02:15
And I'm sure you will agree once you watch the show.
02:18
We'll see you next time.
02:19
We'll see you next time.
