During his acceptance speech, Lee said, "Thank you to the Television Academy, thank you to Netflix and thank you to the director for making realistic problems we all face come to life so creatively on the screen with a great script. Thank you, 'Squid Game' team. Thank you to everyone watching in Korea."

While Squid Game was only supposed to run for one season, its massive popularity has changed that. Lee will be back for Season 2. Lee's character Seong Gi-hun , otherwise known as Number 456, will be seeking revenge in the upcoming season, Hwang told Deadline.
