[+755, -20] You're the one who chose to ignore us when we told you not to cast that druggie TOP so why complain now..

[+457, -6] I think investors need to block him from doing interviews in the future. He produces good work but ruins it by running his mouth.

[+253, -5] I mean, you aren't the Olympics... we're not obligated to support you no matter what.

[+139, -13] Korea has soooo much well-produced content aside from 'Squid Game'... you can be disappointed, but we don't have to do anything about it..

[+103, -7] It was just bad timing. 'Squid Game 2' could not beat what was happening in reality in our country at the time.

[+52, -2] He doesn't seem ready for bigger things

[+48, -2] It's a turn off how he seems trapped in his own world

[+44, -0] He's sure asking for a lot ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ instead of whining about why Koreans aren't supportive of him, why not reflect and think about why Koreans are reacting the way we are

[+40, -2] Is it so wrong to call something that's boring boring?

[+39, -2] Please just shut up

[+34, -4] He is so terrible at interviews, just ends up creating more controversies at every turn

[+27, -0] There's the saying that Koreans are the harshest critics so anything that works here is bound for success on the world stage. Maybe he should reflect on why Koreans loved season one and not season two.

[+20, -0] Yeah, because Koreans have high standards, which is why Korean culture is at the top of the game right now

[+18, -1] He really expected our support after casting a druggie and a p*do?

[+12, -1] Didn't he resolve to throwing away Korean viewers the second he decided to cast TOP? He knew that the foreign audience wouldn't know and would just watch anyway so he chose to throw us away.

[+11, -0] Why do you think so many Hollywood works do first screenings in our country? Because of our critical eye...

[+9, -1] I consider this director a genius but I do agree that he tends to ruin his legacy every time he opens his mouth in interviews. Perhaps just staying quiet will help him in the long run...
