Netflix’s “squid game” ended, and now the creator of the Hwang Dong-Hyuk series opens with the real resemblances of his bad guys.
During a recent discussion with Time, Hwang said it was difficult not to think of the founder of Tesla, Elon Musk, writing on the VIPs of the show, who act as sinister spectators (and rich in exuberat) for fatal games.
“Elon Musk is everywhere these days, right? Everyone talks about him,” said Hwang. “Not only is he the head of a huge technological business that almost controls the world, but he is also this showman. After writing [Season 3]Of course, I said to myself: “Oh, some of the VIPs somehow resemble Elon Musk.” “”
While sitting at the edge of the court during the first two seasons, VIPs actually participate in matches for season 3. As explained by Hwang, “they take their masks and enter the game and kill the others with their own hands.”
Hwang added that this decision was largely inspired by the current political climate in the United States.
“In the past, those who really controlled the system and maintained power, they were hidden behind the curtain, almost like this great invisible conspiracy,” he said. “However, this is no longer the case, especially in America. We are talking a lot about the oligarchy these days, but these so-called technology owners, they intervene, saying to all that they support with their money. People who really control power and the system, they no longer hide behind a curtain. They readily remove their masks, almost as if to declare,” we are all that we direct.
