On November 2, an interview was conducted with Im Si-wan, who plays Myung-ki in Netflix's 'Squid Game 3,' at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. In the series, Myung-ki is a cryptocurrency investment YouTuber who joins the game and encounters his ex-girlfriend Jun-hee, played by Jo Yu-ri, who is pregnant with his child. His ruthless performance, prioritizing debt clearance over his ex-girlfriend and child, has shocked audiences worldwide.
During the interview, Im Si-wan stated, "I've become a globally unlikable character. I take it as a compliment and am enjoying it."
He added, "This is the most criticized character I've ever played. It's quite challenging to defend Myung-ki, who is such an unreasonable character, in interviews. He's not easy to justify."
'Squid Game 3' has maintained its position at the top in 89 countries. According to Flix Patrol, a global OTT content ranking site, 'Squid Game 3' ranked number one in Netflix's global TV show category as of November 6.
