[81] The VIP room was one of the last pieces to be designed, and Chae said that they decided on an animal-based theme for both the costumes and room for this; "The VIPs are the kind of people who take other people's lives for entertainment and treat them like game pieces on a chessboard, so I wanted to create a powerful and instinctive look for the room."

Frank Bosman, a cultural theologian at Tilburg University has highlighted Squid Game's critical view on the connection between certain aspects of South Korean Christian culture and capitalism, particularly in relation to the ' prosperity gospel'. He goes on to argue that the Christian attributes of Christian compassion and self-sacrifice can be discovered outside of institutionalised Christianity. He highlights the ninth episode's implied reference to the Parable of the Good Samaritan, in which a homeless man is shown compassion in the final hours of Christmas Eve – the evening which precede the birth of Christ. The final chapter of the series concludes with a reminder that hope and compassion can triumph against the despair and depravity of all that has gone before; Bosman does note, however, that his interpretation of the narrative is that the creators are critically commenting on the hypocritical faith of many of the supposedly Christian contestants compared to the altruism demonstrated by non-Christians, showing that altruism can be seen and demonstrated in all people.

A second season was officially announced in June 2022, along with a reality competition series titled Squid Game: The Challenge. Production for the second season began in July 2023. Outside of Asian regions, the show's popularity was driven primarily through word of mouth and viral spread on social media. Vulture also claimed that the show's widespread localization, with subtitles in 37 languages and dubbed versions in 34 languages, helped to capture an international audience. [41] Hwang believed that the show's popularity was due to "the irony that hopeless grownups risk their lives to win a kids' game", as well as the familiarity and simplicity of the games that allowed the show to focus on characterization. [131] The diversity of the characters that play the Squid Game, drawing from different walks of lower- and middle-class life, also helps draw audiences to watch as many could find sympathy in one or more of the characters.

Around 2008, Hwang Dong-hyuk had tried unsuccessfully to get investment for a different movie script that he had written, and he, his mother, and his grandmother had to take out loans to stay afloat, but still struggled amid the debt crisis within the country. [31] [32] [f] He spent his free time in a Manhwabang (South Korean manga cafe) reading Japanese survival manga such as Battle Royale, Liar Gameand Gambling Apocalypse: Kaiji. [34] [35] [36] [37] Hwang compared the characters' situation in these works to his own current situation and considered the idea of being able to join such a survival game to win money to get him out of debt, leading him to write a film script on that concept throughout 2009. [37] Hwang stated, "I wanted to write a story that was an allegory or fable about modern capitalist society, something that depicts an extreme competition, somewhat like the extreme competition of life. But I wanted it to use the kind of characters we've all met in real life." [38] Hwang feared the storyline was "too difficult to understand and bizarre" at the time. [34] Hwang tried to sell his story to various Korean production groups and actors, but had been told it was too grotesque and unrealistic. [39] Hwang put this script aside without any takers, and over the next ten years successfully completed three other films, including the crime drama film Silenced (2011) and the historical drama film The Fortress (2017).
