Squid Game production designer reveals inspiration behind season two's unique aesthetics

A new behind-the-scenes video from Netflix reveals insights into the production of Squid Game's second season. The video features creator Hwang Dong-hyuk and cast members discussing the show's unique blend of whimsical and macabre aesthetics. Production designer Chae Kyoung-sun explains the inspiration behind new game sets, including a six-legged race that reflects school sports festivals. She highlights the symbolism of gift-wrapped coffins and rainbow colors, representing a wish for peace for those who have passed. The video also showcases the creation of a giant merry-go-round for the "Mingle" game. Both seasons of Squid Game are currently available on Netflix, with a third season expected later this year.
