Speaking to Variety, he said: "I don’t have well developed plans for Squid Game 2."
Dong-hyuk, who started writing the series in 2008, continued: "It is quite tiring just thinking about it. But if I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I’d consider using a writers’ room and would want multiple experienced directors."
