Squid Game: The Puppy Interview captures the four principal stars of the record-breaking Netflix drama—Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Jung Ho-yeon and Wi Ha-jun—answering BuzzFeed’s fan questions while playing with a litter of rescue puppies. The light-hearted format immediately contrasts with the series’ high-stakes brutality, allowing the actors to relax, laugh and reveal personal anecdotes. Viewers learn how overwhelmed they felt by the show’s overnight global success; Jung Ho-yeon describes waking up to millions of new followers, while Lee Jung-jae recalls friends from around the world texting him screenshots of Squid Game dominating Netflix’s Top 10 lists.

The cast digs into behind-the-scenes stories fans have been craving. Park Hae-soo explains that the towering playground set for “Red Light, Green Light” was even more intimidating in person, whereas Wi Ha-jun admits the honeycomb challenge left everyone sticky for hours between takes. They also discuss the emotional toll of filming the marble game, with Jung Ho-yeon revealing she cried off camera because the dialogue mirrored real childhood memories. Despite the dark subject matter, the actors insist the atmosphere on set was supportive and often playful once the director called “cut.”

Fans get insight into each actor’s favorite childhood game and the rounds they would add if director Hwang Dong-hyuk green-lights another season. Lee Jung-jae opts for Korea’s “Cat’s Cradle” string game, believing it would look visually striking on screen, while Park Hae-soo suggests “Freeze Tag” for its suspense potential. Jung Ho-yeon confesses she would have preferred a logic-based puzzle round to avoid physical exertion, and Wi Ha-jun dreams up a giant “Tug of War” rematch with upgraded safety harnesses.

Questions turn personal when the puppies crawl onto their laps. The stars reveal their go-to comfort foods, favorite K-pop tracks and unexpected hobbies: Jung Ho-yeon is a skilled barista, Park Hae-soo plays classical guitar, Lee Jung-jae practices pottery and Wi Ha-jun is obsessed with surfing. They also share heartfelt wishes for their characters if a Season 2 materializes—redemption for Sang-woo, justice for Jun-ho, healing for Sae-byeok’s brother and renewed purpose for Gi-hun.

Throughout the interview, the puppies steal focus, nibbling at shoelaces and dozing in the actors’ arms. Their calming presence softens any lingering tension, highlighting the humanity behind Squid Game’s intense performances. By the end, each star encourages viewers to adopt, not shop, and expresses gratitude for the outpouring of global love. The segment leaves audiences with a wholesome, behind-the-mask look at the cast’s chemistry, further fueling anticipation for the franchise’s next chapter.
