The 'mammoth' global success that Squid Game is currently (deservedly!) enjoying manages to peak newer heights, almost every other day. A while ago, the popular South Korean drama made history with its four nominations at the SAG Awards 2022, becoming the first non-English language series and the first Korean series to score a nod. The four nominations include Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series and Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Television Series.
Moreover, Lee Jung Jae received a nod for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series as Seong Gi Hun while Jung Ho Yeon is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series as Kang Sae Byeok. During an appearance on JTBC's Newsroom, Jung Jae spoke passionately about Squid Game making history at the 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards. Lee was asked which SAG Award he most wishes to win and the veteran actor humbly revealed, "I want to receive the Best Ensemble Award. The Best Ensemble Award is as meaningful as the Best Picture Award or Director Award, so I really want to receive it," via Soompi.
