SEOUL – Squid Game 2, the sequel to the 2021 hit Netflix series, is stirring up controversy over alleged rude behaviour towards users of Incheon Airport from production staff.
“We heard that citizens were inconvenienced while Squid Game 2 was filming at Incheon Airport on Monday,” stated the show’s makers on Wednesday, adding that they did their best to provide airport users with as much detailed information as possible of the on-site situation.
The producers offered apologies for the inconvenience and thanked airport users for their understanding, adding: “We will exercise greater caution during the shoot.”
On Tuesday, an airport user posted a complaint online regarding the high-handed manner of the Squid Game 2 staff.
“I kept getting stopped by the staff of Squid Game 2 while I was about to use the escalator at Incheon Airport, and I felt deeply repelled by one of the staff who ordered me to back off in an irritable tone,” the writer of the post wrote.
“As the shoot has taken a toll on Incheon Airport users, the staff should have been courteous towards them.”
