<Reporter> The
winners of the major categories of the Emmy Awards, the most prestigious American broadcasting industry, are announced today.
The squid game, which was named in 13 categories, has already won in 4 categories, including Lee Yoo-mi receiving the Guest Award.
At today's major awards ceremony, it was nominated for six categories including Best Picture and Best Actor, but it is the first time for a Korean actor to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor or Best Picture at the Emmy Awards.
In particular, attention is paid to whether it will be the first non-English-speaking drama to break the language barrier and win Best Picture, the highest honor.
[Hwang Dong-hyeok/Director (9th local time): It would be great if we won (the best picture), but even if we don't, we won't be so upset because there are so many good works.]
It's been a year since the drama came out, season 2 Fans' support for waiting is still there.
[Carina/Squid Game Viewer: (The Squid Game) is an original content that has not copied anything, and it shows many human psychological behaviors as it is.
I think it deserves an award.]
Earlier, the city of Los Angeles designated September 17, when the drama was released, as 'Squid Game Day' to commemorate the impact and achievements of the squid game on American popular culture.
[Lee Jung-jae / Actor
(local time 9th): I sincerely hope that (Squid Game Day) will be the most enjoyable and fun and the most passionate day of harmony with friends and family.]
Lee Jung-jae and Jeong Ho-yeon will also be present as presenters.
After the 2020 movie Parasite won four Academy Awards, attention is being paid to whether the drama Squid Game will once again introduce K-content to the world stage at the Emmy Awards.
