With Squid Game quickly becoming Netflix's biggest show ever, its incredibly talented cast got a chance to appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where they spoke about Baby Squid, Psychotic Robots and more!
Netflix's Squid Game currently ranks number 1 on the Netflix charts in over 50 countries. The gritty survival show, which is made along the same lines as Japan's cult classic, Battle Royale, follows the lives of 456 desperate people, who are willing to fight to death to win a huge crash price. The show has been appreciated for its tight script, as well as for the brilliant acting by the cast, many of whom are rookies.
During their appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, cast members Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-joon, Jung Ho-yeon, and Park Hae-soo spilled the beans on Squid Game, while also giving the audience an insight into their group dynamics. Park Hae-soo, though, had what was possibly the most adorable news of the night, and it was about the Baby Squid!
Who is the Baby Squid?
Park Hae-soo, who played the role of the morally ambiguous Sang-woo in Squid Game, has had an incredible month. Along with Squid Game reaching new heights every day, the experienced actor was also blessed with his first child, who happened to be born on the same day as the Squid Game premiere!
On The Tonight Show, Park Hae-soo revealed that not only was his son born on the same day, he was also born only 10 minutes before the premiere. While the premiere was scheduled for 4 pm KST, the actor got a chance to meet the Baby Squid at 3:50 pm KST.
The proud father called his son his lucky charm and a bundle of blessings. Park Hae-soo also revealed that several people around him, including his friends, have given the newborn the sweetest name: Baby Squid!
Given Squid Game's stupendous success, it looks like Baby Squid is to thank for it!
