Heo Sung Tae said, "The popularity of 'Squid Game' still feels surreal to me. I had like 10,000 Instagram followers, but now I have like 2 million followers. There are lots of non-Korean fans."
He continued, "I've watched 'Squid Game' about 20 times. I watched seven to eight times by myself, and the rest with my family."

Heo Sung Tae answered, "We filmed the series for about a year. I gained a lot of weight for my role, but there was a period when I had lost some weight due to food poisoning."
He resumed with a shy smile, "I thought I looked quite good on camera then. I looked pretty handsome."
He shared which particular scene it was, "It was a scene where I was standing in front of 'Mi-nyeo'. The camera showed her first, then showed me."
