Kim Joo-ryoung said, "After I gave birth to my daughter, I took a break from work for about three years. In order to make a living, I took all the roles that I could take after those three years. My husband was struggling to find a decent job at that time as well."
The actress continued, "Some time after that, my husband luckily managed to get a position at one state university in Texas. He currently works as a professor there. So, I thought about leaving everything behind, and moving to Texas. That's when I got my part in 'Squid Game'."
With a bright smile, she added, "As 'Squid Game' became really big in the U.S., my husband's co-workers apparently wouldn't stop going on about it to him. They were also like, 'Your wife is crazy! She's so awesome!' and stuff."
