Previously, Bong Joon Ho‘s Parasite won the cast in a motion picture award at the 2020 SAG Awards, and Yoon Yeo Jung won the female actor in a supporting role award for her role in Minari last year. As Squid Game’s cast member Oh Young Soo became the first Korean actor to win a Golden Globe, people are expectant to see if Squid Game will continue its winning streak at the upcoming awards.
