‘Lighting Store’ Kim Hee-won: “Competing with ‘Squid Game 2’? I’m confident.”

Director Kim Hee-won shared his honest feelings about being compared to ‘Squid Game’ Season 2. On the morning of the 3rd, a production presentation for the Disney Plus original series ‘Lighting Shop’ was held at the COEX Convention Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

The event was attended by writer Kang Full, director Kim Hee-won, and actors Ju Ji-hoon, Park Bo-young, Kim Seol-hyun, Um Tae-goo, Lee Jung-eun, Kim Min-ha, Park Hyuk-kwon, Shin Eun-soo, and Kim Sun-hwa. On this day, Director Kim Hee-won was asked if he felt pressured by the competition with the Netflix original series ‘Squid Game’ Season 2, which is released around the same time, and he replied, “I feel pressure when I enter a competition.”

He added, “Of course, competition in terms of box office success is unavoidable.” Director Kim said, “However, from my perspective, when I direct, I worry a lot about whether I can move the hearts of many people or not.

Therefore, I have confidence in that aspect,” he said. He went on to say, “I am confident that the sentiments in ‘Lighting Shop’ can move everyone.

    There must have been something shady, that’s why he paid. Isn’t it obvious?

    The prosecution perceives this case as a serious crime and has announced thorough prosecution proceedings. A prosecution official stated, “The defendant’s actions have not only caused financial loss to the victim but have also severely damaged their honor and emotional stability. We will carry out prosecution thoroughly to ensure the punishment is commensurate with the crime.”
