Netflix's Squid Game returns for its second season, but the introduction of a transgender character played by a cisgender actor has sparked controversy.
The second season of the Netflix show, Squid Game , has sparked debate over its portrayal of a transgender character. The character, played by actor Park Sung-Hoon who identifies as male, joins the deadly game to fund gender transition surgery. While the casting initially drew criticism from some LGBTQQIAAP2S+ activists, the show's reception has been mixed.
Some viewers find the character's portrayal shallow and lacking depth, while others praise the writers for their sensitive and nuanced approach. The show's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, revealed that he was unable to cast a transgender actor due to the prevailing societal stigma against the LGBTQ community in South Korea.
