• She described the brief role as “one of the more mysterious jobs” and said the offer to join the shoot “came out of the blue.”
• The Oscar winner stated she is “wildly open” to returning or starring in an English-language Squid Game project but insisted she knows no more than the public.
• Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed the cameo was not intended as an explicit setup for a U.S. spin-off, leaving its narrative purpose ambiguous.
