President Moon stated, "Today's achievement holds great significance in many ways. Squid Game has already set a record as Netflix's number one in 94 countries worldwide, demonstrating the strength of our culture. 'K-culture,' which emphasizes diversity and creativity, will create even greater future value," expressing his expectations.

President Moon evaluated, "The message conveyed by Squid Game is profound. On the surface, it shows an extreme game that separates winners and losers, but beneath that, it tells a story of not losing hope and humanity despite any difficulties. It deeply speaks about a life of 'togetherness,' where everyone supports and helps each other."

President Moon also said, "Although the award was unfortunately not won, I send wholehearted applause to director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who elevated our pride and status, the production team, and actor Lee Jung-jae, who delivered the best performance."
