Career

After graduating from Seoul National University, he flew to Los Angeles to continue his studies in film production at the University of Southern California. Before moving to the United States, he directed several short films including Our Sad Life. However, his graduation work Miracle Mile was one of his major films that proved his ability to direct films.

Hwang’s debut feature film titled My Father was made in 2007. It was a true story and featured prominent actors including Kim Yeong-Cheol, Daniel Henney, etc. After a gap of four years, his second feature film Silenced was released. It was one of his best works as it was considered one of the best movies in Korea that year. After this film, he directed two more films called Miss Granny (2013) and The Fortress (2017). In 2020, he produced a film called Collectors.

Although he has had a few good movies in the past, he never came into the limelight. This continued until the release of the Netflix series Squid Game. He originally wrote the script for the series back in 2008, but due to poor financial conditions, he was unable to direct the film at that time. His financial status was so bad that he had to sell his laptop due to financial difficulties. Since he wrote the script for the series, he approached many people/studios and was rejected by a dozen studios. However, he never gave up and continued to do what he is good at. Finally, the Netflix series launched on September 17, 2021 and broke all previous Netflix records. It is currently the most watched series on Netflix and is in first place in 90 countries.
