1. > “Even though the first series was such a huge global success, honestly I didn’t make much. So doing the second series will help compensate me for the success of the first one too,” he told the BBC, adding that he also “didn’t fully finish the story.”

2. You don’t lose 8-9 teeth because of stress. That’s not really a thing, unless the stress makes you punch yourself in the mouth.

3. Can’t blame him for chasing that bag

4. Bruxism is the only mouth condition I could find that could be caused by stress. That’s not going to make you lose teeth. The fact that he doesn’t know if it’s 8 or 9 is another red flag. You know how many teeth you lost in that short of time. It would be alarming and something you would be paying attention to. I’m calling bullshit.

5. Ok it sounds nuts but as a child of a dentist and someone who has had 4 root canals in the past calendar year (and never had any previously) – lack of funds/access to care and stress can do crazy things to your body. Mine was due to a rampant sinus infection but I think it was as bad as it was because of severe stress.

6. Maybe it’s just a Korean expression

7. Squid game was unbearably bad. It was incredibly memeable.

8. I don’t know how much dental services cost in South Korea, but I hope it becomes chump change when you’re the creator of Squid Game

9. Don’t Koreans love amphetamines?
