'Squid Game' creator Hwang Dong-hyuk addresses what he calls 'misunderstandings' over casting cisgender actor Park Sung-hoon as trans character Hyun-ju in seasons 2 and 3.
Sung-Hoon played the part well. Perhaps they were the best and most fitting applicant for the part at the time of casting. Unless the director states “I specifically picked a cis actor over a trans actor because they were cis” then im not sure I understand the frustration.
