Art director Chae Kyoung-sun, the mastermind behind Netflix’s "Squid Game" Season 2, clinched her second honor at the Art Directors Guild (ADG) awards.
The Art Directors Guild announced on Sunday on its official X account that "Squid Game" Season 2 was selected as the winner in the one-hour contemporary single camera series category at the 29th annual ADG Awards ceremony held at the Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown Hotel.
Chae previously won the award in 2022 for the first season of "Squid Game," blowing worldwide fans away with the show's iconic dormitory and maze-like pink staircases.
The drama was nominated for its "Six Legs" game, a six-legged pentathlon in which a team of five players should complete five mini-games in five minutes, and its "O X" voting system design. It beat out competitors such as "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (Amazon Prime), "Slow Horses" (Apple TV), "The Gentlemen" (Netflix) and "Yellowstone" (Paramount).
The Art Directors Guild Awards are given to art directors and set designers who have created beautiful and artistic backgrounds and mise-en-scene designs in movies, TV dramas, commercials and music videos. Art director Lee Ha-jun previously won the ADG's Best Production Design award in 2020 for the 2019 film "Parasite."
Meanwhile, "Squid Game" Season 2 won the Best Foreign Language Series award at the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards, its website showed on Feb. 9.
