'Squid Game 3' fame Park Sung Hoon's wildest ride: He filmed his own death twice in one day and fans can't handle it
So, imagine you wake up, chug your chai, and head off to work-except your "work" is dying on camera. Not once, but twice. That's exactly what happened to
Park Sung Hoon
, the actor who's been making waves with his roles in both '
Squid Game 3
' and '
Queen of Tears
'. And no, this isn't some
K-drama
plot twist-this is real life.
On July 1st, Park Sung Hoon dropped a bombshell on Netflix Korea's YouTube channel, revealing he had to film the death scenes for his characters in both mega-hit series on the very same day. First, he shot a dramatic death scene for 'Squid Game 3' at a studio in Daejeon, and then rushed straight to Jeongseon in Gangwon-do to film his character Yoon Eun Sung's death in 'Queen of Tears'. Talk about a hectic schedule! If this isn't peak hustle culture, what is?

Park Sung Hoon didn't just have to show up and act-he had to go all-in, emotionally. In his own words, both scenes were emotionally draining, with directors pushing for that perfect tear just before his character collapses. And get this: he nailed it on the first take! No pressure, right?
He even joked about the bizarre coincidence of having to "die" twice in one day, and how tough it was to switch between such intense roles. If you think your exams or job interviews are stressful, try crying on cue and then pretending to die-twice-while everyone on set is watching your every move.
From Special Forces to Tearjerker-Park Sung Hoon's Epic Range
For those who haven't been keeping up, Park Sung Hoon plays Cho Hyun Joo, a transgender ex-special forces soldier, in 'Squid Game' Season 2 and 3. His performance has been praised for its depth and intensity, especially in those final, gut-wrenching moments. Meanwhile, in 'Queen of Tears', he brought a totally different vibe as Yoon Eun Sung, whose own tragic ending had fans reaching for tissues.
The guy's basically the
Ranveer Singh
of K-dramas-versatile, fearless, and always ready to give 200%. And let's be real, Indian youth can totally relate to juggling multiple roles, whether it's balancing studies, side hustles, or family drama. But dying twice in a day? That's next-level multitasking!
Why This Hits So Hard for All of Us
There's something oddly comforting in knowing that even our favorite stars have days where everything just piles on. Park Sung Hoon's story is a reminder that behind all the glitz and glam, actors are hustling just as hard-sometimes harder-than the rest of us. And honestly? It makes their performances hit even closer to home.
Whether you're binge-watching K-dramas or just trying to survive another Monday, remember: if Park Sung Hoon can survive two on-screen deaths in one day, you can handle whatever life throws at you.
And hey, maybe next time you're feeling overwhelmed, just channel your inner K-drama hero-shed a single, dramatic tear, and keep going.
