'Squid Game 2' has made a public apology for the controversy surrounding their recent filming at an airport.

On July 11, an unnamed netizen posted a complaint about 'Squid Game 2' filming at the Incheon International Airport that's since spread online. According to the poster, a staff member had restricted people from using a public escalator while filming for the Netflix drama series, and instead of asking politely, the staff member allegedly told them in a rude tone, "Go back."

A rep from 'Squid Game 2' has now apologized for the matter, stating, "We saw the post about a citizen who was uncomfortable during filming for 'Squid Game' season 2 at Incheon International Airport on July 10 KST. We tried our best to inform the public in detail about the situation on site during filming. We apologize for making people uncomfortable. We sincerely thank those who understood the filming, and we'll be even more careful during filming in the future."

Stay tuned for updates on 'Squid Game 2'.

The airport company needs to apologize too, for renting its space and not making sure the filming company doesn't cause any bother to the passengers

I've seen filming sites. There are usually signs everywhere. There are staff everywhere and lighting and stuff that makes it obvious that there's something going on. Airports have multiple escalators and stairwells. Sure, closing off that particular one was probably inconvenient but not the end of the world. Knowing how irritable and entitled plane passengers can be, I can simply imagine that more than one passenger was annoyed at this inconvenience and tried to bully their way through anyway. If a staff member lost it by only saying "go back," I'd say that staff member held it together pretty well.
