Headline: 'Squid Game' makes Emmy history
Netflix thriller "Squid Game" split drama series honors with "Succession," at Monday night's Emmy Awards.
Lee Jung-jae, who played the show's moral center, became the first Asian to win the Emmy for best drama series actor.
"Thank you for making realistic problems we all face come to life so creatively on the screen," Lee said to "Squid Game" creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, who earned the Emmy for best drama series directing.
Backstage, Hwang said this was "a major moment for us," and Lee said he expected the awards to open doors for other Asian actors.
