Before what could be a history-making night at the Emmy Awards, Squid Game creator Hwang Dyong-hyuk hit the red carpet with his cast.

The 51-year-old Hwang - who wrote and directed all nine episodes of Squid Game - hit the red carpet at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

He was joined by stars such as Park Hae-Soo (Cho Sang-woo), Lee Jung-Jae (Seong Gi-hun), Jung Ho-Yeon (Kang Sae-byeok), Oh Young-Soo (Oh Il-nam) and executive producer Kim Ji-Yeon.

Creator Hwang opted for a classic black tuxedo with a bow-tie, as did his male star Park Hae-soo.

Lee Jung-jae opted for a slightly different look with a black suit coat with silver buttons lining the lapels and pockets. 

Executive producer Kim Ji-yeon opted for a black spaghetti strap gown that fell to her ankles and obscured her black heels.

Actress and model Jung Ho-yeon (who started modeling in 2010 and placed runner-up on Season 4 of Korea's Next Top Model) rocked a rather leggy look.

She opted for a multi-colored spaghetti strap gown that fell to the floor with a large slit up the left leg.

She accessorized with several rings and a boxy black handbag while completing her look with strappy black heels.

Squid Game earned a whopping 14 nominations, including the most coveted award of the night - Outstanding Drama Series.

Stars Lee Jung-jae (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series), Park Hae-soo and Oh Young-soo (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series) and Jung Ho-yeon (Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series) will be vying for several individual acting awards.

The show already won a number of awards at the Creative Arts Emmys, including Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series (Lee You-mi as Ji-yeong), Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Single Episode, Outstanding Stunt Performance and  Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Contemporary Program.

Squid Game follows an intricate game where 456 players square off for a chance to win billions.

The show quickly became the most-watched Netflix original series in the history of the streaming service.

Netflix have renewed the show, though creator Hwang has said the second season won't return until 2023 or perhaps 2024.
