Squid Game Season 2 features a play that you would have played once as a child.

[Hwang Dong-hyuk / Director of 'Squid Game' Series: I wanted to introduce a lot of Korean games because foreign viewers liked games such as Dalgona and Ttakjigi in season 1.]

While such traditional games have become a hot topic on social media around the world, it is Gonggi Nori that has attracted particular attention.

[Line from 'Squid Game' Season 2 episode: I play a little bit of air. You're doing air? The Marine Corps?) There were many older sisters, so I did it little by little since I was young. [What can't the Marine do?]

Some foreign media also rated it as 'the most confusing game in the Western world,'
The number of video views introducing how to play
in English has exceeded 10 million.

[Introducing Airplay English video (Instagram 'jiny_song_') : Prepare 5 of them with the same size and weight. Throw it on the floor, and pick anything you want.]

The children's song "Round Round," which came out during the mating game, has also become a global hit with addictive melodies.

[Song during Season 2 episode of 'Squid Game': Lalalalalalalah Let's dance happily. Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa Ringa]
Season 2 of
was nominated for best picture in the U.S. 'Golden Globe' TV drama series before its release, but failed to win the award due to the Japanese background 'Shogun'.

[Jeong Deok-hyun / Popular culture critic: It's a difficult season to completely evaluate (because it's not complete). Season 2 is like a process to go to season 3.. [I think it's a much better picture to receive in season 3]

In the meantime, controversy continues in the global box office, with reports that the authorities have deliberated due to opposition in Vietnam regarding the scene where the character in the play mentioned the "Vietnam War."
