On the streets of Champs-Elysees in Paris, France, 456 participants in green training suits played the French version of the ” Red light, Green light ” game. The temperature felt in France was 4 degrees cold on the day, but the team match, which was played with three famous French influencer as team leaders, lasted for about an hour.
There was also “Younghee,” a doll that opened “Squid Game” at the venue. There were also dozens of “Pink Guards” covering their faces. However, there were no hidden shooters like “Squid Game.”
Rumor has it that there were a number of participants who couldn’t wipe their runny noses even in the cold weather as pink guards took out the participants who were greedy and twisted.
The participating product was the dalgona snack that appeared in the dalgona game, which was played after ” Red light, Green light ” in “Squid Game”.
The event was organized by Netflix France to promote “Squid Game 2,” which will be released on the 26th. “There are so many fans in France who love Squid Game,” Netflix France spokesman Joachim Twill said. “I thought about the best way to celebrate the series, which returned to season 2, and came up with this event.”
Following the event, Netflix France will invite 2,800 “Squid Game” fans to a large theater in downtown Paris on the 10th to pre-screen the first 1st and 2nd episodes of season 2. Participants who won the ” Red light, Green light ” were also invited to the premiere. “Squid Game” is a survival drama about people who participate in a mysterious survival game with a prize money of 45.6 billion won risking their lives to challenge extreme games to become the final winner. It is not an exaggeration to say that it broke the previous record of Netflix’s box office and spread Korean alleyway games such as Dalgona, ” Red light, Green light ” and playing marbles and scabs around the world.
In season 2, Sung Ki-hoon, who won the previous season’s game, will reportedly deal with a fierce battle with the frontman (Lee Byung-hun) and a game that starts again. In addition to Wi Ha-joon and Gong Yoo of season 1, Si-wan, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, and Jo Yu-ri are expected to appear in season 2, stimulating curiosity.
