Squid Game Meets Southeast Asian Childhood Games

Have you ever imagined the characters from Squid Game Season 2 trying out traditional Southeast Asian childhood games like sepak takraw or tumbang preso? Well, it turns out they're not exactly champions in these games!

On December 31, Netflix dropped a fun and entertaining video featuring the cast of Squid Game Season 2 as they attempted to conquer some iconic games from Southeast Asia, with the ever-watchful pink guard overseeing their every move. The results? Hilarious and not quite what you’d expect!

Jo Yu-ri's Tumbang Preso Experience

Jo Yu-ri, who portrays Kim Jun-hee (Player 222), took on tumbang preso, a popular game from the Philippines. Unfortunately, her attempts were less than stellar, as she struggled to hit the target and even managed to knock the camera down at one point! 'This is harder than it looks,' she exclaimed, capturing the comedic spirit of the moment.

Kang Ha-neul and Park Sung-hoon Shine

The video also highlighted Singapore’s contribution to Southeast Asian games, showcasing Goli panjang, played by Kang Ha-neul (Kang Dae-ho/Player 388), and batu seremban, which was expertly handled by Park Sung-hoon (Cho Hyun-ju/Player 120). Park especially impressed everyone by acing his game challenge on the very first try, making it look almost too easy!

Squid Game Season 2 Breaks Records

Since being released on Netflix on December 26, Squid Game Season 2 has shattered records, racking up over 68 million views in its opening week alone. This staggering number solidifies its status as the most-watched show for a premiere week on the platform!

Looking Ahead to Season 3

But wait, there’s more! Fans can anticipate the third season of Squid Game, which is set to air sometime in 2025. The creators have hinted at introducing a male version of the franchise’s iconic Red Light, Green Light robot, thrilling fans with the promise of new twists and surprises.

Will the next season bring even more exciting games and challenges? Stay tuned, because Squid Game is just getting started!
