In the video, many people can be seen wearing costumes from the hit Netflix show "Squidward", dancing and playing music inside the venue. In Seoul, 27,000 people gathered to protest, prompting local authorities to deploy about 12,000 police officers to set up "bus walls" and fences in Gwanghwamun Square to control the crowd.

Some union workers said they were struggling to make a living, just like the characters in the hit South Korean TV series "Squid Game." Another laid-off worker said the plot of "Squid Game" reminded him of his former colleague who had died.

One month after its launch, "Squid Game" has become the most watched TV series in history, winning the popularity championship in more than 190 countries and regions. Even in China, "Squid Game" has frequently been on the hot search list, with over 100 million topics and extremely high discussion.

The winner can get a reward of 45.6 billion won. In this game, there are games with very generous rewards, deadly games, and games that cause serious harm to your body. In the end, it depends on who can win in this game.
