Obsessed with SquidGame? So is TikTok.
Netflix’s new dystopian Korean show that’s become the platform’s most popular since premiering earlier this month. The show, which feels part, part very twisted obscure Game Show Network series, is about a group of people who, facing economic disaster, join a game series to try to win money — but they soon learn seemingly innocent games like red light, green light and tug-o-war are deadly — and if they lose, they’ll be killed.
Now, TikTok creators are reenacting the games on the platform, and thankfully, it’s in a non-deadly way. The show is as wildly popular on TikTok as it is on Netflix: The hashtag #squidgame has a staggering 12.9 billion views. The main-inspired video centers around the red light, green light — the recess game where someone yells “green light,” and everyone runs towards them, but when they turn around and say “red light,” everyone has to freeze or be eliminated.
