"Squid Game 2" became the third most-watched production of Netflix in 18 days of its release, realizing its explosive popularity.
'Squid Game 2' is a story about a fierce battle between Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the game after vowing revenge, and frontman (Lee Byung-hun), who greets him, and the real game that begins again. Since its release, it has maintained its No. 1 position in the Netflix Global Top 10 series for three consecutive weeks.
In addition, "Squid Game" Season 2 has recorded 26,300,000 viewers (viewing time divided by the total running time of the work) from January 6 (Monday) to January 12 (Sunday), maintaining the No. 1 English and non-English integration in Netflix's Global Top 10 series, and continues to receive explosive responses on the Top 10 list in 93 countries.
As a result, it has reached 152,500,000 viewers so far in its third week, becoming the third most-watched production of Netflix after Season 1 of "Squid Game" and "Wend's Day" with only three weeks of record. In addition, "Squid Game" Season 2 was also listed as the most-watched work of the subsequent season. Season 2 of
'Squid Game' has been plagued by various controversies since its release. Immediately after the release of the work, the casting and acting of Top from Big Bang were on the cutting board. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who directed the work, responded that he was satisfied with Top's performance, saying, "I watched it as an actor," but he failed to persuade the majority of domestic viewers.
The actors' inadvertent SNS activities were also hampered. Park Sung-hoon posted a photo of Park Sung-hoon on the cover of Japanese pornography, which appears to be a parody of "Squid Game," on social media, and Park Kyu-young posted a behind-the-scenes photo of the shoot and lowered the post amid concerns that it could be a spoiler for season 3.
Despite various controversies, the global popularity of "Squid Game" continues. Season 2 of "Squid Game," which once again realizes its global popularity by topping the global top 10 for three consecutive weeks, is streaming only on Netflix, and season 3 of "Squid Game" will be released within this year.
