The compelling Korean survival thriller “Squid Game” is the top-rated Netflix programme in 90 nations. The show revolves on hundreds of people who accept an invitation to participate in well-known kiddie games in an effort to win 45.6 billion won, or roughly $38.5 million, in order to pay off their mounting debt. However, there is a huge risk associated with this game because losers of the “Squid Game” will perish. Since its debut, the engrossing series has maintained its popularity, with “Squid Game” emerging as everyone’s new favourite binge watch. The programme is adored for its powerful writing, which highlights the class divide in South Korea, as well as for its instantly recognisable green track suits and shape-painted masks. But the enormous robotic doll that was seen in the first episode of the series seems to be a big hit. (Warning: There will be spoilers.)
The widely popular “Red Light, Green Light” game is one of the early tasks in “Squid Game.” The rules are straightforward, just as when we were kids: when the game’s captain yells “green light,” everyone dashes for the finish line. Everyone must stop if the game’s caller says “red light.” You get kicked out if you are seen moving. In the setting of “Squid Game,” the game’s boss is a huge, eerie doll whose head rotates; if she sees you moving, you’re shot dead right there and then.
The mascot quickly gained popularity, with many enthusiasts even dressing up as the doll for Halloween. But from where does this ominous judge of life and death come?
The Red Light, Green Light Robot Doll … is Real
Knowing that the Red Light, Green Light robot doll is real may terrify you if “Squid Game” hadn’t previously caused nightmares about playground games. The doll, which is proudly displayed at the entrance to the town known as Macha Land in South Korea’s Jincheon County, is from a region noted for its horse-drawn carriage villages. The “Squid Game” production team delivered the doll back to the community after finishing the first episode, but she now seems to be missing one of her hands. The doll, however, is not exclusive to the horse-drawn carriage hamlet; rather, she is based on a figure that can be seen in Korean schoolbooks.
The “Squid Game” troupe members went on a Jimmy Fallon episode of “The Tonight Show” to explain the Red Light, Green Light doll. On “Squid Game,” pickpocket Kang Sae-byeok is portrayed by Jung Ho-yeon.
“There were characters when we were at the school; one is a boy and the other is a girl. The female is the one; her name is Younghee and the boy’s name is Chulsoo.”
Visit Younghee the next time you’re in South Korea. Just be careful not to make any abrupt moves… just to be safe. The Red Light, Green Light Doll is currently proudly on exhibit outside of the Macha Land horse carriages town and museum.
