Due to the craze of Netflix’s ‘Squid Game’, Korean traditional games that have been forgotten are reviving all over the world. When the sound of “Mugunghwa has bloomed” rang out, the students suddenly stopped on their way. Overseas subway platforms have become a playground for tickling, and in world famous online shopping malls, ‘dalgona’ drawing sets, which were eaten by melting sugar in a ladle in the 1960s while sitting around a briquette fire, are selling hot. The children’s play, which the characters in the drama risk their lives for, raises curiosity, and the interest grows like a snowball, attracting attention abroad as a new game.

Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, USA on the 6th (local time). The students immediately stopped walking when the sound of “Mugunghwa has bloomed” rang out in Korean from a police car on campus. The two boys carrying bags shook hands, arms outstretched, and did not even flinch. He seemed to react like a conditional reflex to a familiar law. Their faces were full of silent smiles. It is the same as the game of tagging the participants in the ‘Squid Game’. The video, which was uploaded to the video sharing site TikTok, received comments such as ‘I wonder who the tagger robot is (Marymag****)’ and ‘Everyone seems to be waiting for season 2 (harmony4c****)’.

At the crosswalk in front of Robinsons Galleria, a shopping mall in Quezon City near Manila, Philippines, a large tag-catching robot from the ‘Squid Game’ was installed. A tag robot standing in front of a crossing appears to be monitoring pedestrians trespassing. Anne Kim, a Filipino correspondent at the International Cultural Exchange Promotion Agency, told the Daily News on the 10th, “When I visited the shopping mall, I saw three foreigners walking down the street to the sound of ‘Mugunghwa has bloomed’ and stopped moving.” A cafe has also been established, and since the election season is in full swing ahead of the presidential election in May next year, parodies are pouring out comparing the figures in ‘Squid Game’ to politicians,” he said.

The dalgona lottery is really heating up the world. At Amazon, the world’s largest online shopping mall, the set for making dalgona ranked second in sales as of the 10th in the field of cooking tools and accessories. At the ‘Squid Game’ experience event held for two days in Paris, France on the 2nd and 3rd, crowds flocked to try making dalgona like a cloud. The New York Times, an American daily, reported on the phenomenon that traditional games in the ‘Squid Game’ are getting attention, and said, “It stimulated emotions by darkly twisting the pleasant childhood game.” Dalgona is drawing attention as a K-food that connects ‘Chicken and beer’ in the drama ‘My Love from the Star’ and ‘Jjapaguri (Ramen made by mixing jjapaghetti and raccoon)’ that appeared in the movie ‘Parasite’. .
