North Korea Praises 'Squid Game' as a Critique of Capitalism in Complete Self-Own - Gizmodo

It feels like everyone on the internet is watching Netflix’s runaway hit Squid Game, and that includes a North Korean propaganda site, which praises the series for “exposing the reality of South Korean society, where weak meat and corruption has been on the rise and scoundrels are commonplace.”.

Basically, the average North Korean citizen isn’t likely to have access to Squid Game.

Kim Jong-un also recently called K-pop a “vicious cancer,” a move that was spurred by the fact that South Korean pop culture—of which Squid Game is a part—is becoming increasingly popular with younger North Koreans.

One of Squid Game’s fan-favorite characters, Kang Sae-byeok, is a North Korean defector whose main reason for entering the dystopian tournament is to earn money to bring her family to South Korea.

Sae-byeok also hides her North Korean accent when speaking to South Korean characters, and is derided as a “commie” or “spy” when other characters notice.
