Ever wondered how the characters of Squid Game Season 2 would fare playing Southeast Asian childhood games, like sepak takraw and tumbang preso, instead of Korean ones? Not that great, as it turns out.

On Tuesday (Dec 31), Netflix uploaded a video of the cast members of Squid Game Season 2 trying games from around the world – complete with a pink guard watching over them.

Singer-actress Jo Yu-ri, who plays Kim Jun-hee/Player 222, tried her hand at tumbang preso from the Philippines – only to fail multiple times, with her even hitting the camera at one point.

Singapore was also mentioned in the video after it was credited as the country of origin of two games: Goli panjang and batu seremban, which were played by Kang Ha-neul (Kang Dae-ho/Player 388) and Park Sung-hoon (Cho Hyun-ju/Player 120), respectively.

Park notably aced the challenge in a single attempt.

Squid Game Season 2 was released on Netflix on Dec 26 and has since garnered over 68 million views, breaking the record for most views for a show in its premiere week.

The third season of Squid Game will air sometime in 2025, and creators have revealed that it will feature a male version of the franchise's iconic Red Light, Green Light robot.
