...With spooky season at our doorstep, a look at the ‘Squid Game’ costumes that could make their way into every Halloween party
When Mumbai cosplayer Medha Srivastava — known for her viral renditions of Loki, Khaleesi from Game Of Thrones and Dhanush in Jagame Thandhiram — watched Squid Game when it first dropped on Netflix, she knew the show would be a success and wasted no time in channelling her inner-Kang Sae-byoek, a North Korean defector who is one of hundreds competing in the series of deadly games, to win money.
The first season of the Korean-language survival-thriller series has become Netflix’s “biggest series launch” till date after it hit the mark of 111 million views in less than a month since its debut on September 17. And this further contributed to the hallyu boom across India that now sees more people recreating the marbles and the Red Light Green Light game or eating Dalgona candy, as well as leaning further into Korean culture. The biggest appeal of the fashion in Squid Game is its simplicity and borderline-neon colour-blocking as well as its gender-neutral statement.
