Ever wondered how the characters of Squid Game Season 2Â 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.Â

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.
"This is harder than it looks," exclaimed Jo.

Actor Yang Dong-geun, who plays Park Yong-sik/Player 007, fared considerably worse at Malaysia's sepak takraw – landing two kicks on the ball, before falling in a split position.


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.
Other games featured in the 10-minute-long video include Japan's menko and India's kanche.Â
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.
