Squid Game, South Korea's Netflix mega hit, is back as Seoul battles real-life political chaos
Yoon Suk-yeol survived an impeachment motion over the weekend for his move, which plunged the country into its worst political crisis in about four decades.
The show's return comes just days after South Korean President triggered a national crisis by briefly declaring martial law, until he was forced into a dramatic reversal by determined lawmakers. Yoon remains in office having survived an impeachment bid, with his party accused of staging a «second coup» to cling on to power.

Squid Games returns amid political chaos
Amid the massive political turmoil, Squid Game auteur Hwang Dong-hyuk has joined calls by hundreds of Korean actors and directors to impeach or oust Yoon, according to a Bloomberg report. Hwang, who won global acclaim for creating Netflix Inc.’s most popular show of all time, used a press briefing on Monday ahead of the second season’s launch to blast Yoon for his now-revoked martial law decree.

Calling the situation “ridiculous,” the 52-year-old pointed out how divisions in society like those in his 2021 and upcoming series were fuelling chaos around the world. “It’s unfortunate and infuriating that the whole country has to spend the end of the year with fear, anxiety, and depression because of this ridiculous situation,” Hwang told reporters.
