JAKARTA - Welcoming the screening of Squid Game 2, more than 900 fans of the Squid Game series participated in the Squid Game: Red Light Green Light Challenge offering from Netflix. The event took place on a 180-meter track and became Asia's longest Red Light Green Light.

Located in one of the most iconic locations in Indonesia, Gelora Bung Karno, the participants had to compete until the finish line in front of the Young-hee doll as high as 8 meters and supervised by more than 270 Pink Guards which became the hallmark of the Squid Game series.

Carrying competitive spirit with challenging games such as in the Squid Game series, Netflix also invited a number of Indonesian best sports players, namely Susi Susanti, Alan Budikusuma, Rizky Ridho, and Bambang Pamungkas to compete with other participants.

The spirit is very exciting and fun, making us curious and tense. The tension is similar to when competing in the Olympics," said Susi Susanti while leaking recently.

This guide seems simple but requires concentration and strategy, because not only running fast but it also takes the right tactics to enter a safe zone. Plus the main thing is also to focus on getting to the finish line.

"Even though I've watched this game at Squid Game, it's not easy to run it myself," added Alan Budikusuma. Only a distance of 180 meters but the tension is extraordinary. And there is always a competitive spirit in us, so we really want to be champions.

There were also a number of well-known content creators and figures such as Nessie Judge, Randy Danistha, Fajar Sadboy, and YouTuber Jess No Limit who also participated in defeating the Red Light Green Light challenge.

Squid Game: Red Light Green Light Challenge continues with exclusive playback for 456 lucky participants to watch the first episode of the second season of Squid Game, first from its premiere on Netflix.

The Red Light Green Light is one of the most difficult games in Squid Game. Similar to the game in the series, the participants in the Squid Game: Red Light Green Light Challenge also wore sports clothes like players at Squid Game. The number of participants who registered in this game was also made similar to the series, namely 456 participants divided into two sessions. Not only taking place in Jakarta, the activation of Squid Game also took place globally in Paris, Amsterdam, Sydney, Srypto Paulo, Warsaw, London, Bangkok, and many more.

Created by director and writer Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game quickly became a shocking show around the world after it premiered in 2021. After going through 12 years of development process, Squid Game took only 12 days to become the most popular Netflix series of all time. The series stole the attention of global audiences and dominated the Global Top 10 list for the first nine consecutive weeks of non-English-speaking series and made history by winning a number of Emmy awards.

In Squid Game 2, Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) is again involved in a tense battle with the mysterious Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). This time Gi-hun returned to the game arena with the mission ending forever. But when the new game was revealed, the more deadly the bet was, the Gi-hun mission was threatened with failure and became a new problem. Also starring a number of well-known South Korean actors such as Wi Ha-jun, Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, and Jo Yu-ri, Squid Game 2 will air globally on December 26, 2024, only on Netflix!
