Squid Game boat floats along river in Bangkok as Netflix launches second series of hit show
Published date: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 02:22:16 +0700A Squid Game boat floated along a river in Thailand today as Netflix launched a second series of the hit show.
The world's largest Young-Hee doll was paraded as part of a promotion for the upcoming season of Squid Game along the Chao Phraya River in the capital Bangkok
The doll is set to float from December 20 to 21, drumming up interest for the new show.
Actor Geoffrey Giuliano, who played VIP 4 in series one, said: 'The only thing missing from the boat was a giant blow-up doll of VIP 4's backside. That was the most iconic scene of the show.
'Seriously though, I'm looking forward to watching all of series 2. There are going to be some big surprises, for sure.'
Footage shows the sculpture dressed in an orange skirt, a yellow shirt, and high-knee socks, standing on a watercraft with the words 'Netflix Squid Game 2' displayed, alongside dozens of 'the workers' wearing red bodysuits aboard the boat.
The doll will then be stationed at ICON SIAM's pier for nine days, from December 23 to January 2, 2025, except for December 31.
Squid Game 2 is set to premiere on December 26. The South Korean Netflix series, released in 2021, depicts a deadly competition where contestants play children's games for a large cash prize.
The show's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, based the idea on his own economic struggles, as well as the class disparity in South Korea and capitalism.
It became Netflix's most-watched series and the most-watched program in 94 countries.
