NETFLIX UPS THE ANTE IN GLOBAL PREMIERE FOR 'SQUID GAME 2'

Nothing like it. Hands down! Now let me walk you through this half-visual article about the "Squid Game" Season 2 world premiere in Seoul, which happened two weeks ago.

We were part of the handful of Philippine journalists and content creators who immersed in the world of "Squid Game" in Seoul, South Korea and it was the perfect event to end the year with a bang and to remind us of how impactful and intense the massively popular this hit show from South Korea is.

The impact of "Squid Game" transcends all continents and cultures that the event was also a melting pot of invited content creators with over one billion in reach, according to Netflix.

Now that's massive! The three-day event was full of activities that were well-spaced and bursting with content.

There were welcome socials at the hip Arzu Cheongdam, where we met Filipino content creators based in Los Angeles, Angelo and Alexandra Marasigan, Nava Rose and Katrina Bruno.

The next day, we started bright and early as we headed to Hongdae, where Netflix transformed a building into the "Squid Game" island.

We were all decked out in the exclusive Puma x Squid Game 2 tracksuit and sneakers as we first headed for activity No. 1, which was a TikTok dance trend, ala Pink Soldiers, which taught to us by the popular 1 Million Dance choreographer Harimu. I was grouped with Kapuso stars Sofia Andres and Allen Ansay, who had natural swagger, thankfully!
