Act out Squid Game challenges in Hong Kong, and much more, at Korean Cultural Centre event in PMQ, Central
- At Korea Square 2021, Hongkongers can ‘taste and feel Korea at one place’, says Lee Young-ho, the director of the Korean Cultural Centre in Hong Kong
- Among the activities to take part in are the playground challenges from Netflix hit series Squid Game and a chance to dress up in traditional Korean outfits
Hong Kong fans of Netflix hit series Squid Game can experience the challenges featured in the show for themselves at the Korean Cultural Centre’s marketplace event “Korea Square 2021” at PMQ in Central on Hong Kong Island this weekend.
The dalgona challenge, ddakji (where you use a paper card to flip an opponent’s card on the ground) and guseulchigi (the goal is to win marbles from your opponent) are some of the activities visitors can join.
The traditional childhood games became global sensations after the dystopian K-drama thriller series went viral on the streaming service.
Entry to the three-day festival, which begins on Friday, is free of charge, as are the activities there. Visitors can immerse themselves in games, try out K-beauty products, enjoy Korean food and participate in workshops.
“As it is difficult to travel to Korea because of the pandemic, ‘Korea Square 2021’ is one of the best ways for Hong Kong people to taste and feel Korea at one place,” says Lee Young-ho, the director of the Korean Cultural Centre in Hong Kong.
