[HanCinema's News] "Squid Game" Statue Makes Appearance at Seoul Winter Festa
By William Schwartz | Published on
Winter Festa began on December 13th in Seoul, and over the weekend, one fixture has brought out much interest in visitors. A statue of Young-hee, the notorious giant doll from "Squid Game" is clearly visible at the Gwanghwamun area of the festival. The statue is, of course, not the main event at Gwanghwamun Square. The primary event of interest there is the Luminous Axis light show, which will have four performances every night there until January 5th.
