Squid Game is probably the internet’s favorite K-drama at the moment, with a lot of posts urging netizens to give in to the hype. Of course, memes will always be social media’s favorite way to do so.

The trending K-drama is basically a combination of the Hunger Games trilogy, Battle Royale, and Kill Bill—where players will compete to the death in games inspired by child’s play. The winner, who will manage to survive the deadly high-stakes game, gets to receive ₩45.6 billion (approximately P1.9 billion).

If you’re curious about the Squid Game hype, here are some hilarious memes we found on the internet: 

The giant freaky doll that signals players to stop and go during the “Green Light, Red Light” game has become the favorite personality for now of  K-drama fans.

Some TikTok users also made use of the "Green Light, Red Light" reference in jest. (Warning: video contains explicit language.)
