‘Squid Game’ Reality Series Called Out for Unsafe Environment: ‘The Conditions Were Absolutely Inhumane’

A year after the global success of the Netflix K-drama Squid Game, it has reappeared in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. As fans know, the K-drama focused on a broken capitalist society as over 400 contestants fight to the death for a chance at a grand prize. While MrBeast created a live-action version of the K-drama, Netflix developed Squid Game: The Challenge. But the competition series faces immense backlash over unsafe, inhumane, and outlandish conditions.

Contestants fight for one of TV’s largest cash prizes on ‘Squid Game: The Challenge’

The competition reality series was ill-advised from the start. Hwang Dong-hyuk’s storyline originated from hardships in the creator’s life. Squid Game explores what it means to live in a society ruled by money and social status. Squid Game skyrocketed to success thanks to Hwang’s riveting portrayal of childhood games that turned into life-threatening battles of death. For what? Four hundred fifty-six players who are bankrupt, on the brink of falling off, and down on their luck fight to win millions.
