On the occasion of the release of season 2 of Squid Game on Netflix, Inoxtag, Just Riadh and Maghla had prepared a nice surprise. With the help of the streaming platform, the three videographers transformed the Champs-Élysées into a giant part of 1, 2, 3 Soleil, an event which attracted many spectators, on site and online… But also an event which Cyril Hanouna and his show TPMP attacked, attracting the wrath of Internet users.
An XXL event on the Champs-Élysées
Let the new games begin.

This weekend, Parisians were able to discover an astonishing animation on the Champs-Élysées: on the occasion of the release of season 2 of Squid GameNetflix France had organized a 1, 2, 3 Soleil inspired by the first episode of the series. Rest assured, unlike the gory massacre unfolding on screen, the giant inflatable doll Younghee was not shooting at the participants! The event was hosted by Inoxtag, Maghla and Just Riadh, ceach of the videographers leading their own team, the 456 participants to the game being distributed among each team. In front of the eyes of 10,000 spectators (present on the avenue) and Internet users, it is the team of Inès Benazzouz, whose manga Instinct breaks records, who won!
TPMP attacks the game, Internet users defend it
Cyril Hanouna is surprised by the participation of only 456 people in the Inoxtag Squid Game event. Its columnist mentions a “flop”, unaware that it was a nod to the series, where 456 participants take part in the game. (X) pic.twitter.com/NbJeuzMxDu

During his television show on December 2, Cyril Hanouna violently attacked the eventparticularly pointing out the fact that there are only 456 players in competition, even though it is a nod to the series. The chroniclers of Don't touch my post also accused the animation of having prevented street traders from working properly, and of having made a flop. THE Internet users immediately came to the defense of Inoxtag and the showdenouncing a false controversy on the part of the presenter.
TPMP which criticizes without mastering the subject fortunately it's soon the end of this trash show

I was there yesterday we were invited by @NetflixFR with my daughter and there were lots of people doing their shopping and I'm not even talking about the restaurants I can't afford to go to where there were lots of people inside, not to mention Louis Vitton….

“A flop has only 456 participants!” This is the concept of the series!
“There’s no one on the sides!” The image shows the opposite!
A group of embittered fifty-year-olds…
Young people are having fun. TV already no longer interests this generation. You are finished. #TPMP https://t.co/InvgyUoGr5 pic.twitter.com/SRW1cSizX1

A buzz which turns against Cyril Hanouna, and illustrates the anger of Internet users towards his show…
