Compared to Europe, where capitalism has developed over 100 years, in Korea it is still weak, and in these economies the weakest are a problem. Nowadays, fortunately, there are several platforms that allow you to bring Korean content all over the world.” One of these is Netflix which, in addition to Squid Game, offers a vast choice of content produced and shot in Korea, a way to also allow viewers to get to know other realities.
