Netflix’s Squid Game Season 2 has debuted worldwide, but it’s facing a significant challenge in China, where illegal streaming is rampant. On Douban, a popular Chinese review platform, a page for Squid Game Season 2 appeared even before its official release, and it now boasts over 60,000 reviews.

Professor Seo Kyung Duk from Sungshin Women’s University addressed the issue, stating, “This isn’t anything new. We saw the same with Squid Game Season 1. Illegal streaming has become a widespread issue in China. What’s really shocking is the utter lack of shame surrounding it.”

Seo also criticized China’s long-standing practice of exploiting the images of Korean celebrities without permission and producing counterfeit products for profit. He stressed that it’s time for Chinese authorities to take serious action to protect intellectual property rights.

In fact, during the recent Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese officials took strict measures to safeguard intellectual property, cracking down on the illegal distribution of content related to the Olympic mascot, Bing Dwen Dwen. Seo pointed out, “Chinese authorities are fully aware of the situation. They’ve deliberately ignored the illegal streaming of Korean content until now.” He stressed that China must begin respecting other countries’ intellectual property and enforce stricter measures against its citizens’ illegal activities.

Meanwhile, Squid Game Season 2 picks up with Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) returning to the deadly game, this time seeking revenge. His journey leads to a high-stakes showdown against the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung Hun), raising the tension to new heights.
