Squid Game 3, this ending that even Lee Jung-jae didn't know, China watching thieves again



China stole again.

As of the 3rd, China's largest review site, Theuban, has as many as 21,000 reviews related to Netflix 'Squid Game 3'. More than 55,000 people also participated in the evaluation of stars.

Netflix is currently not available in China. Nevertheless, the flood of reviews related to 'Squid Game 3' proves that Chinese netizens watched illegally again.




This is not the first time that China has stolen content. Since 2017, China has been implementing a 'Hanryeong' to limit the consumption of Korean content in the country. As a result, Korean content is not officially serviced in China. Nevertheless, Chinese netizens are watching so-called 'thief' through illegal streaming sites.

Seasons 1 and 2 of 'Squid Game'Hell'Suri Nam'The Glory'Weird Lawyer Woo Young-woo'The Devil' Model Taxi' were all affected by this illegal viewing. In March, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province, China, stole 'I was duped' starring IU Park Bo-gum and promoted it.

In response, Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University said, `Now illegal viewing has become a daily routine in China. In particular, it is even more appalling that we do not feel any shame.'"It is time for the Chinese authorities to step up from now on. We need to take measures to prevent this from happening again by intensively cracking down on illegal activities by our citizens.




Meanwhile, 'Squid Game 3', which was released simultaneously around the world on the 27th of last month, is gaining global popularity with an unconventional story that even the leading actor Lee Jung-jae said "I didn't know it would be such an ending".

According to the OTT ranking aggregation site Flick Patrol on the 3rd, 'Squid Game' ranked No. 1 in the Netflix global TV show category. It was the sixth consecutive day for Korea, the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Australia, Brazil and Japan.

In the official tally of Netflix, 「Squid Game 3」 also reached 60.1 million viewers (view time divided by the total running time of the work) within three days of its release, becoming the first Netflix film to top all countries in the first week of its release. It also ranked ninth in Netflix's all-time series (non-English).
