Squid Game 2 has bad news... Golden Globe Award Failed → Signs of Boycott in Vietnam



While the Netflix original series 'Squid Game 2' is gaining worldwide popularity, there is a boycott movement in Vietnam.

On the 27th of last month (local time), Vietnam's local media, the Vietnamese Film Bureau reported that it was investigating the history of 'Squid Game 2'.

According to the media, authorities are aware of the controversy over Season 2 of "Squid Game" and are reviewing the contents under the Film Act"The results will come out soon". According to Article 9 of the Vietnam Film Act, film activities that distort or insult national history are prohibited.




The problematic part is the dialogue scene between Kang Dae-sung (Kang Ha-neul) and Park Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan). When Kang Dae-sung, described as a Marine in the play, said "My father is a Vietnam War veteran," Park Jung-bae praised "My father is a great man." In response, some viewers criticized the South Korean military for praising the South Korean military for participating in the Vietnam War as excellent. It also touched Vietnam's painful wounds", "It's a distortion of history." Signs of boycott were also detected as a sharp reaction.

The Vietnam War was fought for Vietnam's independence and unification, and at that time, the South Korean military dispatched 320,000 troops at the request of the U.S. military.
