were similar to the red jumpsuit of the main characters in the Spanish drama "Money Heist," but in the region,
they are busy introducing their explosive popularity.
In addition, there are many articles about whether season 2 is being planned and
when it will be if season 2 is planned and about the cast of "Squid Game."
Spain's public broadcaster channel "Antena 3" mentioned "Squid Game" several times on TV criticism programs,
saying, "The main character Ki-hoon and Il-nam may be family members," and "Netflix has never officially mentioned Season 2,"
as to whether it is possible, but it is true that season 2 has grown the possibility of Season 2."
Spain's leading daily newspapers ELMUNDO and ELPAIS also reported the huge popularity of Squid Game.

Of course, such a tremendous success of Korean dramas is to be proud of,
but there are growing concerns in Spain as the violence of dramas may adversely affect teenagers.
This is because although it is rated as not available to teenagers, many children are already watching,
and the games that appeared in the Squid Game, which adds violence, are very popular among them.
In Spanish schools, as Mugunghwa flowers bloomed in squid games on the playground became rapidly popular among children
with violence as in the drama, voices are increasing to ban them from children under the age of 16.
Of course, on the other hand, he explains that it is impossible to blindly ban play or force children not to watch dramas,
so it is a priority to make children understand whether they should not watch them.
A unique survival game drama was created based on childhood play, and on the other hand,
it is regrettable that the creativity spread violently to Koreans,
reminiscent of the pure days of childhood when they played freely with friends when there was no computer or Internet.
In addition, the Spanish Translators Association (ATRAE) said,
"The Spanish subtitles of the Squid Game translated into a machine translation system were terrible.
The system, which translates first and corrects people, not only significantly degrades
the quality of interpretation but only pays 60 euros to 100 euros.
" Netflix's spanish misinterpretation has been criticized for a long time,
but it is the first time that the Spanish Interpreters Association has officially voiced its voice.
They pointed out that Spanish translation has not accurately translated Korean honorifics from the first episode,
and that words used in play are not translated properly.
There is no disagreement that concerns and criticisms surrounding "Squid Game" disprove its enormous popularity.
The syndrome is expected to continue for a while.
In addition, the popularity and interest of each cast member of "Squid Game" are explosive.
El Pais also delivered in detail the interview that actor Oh Young-soo,
who played the first participant "Ilnam," appeared in the Korean entertainment program "Hangout with Yoo."
Currently, squid games continue to be popular in Spain's Netflix Top 10, while another Korean drama My Name ranks fourth.
Spanish media describe "My Name" as "the successor to "Squid Game."
The propaganda of Korean dramas settled in the world's home turf through Netflix is expected to continue in Spain.
