Just aired on the afternoon of December 26, "Squid Game" (The Squid Game) season 2 immediately caused a reaction because of the characters' conversations related to the war in Vietnam.

Specifically in episode 5, when telling his family story, character Kang Dae-ho (played by Kang Ha Neul) said, "My father fought in Vietnam." The main character Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) listened and commented, "Your father is a great person," while the other characters also expressed their admiration.

In addition, the veteran's name also implies "Big Tiger" according to the character's explanation in the film.

These details immediately caused outrage among the Vietnamese movie-going community. During the period from 1964 to 1973, hundreds of thousands of South Korean soldiers, as allies of the United States, were sent to Vietnam to fight.

There are posts that even point out the connection between the name "Dai Ho," the registration number of player 388 (the character who said the above line) and the Go Dai massacre in Tay Son district, Binh Dinh in 1966.

The Department of Cinema said it had received the information and was verifying the situation. "We will have an official response and conclusion after careful consideration and evaluation. If the film "Squid Game 2' "If anyone violates the Cinema Law, we will handle it in accordance with the provisions of the law," said Deputy Director of the Cinema Department, Mr. Do Quoc Viet.

Just released on the afternoon of December 26, Squid Game has caused outrage in Vietnam.

War crimes have prompted Koreans to apologize many times on different occasions, such as the "Apologize to Vietnam" movement initiated by Dr. Ku Su Jeong of Vietnamese History in the late 1990s, President Kim Dae-jung's apology during his state visit to Vietnam in 2001, or the Koreans placing a statue apologizing to Vietnam on Jeju Island in 2017 and many other activities.

Previously in 2022, Netflix also had to remove the movie. "Little Women" removed from the film archive in Vietnam for including information praising Korean soldiers as heroes when fighting in Vietnam. In addition, the film also included many unfounded distortions, most notably the line "The Operations Department only selects the bravest and most agile soldiers. The kill-to-death ratio is 20:1. That is, one Korean soldier kills 20 Viet Cong"...

At that time, the management agency determined that the violation was under Clause 4, Article 9 of the Press Law on distorting history, denying revolutionary achievements, and insulting the nation; at the same time, this was also a violation of prohibited acts in cinema activities as stipulated in Clause 4, Article 11 of the Cinema Law with similar content to the above provision in the Press Law./.
