It is a well-known fact that Korean shows are not limited to Korea itself. Even in its juvenile days of recently exploded popularity, it was limited to a niche audience as many of us were sceptical about the actual worth of the show.
But it looks like India has accepted Korean shows wholeheartedly. Every day Korean content can be easily seen trending on Netflix, which is enough to acknowledge the interest of Indians.
But the actual surprise comes after the fact that they are even more popular in India than they are in Korea itself.
We are talking about none other than the global sensation Squid Game. It is perhaps the first Korean show that brought together all the cinephiles. Even the people who used to despise Korean content watched and appreciated the show for its unique content.
Shown above is the official Netflix data that shows that Squid Game has maintained its position in the top 10 TV shows for 23 weeks.
The data is the latest one wherein we can easily see that people are still not over the Squid Game fever.
But does the show have a similar impact in Korea?
Let’s find out.
Again it is official data from Netflix that clearly says that Squid Game remained in the top 10 TV shows only for 15 weeks.
Also, it is not finding a place in the top 10 for the last two weeks.
This is a clear indication of the insane popularity that Squid Game has in India.
