Squid Game is a 9-episode series on Netflix. It follows players as they complete children’s games for a chance to win a large cash prize. All players are deeply in debt, so the prize of ₩45.6 billion is quite the grand prize! However, the penalty for failure in a challenge is death.((Wikipedia article about Squid Game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid_Game))
Solji says she was inspired by the dalgona candies in round 2 of Squid Game. The challenge is to create these sugar candies then punch out shapes in them. At the end of the video, Solji gives us her tips for how to complete the challenge successfully.((Solji’s Dalgona Challenge Video: https://youtu.be/xr4dgYD7LyQ))
