As we continue to recount our 30 years with KGD, we look back on 2021 when the TV show Squid Game first aired.

Squid Game is a viral Korean series where people in debt compete in high-stakes childhood games that become physically and mentally dangerous, all for a huge cash prize. In the years that followed, Squid Game became the first non-English series to win a major Primetime Emmy. It picked up six wins, including Outstanding Lead Actor (Lee Jung-jae), Outstanding Directing (Hwang Dong-Hyuk), and Outstanding Guest Actress (Lee-Yoomi). It is also the first non-English series to win major acting honors at the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Awards.

Since its airing in 2021, the show has become a household favorite and a frequent topic of conversation in our office. So today, in our DC studio, we asked everyone who they think in our office would win the Squid Game.

Comment on our Instagram reel (link below) with anyone you know at KGD who you think would win!
