Have you been keeping up with the second season of hit South Korean series Squid Game?
If so, you'll love Netflix's adorable promotional video featuring its cast members playing traditional children's games from around the world — all under the watchful eye of a pink guard.
In a YouTube video shared by Netflix on Tuesday, 31 December, the cast of Squid Game 2 attempt various games, including some familiar Malaysian ones such as batu seremban, sepak takraw, and guli panjang.
Among them, Park Sung-hoon — who plays transgender character Hyun-ju (Player 120) in the series — stole the spotlight with his impressive play of batu seremban.
Known for his villainous roles in K-dramas such as The Glory and Queen of Tears, Park stunned fans by casually nailing the game in a single try
A 36-second clip of Park's attempt even garnered over 50,000 views and hundreds of admiring comments from Malaysian fans on Netflix Malaysia's Instagram page.
"I love you, Malaysia," he says with a bright smile at the end of the video, winning even more hearts in the comments section.

Meanwhile, his co-stars, Yang Dong-geun (Park Yong-sik/Player 007) and Kang Ha-neul (Kang Dae-ho/Player 388), fared considerably worse
Yang managed only one kick in sepak takraw before dramatically collapsing on the floor and covering his face in mock shame, while Kang hilariously missed all of the marble targets in guli panjang.
"I'm sorry. Please don't shoot me," Kang says to the pink guard at the end of his attempt.
