Individuals facing life's end due to immense debt or dire troubles are drawn into a death game where "lose and you die" with a prize money high enough for a "life-changing windfall"! This is the Netflix series "Squid Game." Its highly anticipated second season begins its global exclusive stream on Thursday, December 26, 2024. Amidst this, the Young-hee doll, which appeared in the first episode of Season 1 and became the "face" of the series, is finally being released as a Sofubi figure!

In Season 1, the unreliable protagonist Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), who lives with his elderly mother, gambles daily, and is pursued by loan sharks, is guided by a mysterious salesman (played by Gong Yoo) into games based on familiar childhood activities like "Red Light, Green Light" and tug-of-war. After its release, it topped the "Top 1 Overall Today" chart in 94 countries worldwide, becoming Netflix's biggest hit series ever.

The "Young-hee doll" appearing now as a Sofubi figure served as the facilitator for the first game, "Red Light, Green Light" (known in Korea as "Mugunghwa kkochi piotsseumnida"), in the first episode of Season 1. Her appearance—a retro-style girl in a yellow shirt, red dress, and white high socks—was inspired by characters found in 1980s Korean school textbooks, according to the director.

The shocking development, where the doll's head rotates with a motor sound as the "Red Light, Green Light" chant plays, and anyone caught moving when she turns around is eliminated—shot dead—caused a huge stir among viewers. She is the iconic character that propelled "Squid Game" to massive success.

The "Sofubi YOUNG-HEE" released by MEDICOM TOY this time is a faithful three-dimensional reproduction of her appearance in the series. Not only her expression, but also the articulation in her head, shoulders, and wrists allows for the recreation of her memorable poses.

The long-awaited "Squid Game" Season 2 will begin streaming on Netflix on Thursday, December 26, 2024. Seong Gi-hun, the sole winner of the previous games who claimed the prize money, throws himself back into the death game to expose all the masterminds and put an end to the brutal games in a thrilling story. Furthermore, the concluding Season 3 is scheduled for release in 2025. Prepare for the upcoming finale with the Young-hee doll!
