This is not the first time that North Korean propaganda sites have done something like this.
Its just, who exactly is all this grandstanding for?
As you might imagine, North Korea doesnt have Netflix.

(Though, it didcreate a Netflix-like appcalled My Companion 4.0 in 2017.)
Internet access as we know it in the U.S. is limited to those with special permission.
Basically, the average North Korean citizen isnt likely to have access to Squid Game.
It is possible that Squid Game might make it across the 48th parallel.
Its a dangerous past-time, however.
Those caught watching South Korean dramasface getting imprisoned, sent to labor camps, or executed.
Thats in addition to the fact the whole series negatively portrays arbitrary violence and executions over rule-breaking.
The irony of all this is truly next-level self-ownage.
Then again, perhaps no one writing the propaganda has watched the actual show.
