Squid Game Faces Boycott in Vietnam Over Vietnam War Portrayal

Credited from: SCMP

  • A backlash in **Vietnam** has emerged against the second season of **Squid Game** due to dialogue referencing the Vietnam War.
  • The **Culture Ministry's Cinema Department** in Vietnam is evaluating if the series breaches local laws, assessing if it misrepresents the nation's history.
  • Critics have expressed outrage over the portrayal of a character describing his family’s military past in a way that seemed to **glorify South Korean soldiers** from the Vietnam War.
  • Some Vietnamese commentators stated it is **incorrect** to depict Korean veterans as **honourable figures**, accusing the series of **whitewashing** wartime atrocities.
  • This is not the first case; Korean dramas previously faced scrutiny in Vietnam, including a **2022 incident** leading to the removal of Little Women from Netflix.
