From the very first episode of Squid Game, we get into the atmosphere of the game for good. But what do the lyrics of the song in the series that went viral mean?
Squid Game views worldwide are rising rapidly, bringing the Netflix line to the top of the list of the most viewed in the platform's history. Naturally, everything about the "Squid Game" goes viral, from the cookies to the players' uniforms. Something similar happens with the Korean song, which we hear in the first game.
Surely you understand what we are talking about. It has stuck in your head too, without having any idea what its lyrics mean. It is the song we hear from the giant doll, in the first game of Squid Game, "Red Light, Green Light", or otherwise known to all of us "Statues unheard, unspoken, unsmiling".
This particular song, then, has a verse that is repeated and is "무궁화 꼬찌 피엇 소리 다". Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like it aint for me either. Transferring the verse to the Latin vocabulary, it looks something like "Mugunghwa Kkoci Pieot Seumnida". Even now, however, we do not understand much.
If we try to make a free translation of the verse, then, it seems that it has little to do with the game. He does not talk about statues, but neither about green and red lights. Instead, it speaks of a flower. "Syrian hibiscus is in bloom," says the Squid Game doll in free translation. And the moment that particular flower blooms, the players must remain motionless, otherwise they will "leave" the game.
What has Syrian hibiscus got to do with Squid Game? You see, this particular flower is the national plant of South Korea. So as far as you can tell it is connected and there is a logical explanation.
