Dalgona coffee is so last year. Now Dalgona itself is way more trendy.For a while, Dalgona wasn’t that popular. It was nothing more than a candy from our parents’ childhood. The Dalgona game, now one of the most popular challenges, was considered just an old game and was almost totally forgotten about. However, Dalgona made a splash last year with Dalgona coffee and this year, thanks to ‘Squid Game’ it’s one of the most popular candies in the world. There’s a Dalgona stand near Hyehwa station that actually supplied the candy to the show.

The scene where Seong Gi-Hoon meets Gong Yoo and plays Ddakji took place on this platform. For those who watched the show, it was an unforgettable moment. A lot of people are playing Ddakji after watching ‘Squid Game’ for the nostalgia. It reminds them of their childhood when they used to play Ddakji in school or at the park.The fact that they played Ddakji in a subway station makes the scene so much more stunning. Korean subway stations can sometimes look futuristc, just like Yangjae Citizen’s Forest Station does. The contrast between the Gangnam-bound platform with the Ddakji game creates a fascinating scene. For any Koreans, it’s just another subway station, but now the story of ‘Squid Game’ has been added. If you've ever wondered about the location of the Ddakji game in the beginning of ‘Squid Game,’ head to Yangjae Citizen’s Forest Station (Gangnam-bound platform). Head out of the station to see Yangjae Citizen’s Forest and enjoy the view of the Han River.

One of the vibes you can only get in Korea is enjoying a simple snack and hanging out in front of a convenient store. One of the things tourists want to do most in Korea is having snacks at a convenience store. To most Koreans, there’s nothing special about it. However, it truly is unique to Korean culture that’s portrayed in so many K-Dramas.You can also see this in ‘Squid Game.’ Seong Gi-Hoon meets Oh Il-Nam while drinking away his sorrows with soju in front of a convenience store. A lot of foreigners find it unique and unusual that Seong Gi-Hoon was drinking in front of a dark convenient store late at night. But remember, unlike in the movies or the shows, it’s illegal to drink inside or outside of a convenience store. So, if you visit any convenience stores, don’t drink, but just enjoy some snacks with soda. The convenient store fron ‘Squid Game’ is CU Ssangmun Uicheon Branch.Yes. It’s the same Ssangmun-dong from Reply 1988. You can visit Ssangmun-dong and CU from ‘Squid Game’ at the same time.
