Manipur Viral Video: In Manipur, the love for Korean culture is shining through in the most creative way—a Squid Game-inspired roadside stall. A viral video captures this unique setup in Imphal, where stall owners, dressed like the show’s masked guards, sell dalgona candies shaped like umbrellas, stars, triangles, and circles. Korean trends have taken India by storm, but Manipur’s connection runs even deeper. From entertainment to fashion and food, the influence is everywhere. This stall is just another example of how the craze of Squid Game continues to thrive in Manipur.
In the viral video, the vendor can be seen dressed in pink suits with black masks, like the Pink Soldiers from Squid Game. The classic Korean dalgona candies are neatly arranged on the table, each stamped with different symbols, like in the show. Nearby, a basket holds folded paper tiles for the traditional ddakji game. Adding to the theme, a banner featuring Squid Game’s title and a picture of lead actor Lee Jung-Jae completes the setup, making the stall feel straight out of the series.
