Citizens of South Korea trooped out en masse on Wednesday to stage a labour union protest clad in Squid Game regalia.

Squid Game has become an international phenomenon and South Korean union workers in their thousands protested unfair labour rights while dressed in outfits inspired by the hit Netflix series.

Media reports reveal that the workers stated that they felt like the characters who participated in the games portrayed in the show, hence their choice of clothing.
