"Squid Game" is back. Netflix's most popular show ever, a dystopian South Korean vision of divided society, held the premiere to its highly anticipated second season on Monday as the country battles real-life political chaos.
The show's return comes just days after South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol triggered a national crisis by briefly declaring martial law, until he was forced into a dramatic reversal by determined lawmakers, who battled heavily armed soldiers in parliament to vote it down.
Yoon remains in office having survived an impeachment bid, with his party accused of staging a "second coup" to cling on to power, the opposition vowing to try to remove him again, and massive street protests expected this weekend.
