Couple dressed in 'Squid Game' gear shop at Checkers
We love how mainstream 'Squid Game' has become, with fans from all walks of life connecting with it.
The return of 'Squid Game' Season 2 on Netflix has been a gift many fans felt was a late Christmas surprise.
The first season of the 'Squid Game' saw "hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. A tempting prize awaits with deadly high stakes: a survival game with a whopping 45.6 billion won prize at stake." (IMDb)
Some dedicated fans, however, took their love for the show to the streets of Johannesburg.
Li-Chi Pan, a content creator and businesswoman, and her husband, both avid 'Squid Game' fans, wore matching tracksuits inspired by the show in public.

The couple shared their passion for 'Squid Game' by proudly wearing their turquoise tracksuits, each featuring their respective contestant numbers.
Li-Chi wore the number 218, while her husband sported 456 – the number of the show's protagonist. Ironically, the two were childhood friends in the series, so it was quite significant that they chose those numbers.
Li-Chi shared: "Husband asked if we could go out in public with our tracksuits… I accepted the dare."
And so, they made their debut at a Checkers store, where they even had a conversation with two staff members about their favourite moments from 'Squid Game'.
Watch them shop at Checkers in this fun TikTok video.
