As the Netflix series 'Squid Game' season 3 generates another global sensation, China is illegally spying on it.

According to the global over-the-top (OTT) ranking site FlixPatrol, 'Squid Game 3,' which was released on the 27th of last month, has maintained its position at number one in the Netflix global TV show institutional sector for five consecutive days. It recorded the number one spot for five days in a row in all 93 countries where FlixPatrol tallies its rankings.

As of the 3rd, more than 21,000 reviews related to 'Squid Game 3' have been posted on Douban, China's largest review site, with over 55,000 participants in the star rating evaluations.

Currently, Netflix is not officially available in China, suggesting that viewers have illegally watched 'Squid Game 3' and left reviews afterward.

Professor Seo Kyung-deok of Sungshin Women's University criticized, "Currently, 'illegal viewing' has become a daily occurrence in China," adding, "It's astonishing that they do not feel any shame about it."

Professor Seo emphasized, "It is now time for the Chinese authorities to take action," stating, "They must implement a concentrated crackdown on illegal activities by their citizens to prevent such incidents from happening again."
