Squid Game invades Lalaport BBCC with giant dolls and fan challenges for final season premiere
KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 — Before it became Lalaport Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC), the site was home to the infamous Pudu Jail. Now, for this weekend only, the iconic location will host a mini 'Squid Game' themed arena in conjunction with the premiere of the Netflix series' final season. The Lalaport Plaza Entrance, near the water fountain, has been transformed into a vibrant homage to the hit series. Towering over the event are two 22-foot dolls: the infamous Young-hee and her counterpart Cheol-su, who first appeared in the post-credit scene of Season 2. Both dolls will preside over a game of 'Jumping Ropes,' inviting visitors to participate. Fans can also immerse themselves in life-sized recreations of iconic backdrops from the show, including a giant Dalgona cookie with a unique Malaysian twist and a Biseokchigi or 'Flying Stone' game set. Members of the public are encouraged to dress as their favourite Squid Game characters, creating their own Player 456-inspired memories.
