Implications of the Ethics of Life and Society's Views on the South Korean Series: Squid Game
Since last September, Indonesia has been shocked by the Squid Game series on Netflix, which has managed to occupy the number one favorite series worldwide. In this series, there are life problems for every character, in which they fight for each other's position without caring about the lives of each other in getting prizes. Researchers want to know how people understand the value of players’ life in the Squid Game series and its implications for everyday life. Respondents are at least 18 years old and have watched all the Squid Game series episodes. Processing research data using quantitative methods require respondents to fill out four essay questions in the form and two multiple choices. We also collect data using qualitative methods, which is interviewing three respondents. The results of the three respondents we interviewed, they all agreed that the value of life in the Squid Game series could be implied in daily life. However, people who participated in this survey were general respondents with no specific requirements. The researcher suggests that further research can use a more detailed scope of respondents, such as the academic community of Airlangga University, to get more in-depth answers. This study examines the implications of axiological values and people's views on the Squid Game series, which has received much public attention. Researchers have limited research and reference lists in this study.
