The Real Life "Squid Game" - Thousands Of Koreans Forced To Play Children's Games To NOT Be Killed

Play

They’re all wearing the same blue tracksuit. Thousands of them standing out in the middle of the woods wearing the same thing. What is this place?

 

They’re out in the middle of the woods – in what appears to be a small secretive city? A military base? How did they get 60+ buildings out here in the middle of the forest?

 

And that giant wall… it’s 30 feet tall. Tall enough to keep people out. Or keep them in. 

 

The guards are watching each of the track suit wearing people with precision. One wrong move and you get beat. That’s when they hear it… 

 

The man starts running up onto the roof of one of the buildings – and there he goes. He flies off the top and lands in front of everyone. On his head. 

 

Someone standing right there says – “honestly, I didn’t know the sound of someone’s head exploding could make such a loud splitting sound. I saw his skull explode open.”

 

A guard member walks out and sweeps up his brains and bones as if nothing happened. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? It kind of sounds like the plot of one of the most famous series on Netflix, Squid Game.

 

But it’s not. 

 

This is the real life case of the Brother’s Home in South Korea. 

The true story behind Squid Game.
