Squid Game Season 2: Mingle Song
In Squid Game Season 2, the "Mingle" game features a hauntingly cheerful tune titled "Round and Round" (둥글게 둥글게), a traditional Korean children's song. This melody plays during the intense "Mingle" game rounds, where contestants must quickly form groups matching a randomly announced number, with those failing to do so facing immediate elimination.
The juxtaposition of this innocent nursery rhyme with the game's deadly stakes amplifies the psychological tension, a hallmark of the series' use of music to contrast innocence with brutality. The lyrics of "Round and Round" are lighthearted, encouraging children to dance and play together, which starkly contrasts the perilous situation of the players.
