Squid Game is a South Korean survival drama that became a global hit on Netflix, and its second season introduced the Mingle game, where players must quickly form groups as music plays. Clips of that cheerful game music spread quickly on TikTok, where creators paired it with an iPhone-style ringing intro to mimic an incoming call. The short format fits ringtones and video openings perfectly, so the sound has stayed popular as a quick, recognisable cue for tension, surprises, and Squid Game-themed edits.
