The song is the traditional Korean children's round 'Dunggeulge Dunggeulge', meaning round and round, featured in Squid Game Season 2, released on Netflix in 2024. In the series it plays during the Mingle game, where players must form groups matching a called number or face elimination. Clips of the scene spread quickly on TikTok and YouTube as viewers recreated the game, used the tune for group challenges, and paired it with tense countdown edits. Its simple, innocent melody makes it instantly recognisable, and it remains popular as shorthand for a cheerful game turning suddenly high-stakes.

The cheerful Korean merry-go-round song from Squid Game Season 2, played during the Mingle game as players race to form groups before time runs out.
This is the bright, childlike Korean round song heard in Squid Game Season 2 during the Mingle game, where contestants must quickly gather into groups of a called number. Sung in a light, playful chorus over a simple bouncing melody, it sounds innocent and almost nursery-rhyme sweet, which makes it feel deeply unsettling against the panic on screen. The cheerful tune keeps looping while players scramble, hesitate and push past each other, turning a playground song into a countdown. It captures the show's contrast between childhood games and deadly stakes, leaving listeners with a catchy melody and a tense, uneasy feeling long after it ends.
