This collection features six new eyewear designs in two colours each, from the green player tracksuits and the Young-hee doll, to the surreal maze-like pastel-coloured staircases. Each pair of glasses also comes packaged in a limited-edition case designed to resemble the iconic 'coffin' from Squid Game, as well as a soft pouch that doubles as an eyeglass wipe.

If you're a fan of Player 456, you would like the Tracksuit model which offers trendy square frames in the unmistakable green of each contestant's tracksuits, along with 456's number and the pink guards' signature symbols subtly detailed along the temples.

Those who love the 'Red Light, Green Light' doll would probably like the Young-hee model — a pair of oversized Boston-shaped frames with 3D touches inspired by her hairband and pigtails.

For the Piggy Bank model, you'll find hexagon-shaped frames with bill-patterned temples and a cheeky pig motif along the nose bridge for a playful twist.

Exude a bit of mystery just like the game's elusive overseer with the Frontman model, featuring polygonal Boston frames and temples that mimic mesh, stamped with the familiar circle, triangle, and square motifs of the guards.

Of course, who can forget the colourful flights of stairs that the players take to head to the next game? The Staircase model features clear Boston frames reminiscent of dalgona candy, with temple tips that trace the pastel maze of staircases.

Lastly, a decision-making process that was incorporated in season two gets honoured here with the OX model and its sharp square frames, marked with both O and X symbols.
The OWNDAYS x Squid Game collection is now available at all OWNDAYS stores, as well as online at owndays.com.

Here's why K-pop Demon Hunters deserves its overnight fame
The world will know you as pop stars, but you will be much more than that. You will be Hunters. K-pop Demon Hunters wastes no time in setting its premise. In the first few seconds of the animated musical fantasy film, hoards of excitable fans stream into a stadium in anticipation of the final world tour stop of their favourite K-pop group: Huntr/x. They gush to a cameraman about their favourite members in the trio—Rumi, Mira and Zoey—with light sticks in tow, fan-made banners and an unrivalled fervour that is all-too-familiar for any K-pop fan today. Courtesy of Netflix What of the stars of the show? They're simultaneously revealed to be living the double life as demon hunters—a duty passed down from their ancestors before them. Right before making their big entrance, they're fighting off literal demons in the sky who have hijacked the private jet that's taking them to their concert venue—breaking out into song whilst they're at it. Their voices and their music, the very tools of resistance against the darkness and the Demon King, Gwi-Ma. Exactly the sort of metaphor we love to see for the global, unifying phenomenon that is K-pop. Courtesy of Netflix Over the past few weeks, the summer Netflix release has been basking in its spotlight, spawning fans from everywhere. Whether it was the electrifying animation they were drawn to, the heartbreakingly attractive bad news that is The Saja Boys, the catchy tunes on all fronts or the spot-on parallels with K-pop culture, there have been plenty of fodder to chew on for the film's audiences—no matter their age, or where they came from. Much like the sudden virality of the film, most wouldn't have expected The Saja Boys to surpass the chart rankings of their real-life sunbaes , BTS, with their final song, 'Your Idol' on the US Spotify list. Nor would it have been expected that Huntr/x's catchy 'Golden' would be entered for Academy Award consideration in the Best Original Song category. The Saja Boys (from left to right): Mystery Saja, Baby Saja, Jinu Saja, Abby Saja and Romance Saja Courtesy of Netflix Yet credit is due, especially since there's a lot more than meets the eye in K-pop Demon Hunters . Beyond the bubblegum pop and fantastically bizarre characters, here's what the animated film actually gets right about fan culture and the K-pop industry as a whole—done in cheeky nods, fictional character tropes and the underlying narrative of mystical folklore that's dying for a sequel. 1 / 5 The hilarious demon-ification of boy bands Welcome to the dark side. Knowing that its pure fantasy makes this plot point a real winner. The Saja Boys—consisting of Jinu Saja, Abby Saja, Romance Saja, Mystery Saja and Baby Saja—are ultimately demons who are using their popularity to steal human souls for Gwi-Ma. Whilst the individual tropes of the members are extremely on the nose, we're not oblivious to the extreme metaphor of a heartthrob boy group that's fully capable of controlling the moods of their fans and taking over their lives. Courtesy of Netflix 2 / 5 The plight of female K-pop idols It may not have been its initial intention, but Rumi's characterisation just might be one of the realest revelations in K-pop Demon Hunters . Bearing scars as a half-demon, she covers up her body as advised by her foster mother Celine—afraid to show them to anyone, not even her hunter sisters Mira and Zoey. Not only is she closed up, but she's not able to fully relax and fully show her real self. Whilst not direct, her insecurities mirror the harsh plight of female K-pop idols at times—who are constantly criticised for their appearance more than anything else. Courtesy of Netflix 3 / 5 The unserious naming of its K-pop groups Huntr/x. The Saja Boys. These are definitely plays on the sometimes questionable way in which the industry names their K-pop groups. Think of TXT being Tomorrow x Together, IZ*ONE or BTS's original name in Korean, The Bulletproof Boys. 4 / 5 The show of sisterhood Throughout the film, the bond between the Huntr/x girls seems impenetrable—but Rumi's big secret looms over their reality. When the friendship threatens to break, it's them coming together again and accepting each other for what each other are that helps them rise again. No longer fragmented by Gwi-Ma, their friendship and the strength of sisterhood prevails. 5 / 5 It gets fandom culture to a tee The lightsticks. The fan support. Shipping your favourite idols together (we stan Rujinu too). It's immediately familiar to any K-pop fan out there, but the film's strength also lies in its ability to show the more heartfelt side of fandom culture. When Rumi finally accepts who she is—part superhunter and part demon—it's the souls of her fans who still believe in her and Jinu's humanity—both given willingly —that propels her on to sing and defeat Gwi-Ma. Earlier in the film, it's a little fan's drawing that shows Jinu possessing a soul, which also stirs something within him. The Huntr/x girls also get riled up every time a demon threatens to eat their fans. An unserious yet impactful show of the binding power, K-pop Demon Hunters proves to be a wild joyride for anyone who's ever experienced the emotional pull of being a fan.

Live-action Solo Leveling series announced by Netflix, Byeon Woo-seok to star as Sung Jin-woo
Kpop Demon Hunters may be ruling Netflix now, but the streaming platform will soon bring back its OG Hunter – this time in live-action form. On Thursday morning (Jul 10), Netflix announced that it will produce a Korean live-action series adaptation of the hit fantasy series Solo Leveling. The lead actor who will be slaying monsters as Sung Jin-woo is none other than Lovely Runner star Byeon Woo-seok. First conceived as a web novel in 2016, Solo Leveling follows the story of Sung Jin-woo, an E-rank Hunter, the lowest tier of Hunters, who gains extraordinary abilities after a near-death experience. As he levels up, he becomes humanity's hope, fighting monstrous threats emerging from beyond the mysterious Gates. The series gained a global audience following its webtoon and anime adaptations in 2018 and 2024, respectively. Solo Leveling has become one of the most popular franchises currently, with its web novel and webtoon garnering a cumulative 14.3 billion views worldwide. Its anime adaptation was the first Korean animation to score nine major categories at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, including Anime Of The Year and Best Character. In a statement, Netflix said that the upcoming live-action Solo Leveling series will "feature vivid characters, dynamic action sequences, and exhilarating quests, brought to life by a world-class global VFX team". The series will be directed by Lee Hae-jun and Kim Byung-seo, who previously worked together on the award-winning 2014 film My Dictator.
