Fans celebrate 'Squid Game' finale with Seoul parade

28 June 2025 19:43 Seoul (AFP) Thousands of fans gathered in Seoul on Saturday to celebrate the final "Squid Game" season, ending a global Netflix hit that is seen as a symbol of South Korea's cultural third and final season was released Friday, concluding the series that sees desperate people compete in deadly versions of traditional children's games for a massive cash prize. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he had "poured everything" into the series, which launched nearly four years ago. "So while it's sentimental to see it end," he said, "there's also a sense of relief". Fans gathered near Seoul's Gyeongbokgung Palace, led by marchers dressed in the bright pink uniforms worn by the show's mysterious masked agents. They were followed by others carrying oversize toys from one of the games featured in the series, along with the show's flag. Park Sang-gyu, a fan who stayed up all night watching the final season, said the dystopian drama was "ultimately a story about people". The walls of the Seoul Metropolitan Library were lit up with key scenes, including Young-hee -- the giant motion-sensing animatronic doll featured in one of its brutal games. Lee Byung-hun, who played the masked Front Man overseeing the competition, said the show had become "something of a cultural phenomenon". "One that has drawn one of the boldest lines in the history of Korean content," he said. The first two seasons of the series are among Netflix's most-watched shows, and in 2022, Hwang and the show's leading actor, Lee Jung-jae, became the first Asian men to win Emmy Awards. The final season follows its hero Gi-hun, played by Lee, as he returns to the ultra-violent games to dismantle them from within after surviving the first round. Along with filmmaker Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning 2019 thriller "Parasite" and K-pop sensation BTS, "Squid Game" is considered one of the most powerful examples of South Korea's rise as a global cultural force.

Asharq Discovery licenses documentary series ‘Parenthood' from All3Media

Driven by Sir David Attenborough's narration, 'Parenthood' captures the high-stakes challenges of animal parenting—from spiders to giraffes, otters to crabs, dolphins to hippos, chimpanzees to lions. Asharq Discovery has acquired the rights to air the new Sir David Attenborough-narrated documentary series Parenthood across the Middle East and North Africa, as part of a wave of international sales secured by distributor All3Media International. Produced by the natural history specialists Silverback Films, known for The Hunt and Ocean with David Attenborough, the five-part series explores the universal challenges of raising the next generation in the wild. Over three years, filmmakers captured intimate stories of animal parenting on six continents, using state-of-the-art 8K cameras to film creatures ranging from giraffes and dolphins to spiders and chimpanzees. Ahead of its premiere on the BBC, Parenthood has also been picked up by broadcasters worldwide. In China, CCTV-9 obtained the first linear rights, complemented by non-exclusive digital agreements across major platforms including iQIYI, Tencent Video, Youku, and bilibili. Warner Bros. Discovery will broadcast the series in select Asian markets, while NHK in Japan, a co-production partner, plans to debut a locally adapted version this summer. Additional buyers include Now TV in Hong Kong, Network Ten in Australia, and TVNZ in New Zealand. Commissioned by Jack Bootle, the BBC's Head of Commissioning for Specialist Factual, the series is produced by Silverback Films with Jeff Wilson serving as Series Producer and Director, Keith Scholey as Executive Producer, and Tara Knowles as Production Manager. Rachel Job, SVP Unscripted at All3Media International, said: 'I'm delighted to see 'Parenthood' leaving its footprint around the world. This groundbreaking documentary delivers must-see viewing, using stunning visuals to immerse audiences in the ever-changing and often dangerous world of animal parenting. Packed with engaging characters and capturing behaviours never seen before, these incredible stories — in combination with the film's powerful, relatable message about investing in future generations and the importance of preserving the natural world — are sure to resonate deeply worldwide.' Narrated by Attenborough, the series presents five hour-long films that reveal dramatic, often perilous efforts by animals to raise their young, offering audiences a vivid glimpse into the devotion and sacrifices that drive life in the wild.

Hit the road: take a spontaneous UAE road trip this long weekend

It's officially the Islamic New Year holiday, which means most of us are enjoying a long weekend, and if you haven't planned anything yet, don't sweat it. Sometimes, the best adventures are the unplanned ones. So why not roll the windows down (or keep the AC on), queue up a killer playlist, and head out for a spontaneous UAE road trip? Here's how to make it a good one — whether you're the driver, the DJ, or the designated napper. For the drivers If you love the feel of the wheel and a stretch of open road, the UAE has some of the most satisfying drives in the region. Head to Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah, the tallest mountain in the UAE , for a dramatic drive filled with hairpin bends, incredible cliffside views, and plenty of photo ops. Prefer a coastal cruise? Try the scenic Sharjah to Kalba route, which winds through tunnels, wadis, and mountain passes before opening up to the beach. Add in a breakfast stop at The Hanging Gardens Café on the way, and it's a road trip worth every kilometre. For the in-car DJ Your job is important — mood manager, vibe curator, energy keeper. Download your playlist before you hit the road (because signal drops are a buzzkill) and read the room: morning drives call for something chill (think indie or lo-fi), while sunset cruises pair perfectly with Afrobeats or golden-hour house. Got a longer drive? Bring the AUX cable and rotate playlists between passengers. For a smooth, soundtrack-worthy journey, drive Al Qudra Road just before sunset — golden dunes and wide open views guaranteed. For the nap-lovers Let's be honest — not everyone wants to be in charge. If your ideal role is snack manager and in-car snoozer, choose a longer route like Dubai to Fujairah. It's just under two hours each way — enough time to catch up on sleep without missing the day's adventures. Pack a neck pillow, some comfy shades, and let the hum of the tyres lull you into a blissful car nap. Pro tip: volunteer to handle the return drive (you'll be everyone's favourite). If you need a destination Still want somewhere to aim for? Here are a few quick-fire options: Hatta : For hiking, dam kayaking and mountain views Kalba : For mangroves, beach walks and serene cafés Khorfakkan: For waterfalls, sandy beaches and that iconic amphitheatre Road trip pro tips Fuel up the night before to avoid wasting time in queues. Keep snacks on hand — think fruit, chips, lots of water, and coffee stops. Load your playlist offline to avoid awkward buffering in the middle of your favourite song. Carry cash for random fruit stands, tolls, or spots that don't take cards. Charge your devices — nothing kills a vibe like a dead phone and no music. Bring a hoodie or wrap — cars get cold, and it makes naps cozier. Don't forget your Emirates ID — handy if you're crossing into another emirate or checking into a staycation. > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
