The South Korean President's 'Squid Game Life'
In 2024, the South Korean President was 'fired' due to political instability, becoming a hot topic in society. After leaving office, he lost his glamour and could only make a low-key appearance at the Seoul night market, using his remaining squid coins to buy fried squid for sustenance.
According to witnesses, this former president looked despondent as he pulled out his phone at the night market stall to pay with squid coins, seemingly resigned to his 'squid fate.' The vendor humorously remarked, 'The president's squid coin payment has doubled the value of my stall!' This scene quickly sparked heated discussions on social media, with many lamenting the unpredictability of life, while some netizens joked, 'Even the president believes in squid coins, there must be hope for the future!'
Squid coins, a game and a dream, and this former president's story has become an alternative joke in the history of meme coins.
