On Thursday, December 12, to celebrate the highly anticipated return of Squid Game, Netflix hosted a Squid Game-ified 5K — so, a 4.56K — run where over 1700 fans were put into the role of players who competed for the ultimate prize — a coveted seat at an advance screening of the Season 2 premiere. After all ... it's Squid Game.

Cast & producer attendees on the pink carpet at Los Angeles City College included: Hwang Dong-hyuk (Writer/Director/Executive Producer), Kim Ji-yeon (Executive Producer), Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Yim Si-wan, Jo Yu-ri, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim and Lee Seo-hwan with additional Guests Alicia Hannah-Kim, Anna Cathcart, Anthony Keyvan, Arden Cho, Gia Kim, Jesse Kove, Martin Kove, Minyeong Choi, Reagan To, Regan Aliyah, Sang Heon Lee and many more.

Squid Game Season 2 arrives December 26.
