It appears that Squid Game Season 2, the latest release on Netflix, is not just ruling the streaming platform but has also become a sensation on TikTok. This show centers around a group of individuals struggling with financial issues who participate in various life-or-death games to win a substantial monetary reward.
In the second season of the popular South Korean series, multiple competitions were featured, but one in particular stood out among viewers. This particular event not only introduced unexpected plot developments for Season 2, but it also sparked a dance craze known as the “Mingle Dance trend.
So, here’s everything you need to know regarding the frenzy surrounding the said Squid Game dance.
‘Mingle Dance’ trend on TikTok explained
On TikTok, the popular “Mingle Dance” trend seems to have been influenced by a specific scene from the third challenge shown in Squid Game Season 2. This game, called “Mingle,” requires participants to form teams based on the number given within 30 seconds and then proceed into a room with their fellow team members to complete the task.
With a haunting version of Round and Round playing, most participants exhibit feelings of dread and anxiety. In stark contrast, however, contestant Thanos deviates from the norm, mimicking the dance moves from the Bang Bang Bang song by T.OP. This unique response is further highlighted when he connects arms with another player, whirling around in a circle while letting out an eerie, almost mad, laugh.
Capitalizing on the scene’s promise, the Squid Game’s TikTok handle shared a brief video featuring Thanos’ dance. This unforeseen clip amassed an astonishing 158 million views within a week, sparking the Mingle Dance craze across the platform.
After that event, numerous TikTok personalities have come up with their own take on the Round and Round Challenge, where they intertwine arms with companions and twirl around to the beat of the widely popular nursery rhyme. As reported by Dexerto, the Mingle Dance trend has produced approximately 82,000 videos, a large portion of which have gathered more than a million views.
