Which Asian Market Could Produce The Next ‘Squid Game’-Size Hit In 2022?

The year 2021 was the year of Squid Game.
If one piece of content caught the zeitgeist on the world stage over the last 12 months it was Netflix’s Korean-language Battle Royale-style capitalism satire.
According to the streamer, the show smashed previous records to become Netflix’s most-watched title of all time, racking up a mighty 1.65 billion viewing hours (equivalent to 182,000 years) in 28 days following its premiere in September.
