Contestant reveals they joined the "Squid Game" reality show after seeing BTS V's (Kim Taehyung) guard cosplay

Kim Taehyung, aka V from BTS, has inspired a fan in an unexpected way. 

In 2021, the South Korean drama series “Squid Game” became a massive global hit, captivating audiences worldwide. Building on its success, a ten-episode British reality competition series was released in November 2023, inspired by the original.

Dubbed “Squid Game: The Challenge,” the show featured real-life contestants competing in a series of high-stakes children’s games for a $4.56 million cash prize.

One of the contestants on “Squid Game: The Challenge,” an influencer who goes by the name “Flawless Kevin,” has recently confessed that he auditioned to be a player after seeing Taehyung cosplay as one of the Squid Game characters.

Kevin humorously revealed, “The real reason why I signed up for Squid Game. 🤭 My fellow cast mates may have been competing for $4.56 million dollars but I was competing for Taehyung’s heart. 😘”
