Orchard Road got a surprise dose of K-drama and K-pop flair recently when dancers dressed as characters from ‘Squid Game’ busted out fierce moves in the middle of a pedestrian crossing.
A TikTok video posted by @orchardroadfashion showed the costumed crew breaking into a choreographed routine to Katseye’s high-energy track ‘Gnarly’.

Of the five dancers, two donned teal tracksuits resembling those worn by players in the trending Netflix show. Meanwhile, another pair sported the masked pink guards’ outfits.
A cheeky, black-masked Front Man completed the quintet of dancers.
The performers didn’t miss a beat, twirling, leaping, and giving full-on dance battle vibes in the brief window the traffic light allowed.
It was a Korean cultural mashup we didn’t know we needed — the chilling suspense of Squid Game met with an unapologetic sparkle of K-pop.
Most netizens were impressed by the impromptu dance performance, but some expressed concern for the venue of choice.
