Kim Soo Hyun is causing a major frenzy on social media after the Hallyu star reacts to the viral Squid Game memes.

Amid the worldwide craze of the Netflix series, netizens are creative enough to link the actor's cameo on Crash Landing on You.

To recall, in episodes 10 and 15 of the mega-hit Kdrama, Kim Soo Hyun took on the role of Bang Dong Gu, a North Korea spy who pretends to be a "village idiot." He appeared wearing a green tracksuit and donned messy hair.

Moreover, he also played the same character in the 2013 film "Secretly Greatly."

On October 2, FTISLAND's Lee Hong Ki took to Instagram stories an edited photo of the actor wearing the tracksuit inside the field where the green light, red light game is played.
