KAWS Reinterprets "YOUNG-HEE" Character To Celebrate 'Squid Game' Season 2 Premiere

As a long-time fan of both KAWS and Squid Game, I can hardly contain my excitement for this incredible collaboration! The way these two powerhouses have merged their unique worlds is nothing short of genius. I remember binge-watching Squid Game last year, my heart pounding in my chest with every tense moment, and now to see Young-Hee transformed into a KAWS COMPANION figure is just mind-blowing!

In collaboration with Netflix and AllRightsReserved, KAWS has produced an exclusive collectible item to mark the arrival of the second season of Squid Game.

The global reach of the Korean thriller game show saw the first season captivate viewers worldwide, capturing a staggering 330 million views to date. Ahead of the Squid Game Season 2 premiere, ARR has partnered with KAWS and Netflix to create a set of “YOUNG-HEE” collectibles. Inspired by both KAWS’ iconic character the COMPANION and the bone-chilling character from the series, the collectible design sees Young-Hee as a puppet with two tufts of hair in an orange dress look, fusing KAWS’ COMPANION aesthetic with the “X”-crossed eyes and dynamic hands and arm poses. Another model arrives in a monotone colorway for the 15-inch tall figure.

On December 20th, at 10:30 a.m. Hong Kong Time, the KAWS “YOUNG-HEE” will be released online on a first-come, first-served basis until supplies last. Additionally, this collectible item will also be accessible during a temporary pop-up event at SHINSEGAE Department Store Gangnam in Seoul, starting from 10:30 a.m. Korean Standard Time on December 20th.
