Abstract

Squid Game series became a famous worldwide film that stole audiences’ huge attention. Several reviews have been done about the social-capitalism side of this film. Besides, there is also a review of the nine main characters of this film. But this study focuses on Seong Gi Hun’s religiosity represented in the Squid Game film series because there is still no review about this theme. Although Squid Games is not a religious film, we can still analyze this aspect with particular religiosity theory because it is about behavior, not attached to any religion. This study uses Stuart Hall’s representation and religiosity theory from Thouless, Glock, and Stark. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The data is taken from the film transcript. Using these theories and methods, the researchers found that Seong Gi Hun’s religiosity represented in Squid Games Film Series is included in the religious effect dimension based on Glock and Stark. Then according to Thouless, it is included in internal factors, especially the life factor.
