What Is the Squid Game Meme?

This two-panel template shows two close-ups of men in green tracksuits against pink walls. In the top panel, a man smiles broadly; in the bottom panel, a different man looks stern and unsmiling. The contrast is used to show a shift from happiness or confidence to seriousness, disappointment, or an intimidating reaction.
