The KAWS Take On Squid Game’s YOUNG-HEE

This week, KAWS, Netflix, and AllRightsReserved are introducing a fresh twist on “YOUNG-HEE,” the foreboding figure from Squid Game. The collaboration nods to that worldwide buzz—back in 2021, the series practically took over global conversation, racking up more than 330 million hours streamed in its first four weeks. Now, as fans wait for Season 2, this new release gives the show’s eerie character a rework through the KAWS lens: familiar “X”-eyes and that signature sculptural form, presented in a crisp orange look or a pared-back monochrome option.

The drop hits December 20 at 10:30 a.m. HKT online, with a limited supply. If you’re in Seoul, head to the SHINSEGAE Department Store Gangnam pop-up that day at 10:30 a.m. KST. AllRightsReserved, known for connecting global creators and culture-shaping figures, previously teamed with KAWS on similarly sought-after collectibles. Expect these to move fast.
