Adding subtitles Arguably the more favored of the two options, especially for regular K-drama and anime viewers, would be subtitles. Squid Game is available in over 30 languages, including English, French, and the original Korean.In English subs, though, viewers get two options - English subtitles, and English [CC]. Several viewers of the show have recommended using English subtitles over [CC] or Closed captions, for an accurate translation.신류진@ryujinisbaby@ymmayer You have to watch it with the regular english subtitles and not the closed captions! The CC is for the dub!5:38 AM · Oct 1, 20212985224@ymmayer You have to watch it with the regular english subtitles and not the closed captions! The CC is for the dub! https://t.co/AcyFUf9A9GKelly 🎢@qkyubodan@ymmayer fyi there are 2 different subtitles options! One is the cc of the eng dub and the other is the more accurate subtitles3:43 AM · Oct 1, 202173655@ymmayer fyi there are 2 different subtitles options! One is the cc of the eng dub and the other is the more accurate subtitlesClosed Captions are generally for those hard of hearing, and thus include extraneous details such as characters footsteps, yawns, shrieks, and music. These are mostly automatically generated, rather than manually written, and thus give the viewer an inauthentic experience.English subtitles on the other hand, exclude the extraneous details, and thus can give a closer translation of the Korean dialogs. 2. Dubbing The other option available for non-Korean viewers is dubbing. Currently available in over 10 languages, Netflix has made use of dedicated dubbing crews for each language. The English voice artist, being Asian American, has reportedly given an extra air of authenticity to the dubbed version, although the internet is divided about its efficiency. Fans weigh in on sub vs dub debateViewers of Squid Game are divided over which one makes for a better watch. While the pro-subtitles section has pointed out how dubbed words rarely match the actor's lips, the (very small) pro-dubbing faction has claimed that having to constantly read subtitles can be distracting.Abi⁷ JIMIN DAYY 🐥@candidtaehyungI SHOULDNT HAVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO NOO THE ENGLISH DUB 😭😭 U TELLING ME PPL RLY WATCHED SQUID GAME LIKE THIS8:03 AM · Oct 9, 2021262I SHOULDNT HAVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO NOO THE ENGLISH DUB 😭😭 U TELLING ME PPL RLY WATCHED SQUID GAME LIKE THIS https://t.co/pqu7DQ4Aictop viral horse girl videos@loonajucheSquid game english dub reaction video meme9:53 AM · Oct 9, 202114224Squid game english dub reaction video meme https://t.co/SiIc2H6dEd🎃spooky ᵘʷᵘ👻ジャミ@JamiUwUsThere is no way people actually watch Squid Game in English dub 🤣7:37 AM · Oct 11, 2021943101There is no way people actually watch Squid Game in English dub 🤣 https://t.co/RH7ruMa3iIMicaela (ミカエラ)@ciaelaMan, the “squid game subtitles aren’t accurate” discourse really split the internet.

Marvel director Taika Waititi, too, appeared to be pro-sub, along with millions of K-drama and anime viewers around the world. The English dub, though, has given fans a chance to show their creativity, one hilarious meme at a time.
