I swear everyone lost it — we were all freaking out! We all had the chance per group to have up close photos/videos and a group photo too,&quot; he recalled.</p><p>Richard also shared another highlight from the event: receiving a signed <em>Squid Game</em> pink ball from none other than TOP. </p><p>&quot;They told us it was just gonna be a parade and watching the event with the cast. We were sitting on the front row and when the show ended, out of nowhere the stars came out and started tossing signed pink <em>Squid Gam</em>e balls into the crowd. I was panicking, didn’t know what to do, and at first I didn’t even realize they were signed — I caught one and ended up handing it to other people around me before it hit me what it actually was. It was such a wild moment!&quot; he relayed. </p><p><em>Squid Game</em> season 3 premiered on Netflix on June 27. The third season made history, debuting at No. 1 in every country where Netflix officially tracks and ranks viewership.</p>
