The proclamation is part of AAPI LA, a city initiative intended to amplify AAPI community voices.
City officials proclaimed Sept. 17 as “Squid Game Day'' in Los Angeles during a news briefing today, with Mayor Eric Garcetti, Councilman John Lee and members from the hit Netflix show gathering at City Hall.“Squid Game” was nominated for 14 Emmy Awards in July and is the first non-English language series to earn a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series. It was also the first Korean and first non-English language series to win a Screen Actors Guild Award.
“In Los Angeles, we celebrate art, diversity and the cultural contributions that many creators give not only Los Angeles but the world,” Garcetti said."I'm proud to stand alongside city leaders and the creative industry to uplift the work that comes across the Pacific from our Korean film and television friends, and their many additions to our cultural fabric.''
