Squid Game Keeps the Halloween Spirit Alive
Chen Xiuhuan’s “Creepy‑robot” Revelation
Who knew a midnight snack could become a style statement? In her latest Insta‑story, 56‑year‑old veteran actress Chen Xiuhuan let us in on her last‑minute halloween adventure. The night of October 31st, the Taiwanese star swapped pearls for a zesty orange dress paired with a sunny yellow top, and her hair was split into two slick ponytails— the exact look of the eerie robot girl you remember from episode 1 of Squid Game.
She shared a snapshot that read: “We didn’t plan this Halloween. We just ordered five masks online, and the whole family had a blast.” No elaborate costume kit? No. They simply “dove into their wardrobe” and turned everyday items into a collective costume horror‑fun.
On the eve of the scare, her nephew and his newly‑wedded bride came over to help bake some Dalgona cookies, the sweet‑tasting glazed treats featured in the drama. “They were magnifique,” she added, before finishing with a cheerful “Happy Halloween, everyone!”
