In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 8,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of Squid Game Energy Drink Green Melon

Upon opening, a sweet aroma reminiscent of melon candy and melon ice cream spreads out. It has the kind of melon scent that Japanese people typically imagine, without the grassy smell often found in North American melon flavors. Now, let’s try drinking it.

When I took a sip, a gently sweet and mild melon flavor spread across my mouth. This melon flavor turned out to be far more impressive than I had imagined.

The light sweetness pairs exquisitely with a slightly exaggerated melon candy aroma, creating a refreshing and realistic melon flavor—not weak at all.

Even after finishing the drink, the smooth sweetness continues softly and gradually.

At the same time, the melon aroma lingers gently, and in that lingering aftertaste, it starts to taste remarkably like real melon flesh. I was truly amazed by how perfectly crafted this melon flavor was—far beyond my expectations.

The design features the “Younghee doll” from the "Red Light, Green Light" game in Squid Game, conveying the impact of the series.

I had hoped that, following the three iconic symbols of Squid Game—circle, triangle, and square—with Younghee representing the circle and the pink soldier the triangle, the remaining square-themed energy drink would also be released. However, even in Squid Game 2 and 3, the third drink was never launched.

The back of the can shares the same design as the Korean Netflix energy drinks, displaying the Netflix logo, catchphrases, and ingredient information.

At this point, four Netflix-related energy drinks have been released, all zero sugar with impressively high-quality flavors.
