South Korean drama of the mercifully fictional kind as Netflix winds up the Squid Game hype machine in Paris
Some 50,000 people applied to take part in this non-deadly version of the game seen in the 2021 South Korean survival thriller, boding well for levels of interest in the dystopian “K-drama” ahead of its return to Netflix for a second series on December 26th. It may not be worth spending too much time getting to know Intel’s interim co-chief executives, who were announced on Monday as the chip maker’s chief financial officer, David Zinsner; and its executive vice-president, Michelle Johnston Holthaus. The Intel board is reportedly breaking with tradition and searching outside the company for a permanent replacement for Pat Gelsinger, who was forced to retire last weekend after three years of expensive but unconvincing turnaround efforts.
