As often happens, the origin of this fever is television.

The two productions have many things in common, starting with the popularity they reached with millions of views through the Netflix platform and ending with the costumes of their characters. In Spanish fiction, the members of the ‘El Professor’ gang wear red jumpsuits and Dalí masks, while in Korean fiction, the game guards also wear red jumpsuits and black masks with three different symbols: a circle, a square or a triangle.
