AB - “Squid Game” received worldwide attention. Various interpretations exist as to the cause and content of this immense popularity. In this context, it also makes sense to keep the theological, especially the interpretation of Christian ethics. It is meaningful to examine the reason for the international attention from the perspective of fairness, and to identify the norm of fairness in Korean society. In this sense, the content of the “Squid Game” is described, and it becomes clear that meritocracy can not replace fairness from a philosophical perspective. In the theological sense, the norm of solidarity is emphasized by the arrangement of the concept of justification and labor. In a philosophical and theological dimension, more value is placed on solidarity than meritocracy. Labor of the biblical statement empowers solidarity. According to justification, the righteousness of humans is not achieved by his merit. Therefore, people should have a deep interest in solidarity. It has ethical significance when the ability that God has given to humans contributes to the common good and when it makes the lives of the socially disadvantaged more lively.
