Squid Game is back on Netflix – but not as fans have seen it before. Now, real people can take part in the show and thankfully it comes with out the original’s deadly consequences. Kien Vuu, AKA Dr V, is described as being “well liked” and “well known” in Squid Game: The Challenge. While many people aspire to gain popularity among their fellow reality show contestants, Dr V’s likeability could be his biggest threat.

Ready to take on Squid Game: The Challenge, Dr V is one of 456 contestants appearing on the Netflix show. In Game 1, 259 contestants were eliminated, but luckily Player 330 made it through the Red Light, Green Light round.

Kienn Vuu AKA Dr V is one of the Squid Game: The Challenge contestants in the show’s first-ever season.

Dr V is also known as Player 330.

He works as a physician and is 44 years old. Per Netflix’s Tudum, the reality TV show contestant went to America as an infant as a refugee from Vietnam.

Kienn, who resides in California, is looking to bag himself millions of dollars on the Netflix show.

Dr V is an author

Dr V’s Squid Game co-stars describe him as “intelligent” and he’s keen to share his knowledge as a longevity expert with the rest of the contestants.

As well as being a doctor, Kien is an author, a keynote speaker, and a podcast host.

He released his book, Thrive State: Your Blueprint for Optimal Health, Longevity, and Peak Performance, in 2021.

While Squid Game: The Challenge Player 432 was keen on getting some push-ups in during episode 1, Dr V was providing breathing techniques to his fellow cast mates.

His strategy to win the show was to help as many people as possible. This is also something that translates in Dr Kien’s Instagram page.

The Netflix star writes in his Instagram bio (@drvmd) that he’s all about: “Elevating health, happiness and human potential.”
