The popular Netflix series “Squid Game” uses a participating phone number as the main axis to cut into the plot. However, it was unexpected that this group of numbers actually existed in reality. After the show was broadcast, the holder of the number was unbearable. More than 4,000 calls are received every day, and South Korean politicians have declared that they want to buy the number for $100 million.
Today, Netflix and the production company Siren Pictures announced that they will re-edit the relevant screens in the drama and no longer let the number appear on the business card. Of course, this is undoubtedly a remedy. Earlier, Seoul Broadcasting Corporation SBS reported that Netflix was willing to pay ₩5 million. Compensation, but it has not yet been officially confirmed. In addition, Reuters also pointed out that Netflix and Siren Pictures deliberately only allowed the last 8 digits of the number to appear on the business card. It was unexpected that the local dialing mechanism in South Korea would automatically fill in the complete number, which eventually caused the accident.
