Netflix's New Korean Drama "Squid Game" is embroiled in complaints that the phone number in the drama is real

Netflix's original Korean drama "Squid Game" was broadcast online on September 17 and received rave reviews from the audience. It once topped the list of "Korea's TOP10 Images" and was also highly praised in 14 countries including the United States. However, it was recently involved in a new dispute. The phone number in the drama turned out to be real, causing the owner to be harassed. Netflix responded today on September 23 that it will do its best to resolve the problem.

Although the plot of "Squid Game" is old-fashioned, this kind of survival theme will always attract audiences in a different shell. The story tells that a group of frustrated people suddenly received a mysterious invitation to participate in a suspicious simulation survival game, and the winner can get a reward of 45.6 billion won. The location of this survival game is unknown, and the participants will be locked in the game location until the winner is produced.

The problem appeared in the first episode of "Squid Game". The protagonist received a business card with a phone number clearly displayed to many viewers. What was confusing was that the phone number actually existed, which triggered a large number of curious netizens to try to call it. This low-level mistake caused the owner to be harassed and his daily life was disrupted.

Netflix responded today, 23rd , acknowledging the mistake and saying it would do its best to resolve the issue.
