After a woman complained she was harassed by hoax calls, Netflix reportedly confirmed intentions to modify scenes from its rave series ‘Squid Game.’
Since the series debuted on the streaming service, the businesswoman from Seongju, South Korea, has gotten thousands of calls and texts from fans inquiring about the horror competition, she told reporters.
“This is a number that I’ve been using for more than ten years, so I’m quite taken aback. There are more than 4,000 numbers that I’ve had to delete from my phone,” Kim Gil-young shared. “At first I didn’t know why, but my friend told me that my number came out in ‘Squid Game’ and that’s when I realized.”
Gil-young reportedly rejected down compensation offers of up to five million won (£3 million).

The phone number that appears on a cryptic invitation card provided to potential contestants in the series will be modified, Netflix and local production company Siren Pictures revealed on Wednesday.
“We’re working to remedy this issue with the production company, including editing scenes with phone numbers where necessary,” Netflix said in a statement.
The Netflix series ‘Squid Game’ is expected to set a big record as the most watched series on the platform. The scary hyper-violent series premiered on the site last month to worldwide fame.
