The Newsroom

Available for over a year

Squid Game is a South Korean drama series which pits desperate, debt-laden contestants against each other in a brutal survival game. It is the most watched Netflix series in over 90 countries. However, it has transpired that a supposedly fictional mobile number featured in the show actually belonged to a South Korean woman and that she has been deluged with prank calls. Netflix has now said it will edit out the phone number. Âé¶¹Éç reporter Will Leonardo explains the impact of this and the action that Netflix has taken.
