The victim complained of pain after his personal cell phone number was exposed in the Netflix drama 'Squid Game'.
Victim A, in an interview with Money Today on the 23rd, said, "Since the broadcast of the Squid Game, texts and calls come in 24 hours a day so that everyday life is difficult. There are more than 4,000 phone numbers. Day and night without a concept of time, the phone battery is drained in half a day as a result of a curious call.”
In the first episode of 'Squid Game', there is a scene where Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae) makes a phone call with a business card he received from an unidentified man (Gong Yoo).
In this drama, you have to call the number on your business card to participate in the game.
The business card has a total of 8 digits excluding '010'.
This number was the cell phone number that A had used for 10 years.
'Squid Game' is a drama depicting the story of those who participated in a mysterious survival game with a prize of 45.6 billion won, risking their lives to become the ultimate winner.
Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Oh Young-soo, Wi Ha-joon, Jeong Ho-yeon and others appeared.
It seems that there are many people who call the number in the drama out of curiosity as the viewers' interest is hot.
Exposing an individual's cell phone number is an obvious mistake of the production team.
Before using the number, I should have checked whether it was an actual number, but I was careless.
A Netflix official said, "We are working to resolve the issue amicably with the number owner."
