It's seemingly impossible these days to go anywhere near the internet and not see something about Netflix's smash hit showSquid Game, the violent, Korean thriller series in which participants are put through a grueling series of six games which can only result in one winner.
On the show, in order to participate in the games, eligible players who are invited must dial a phone number given to them on a business card and state their name and intention to join the games.
Well, turns out that even in a fictional universe, the phone numbers are still real.
South Korean woman Kim Gil-young, who runs a business in Seongjureportedthat she was being bombarded with prank calls and texts from people asking to join the games after her number was displayed on the show.
Seeing as changing her number would compromise business and contacts, the woman has declined compensation offers between 1 million and 5 million won (around $840 to $4,198.)
"Together with the production company, we are working to resolve this matter, including editing scenes with phone numbers where necessary," Netflix said, according to a report byReuters.
The streaming giant and its production partner, Siren Pictures, are now vowing to edit the scenes where the business card is shown in order to hide the phone number.

"Squid Gamewill definitely be our biggest non-English-language show in the world, for sure," Netflix's co-CEO Ted Sarandos saidMondayat a conference. "It's only been out for nine days, and it's a very good chance it's going to be our biggest show ever."
