Netflix reportedly to edit "Squid Game" scenes showing phone number after woman inundated with prank calls
CBSN
A South Korean woman's phone has rung off the hook since her number appeared in the hit Netflix series "Squid Game," but she may catch a break soon as the streaming giant and its South Korean production partner have reportedly agreed to edit her digits out of the series.
The Reuters news agency on Wednesday quoted Netflix as saying in a statement that, along with the Siren Pictures production house, it was "working to resolve this matter, including editing scenes with phone numbers where necessary." Netflix also urged fans of the show to stop pranking the woman.
In the hugely popular show, the last eight digits of the real-world woman's phone number can be seen on an invitation card given to potential players in the "Squid Game," which involves cash-strapped contestants competing in a series of simple challenges, based on children's games, for a huge cash prize. The price of failure in all the challenges, or for any perceived violation of the rules, is death.
