Director Hwang Dong Hyuk, who directs and writes “Squid Game”, will also get paid in the form of incentives. The Korean production crew of “Squid Game” has been discussing with Netflix for a long time about the compensation for the staff and actors, such as production costs, fees, and incentives related to Season 2.

Even though “Squid Game” became a huge success and generated huge profits, there were no additional incentives under Netflix’s by-laws. However, with the production of Season 2, discussions between the two sides began, and Netflix accepted the opinions of the Korean production team as much as possible.
