The director of "Squid Game" caused controversy because of the gift envelope of 100,000 won: "A bit stingy"

A film producer commented, "It's a shame to go 50,000 won now. 100,000 won has almost become the basic level, so as a director of 'Squid Game', you should go a lot. a little more."

In an earlier interview, Hwang Dong Hyuk - the male director frankly shared about the amount of money Netflix paid him behind "Squid Game". Netflix's co-CEO calls "Squid Game" the most successful film in the company's history, but that doesn't really help the Korean director's bankroll much.

"I've made millions, but it's not Netflix that's paying me bonuses, they're just paying me on the original contract," he said. According to Distractify, Hwang Dong Hyuk has an estimated net worth of $5 million. While the value of "Squid Game" influence on Netflix is close to billions of dollars, because he was tied to the original contract signed with the company.

Recently, the amount of money going to the filial envelope of 100,000 won by the director of "Squid Game" has caused a stir. Accordingly, netizens divided into two factions, one side considered "a bit stingy, you can earn a lot anyway, so you should be more comfortable", the other side said: "it's just for fun anyways. It's just a matter of reciprocity, how much money is that important?"

A film producer commented, "It's a shame to go 50,000 won now. 100,000 won has almost become the basic level, so as a director of 'Squid Game', you should go a lot. a little more."

Another scriptwriter commented, "Even though I know it's not a close relationship, being invited is a bit... but going 100,000 won is a bit too much. However, each person's situation and stance is a bit too much. Everyone is different, so there's really no definite answer to this question."

The side opposing the above ideas also has many participants. An acquaintance who co-produced "Silenced" and "Miss Granny" with director Hwang Dong Hyuk revealed, "As far as I know, the director's childhood situation was very difficult. Living in the vicinity of Kang Bok area, He worked hard to get out of poverty and entered Seoul University.

The character Sang Woo (in 'Squid Game' played by Park Hae Soo) is a reflection of a part of his life story. He did not buy a car or a watch or anything for himself when he received a large amount of money from the work 'Miss Granny'. Maybe he has his own criteria for funeral expenses."

A 30-year-old film producer who asked to remain anonymous also said: "Life has ups and downs, the more you get better and better, the more you have to manage your spending properly to protect the money you earn. I don't have any money to eat as much as I want. The older I get, the more stressed I get because of money problems, but it's not like the more money you go, the better."

"The size of the business is shrinking, meaning less and less money is earned. It is the people in this case who complain, feel pressured about money, when they receive the wedding invitation or hear the news. obituary messages from people who have previously given them large sums of money beyond their means of giving envelopes.After all, based on the love of relationships, giving back is already part of the virtues. then, why not stop putting pressure on each other?"

Before this story, the public wondered how much envelopes celebrities usually wear? It is known that this number falls between 300,000 won and 1 million won depending on the time. When going to Moon Hee Jun's wedding, Kim Gura dropped an envelope of 20 million won.

It is known that some presidents of large corporations also go about 100,000 won to 300,000 won separately. Some people don't even drop the envelope with the argument "Where should I go?".

Hwang Dong Hyuk started writing the script for "Squid Game" in 2009 and kept it on his computer's hard drive for 10 years. "When I gave the script to the producer, they said, 'OK, you have to shoot this because it's suitable for a global audience,'" Hwang recalls.

The producer introduced the script to Netflix and received approval to perform. "They liked the 'Squid Game' scenario." Hwang Dong Hyuk said and confirmed that 'Squid Game' could only be made by Netflix because it was 'too violent to worry other investors'.
