Squid Game Reality Show Resulted in ‘Torment and Trauma’

Recall how we all thought it was a poor idea to make Netflix’s Squid Game into a real-world reality show. It turns out we were right since several contestants are suing the reality program produced by Netflix for allegedly having unsafe working conditions, causing trauma, and taking part in a contest that was fixed. The reality television series Squid Game just finished filming last Monday.

Four former Squid Game: The Challenge competitors claim that they were subjected to cruel working conditions by Netflix and its co-production studios, Studio Lambert and The Garden, as first reported by Rolling Stone. Following the success of the wildly popular Korean drama, which received 1.65 billion hours of viewing in its first 28 days on the streamer, Squid Game: The Challenge was first announced in June of last year. For a chance to win $4.56 million, 456 contestants participated in recreations of the show’s well-known games, such as “Red Light, Green Light.”

According to a previous contestant, “All the torture and agony we suffered wasn’t due to the game or the rigor of the game.” “It was scale-related incompetence; they took on more than they could chew.” Ten competitors, including pneumonia, a herniated disc, a ruptured knee tendon, and an ear infection, required medical attention for injuries they sustained while filming the reality show, according to earlier IndieWire reporting.

IndieWire claims that during a nine-hour filming session, contestants were instructed to remain motionless while playing “Red Light, Green Light” at 26° Fahrenheit (-3° Celsius). A Netflix spokesman said that the company “invested in all the necessary safety processes” to maintain the health and safety of its cast and staff. Any accusations of significant injury are unfounded; the Netflix representative told IndieWire, “but it was chilly on set—and participants were prepared for that.”

Squid Game: The Challenge is said to have been manipulated in another complaint. To artificially raise the suspense for on-screen storylines, several reality show players, some of whom were Instagram and TikTok influencers, were written to move to the next round of the competition regardless of whether they completed a game. One former participant remarked to Rolling Stone, “The strange thing is, equality and justice was the fundamental concept of the original Squid Game.”

Several contestants had their blood squib packs go off and were simultaneously eliminated from the reality program in an incident that three former contestants call the “38-second carnage.” The participants claim that the show’s producers dismissed them even after they finished a game successfully and with plenty of time left while analyzing the drone-shot footage from the round.

“They are referring to it as “Rigged Game” instead of “Squid Game.” Another ex-player told Rolling Stone they’re calling it Net Fix instead of Netflix since it was so blatant. Kotaku contacted Netflix for comment, but no response has been received since this article was published. Series director Hwang Dong-hyuk came out in favor of the program during a backstage interview at the 2022 Emmys, despite the show’s fundamental message that needy people suffering in a capitalist system for the enjoyment of the more wealthy are wrong. This left fans scratching their heads.

“I believe that even though our program does have an important message, I am aware that doing so while incorporating a cash award raises some questions. But I think it’s not the best for the entertainment business when you take things too seriously,” Dong-hyuk added. Following the Netflix show’s debut, several imitators emerged, including a video game and YouTuber MrBeast‘s live version of the show’s death games (without the gory deaths), in which 456 individuals battle for a prize of $456,000. Netflix has announced a second season of Squid Game, but there is no timetable for its release.
