In a recent online interview, Squid Game director Hwang Dong-hyuk addressed various topics relating to his latest hit project, one of them being whether the bank account used in the ATM scene in the last episode was used with permission.

Dong-hyuk said the account actually belongs to one of the producers of the show, and that people were making deposits of 456 won ($0.50) into the account.

However, it has been closed “to avoid potential issues in the future”.

Heo Sung-tae, who played the villain in the show, only began his career in showbiz at the age of 34.

Before becoming an actor, he studied Russian language and culture at Pusan National University, and worked for the overseas business marketing team in LG Electronics.

He then joined one of South Korea’s biggest shipbuilding companies Daewoo Shipping & Marine Co., where he reportedly earned an annual income of 70 million won.

However, after emerging fifth on the Korean talent show Be The Star in 2011, he gave up his career for acting.

Not surprisingly, actor Wi Ha-jun has sent people swooning over his good looks. He played Hwang Joon-ho, a police officer who disguised himself as one of the staff members running the games.

Just when fans couldn’t get enough of the handsome 30-year-old, he surprised them when he appeared shirtless in the October issue of Men’s Health, showing off his chiseled abs.

The photos were posted to Instagram on Sept 25 and have since gained over 2.1 million likes and 400 comments.
