Squid Game's director Hwang Donghyuk said "While filming this work, I've heard people say that it reminded them of 'As The Gods Will'. I feel like it's only because of the first game, but there's no connection to them, There are no similarities. I planned this in 2008 and started scripting in 2009, with the first game being the 'green light or red light game'. The similarity is pure coincidence and nobody copied nobody. If you want to insist on priority to the first come, then I scripted this story first."

1. Just say that you wrote Harry Potter in 1993 in your mother's womb and wrote the first sentence of the book in Korean in a rolling paper gameㅠ
2. Shielding this work just because it comes from our country is totally embarrassing and you guys should all stop... The moment As The Gods Will came out, it popularized the 'death game' genre and influenced it so much that so f*ckng many rip-offs have been made... Squid Game uses children game + death game concepts and is trying to introduce it as if it's some kind of novel combination, but it's a blatant cliche at this point...
3. What's up with that director's explanation...?
4. OMG.... Look at that explanation....
5. Even the crossing bridge game was taken exactly the same way Kaiji made it, this isn't just some inspiration, it's straight up copying
6. The reactions would've been f*cking crazy if it was the other way around
7. Plagiarism is plagiarism, trying to name it anything else is just obaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. Looks like the director has been a fan of the death game genre and has seen works here and there and just took bits of everything and put it together. It's just too obvious and the way he wrote this drama was rather simplistic
9. This surpasses Hotel Del Luna's plagiarism
10. Priority over first come?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
11. At this rate, saying this isn't plagiarism makes you look dumb
12. Embarrassment for the entire country
13. Freaking funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ then how many people can claim that they thought of Harry Potter first going by his logic?
14. But the director himself said that he gained his motive through Kaiij + Liar Game + Battle Royaleㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just because he didn't want to mention As The Gods Will doesn't mean we need to believe him ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
15. Even the way he's using a toy to lead the 'Green light red light' game + the way the camera and the toy moves + merciless sudden death + using the time limit to survive is just too much overlaps...
