Whelan, a Vietnamese refugee to the United States, plans to use her winnings for a small home renovation, including building a small dock for a boat. She’ll also use her money on charitable causes. “My heart is with people, animals and climate change. If we continue what we’re doing, there won’t be a future for all the little kids growing up right now.”
Squid Game: The Challenge is fashioned after the 2021 hit Korean Netflix series of the same name, with a major difference, of course – the contestants in the reality competition do not face death if they do not win the challenges.
However, the filming of the reality competition was not without controversy as two contestants are currently seeking damages for injuries they claim to have “suffered during the show’s filming in January of this year”.
Netflix announced ahead of the Season 1 finale that there will be a second season of Squid Game: The Challenge. Casting is now open at SquidGameCasting.com.
