All of you must be aware of the famous South Korean Netflix game series, Squid Game.
00:06
And now there is a reality show based on this game series.
00:10
The players in this game are in financial debt and put their lives at risk to win the highest prize of a reality game show.
00:19
The first season of this game came to an end with the win of 55-year-old Vietnam-born May Vellon.
00:27
She won a cash prize of US$4.56 million, which is equal to Rs.38,442,000.
00:38
But now there is a twist to this trip. May Vellon still hasn't received this winning cash prize.
00:45
Vellon marked her win by overcoming 455 other participants in the game.
00:51
But now the immigration adjudicator Vellon has expressed her disappointment about not receiving the money yet.
00:59
She explained her situation saying, "I feel like a Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire. Show me the money."
01:05
It was determined that transaction would take place right after the streaming of its first season finale.
01:12
But nothing has happened yet.
01:14
In this situation, the organizers have come up with the announcement of Squid Game Season 2.
01:20
But still, the focus is on delayed payment of May Vellon, which may create problem with its second season.
01:28
While the payment is still not in the account of May Vellon, there is a large amount from her cash prize,
01:35
which may get cut as an important part of US taxation, because Vellon is an American citizen.
01:42
So the cost may reduce to US$2.8 million.
01:46
On the other hand, Vellon has made big plans for her cash prize.
01:50
She has decided to put her money into charity.
01:53
She said that, "I have charitable causes. I want to contribute more to including sponsoring kids receiving education
02:01
and helping the elderly with their basic needs and healthcare and also the wildlife and the climate."
02:08
But delaying the payment is the most crucial part of this Netflix series, which affects the season ahead.
