Rich Influencer Wants to Fund a Real Squid Game

The Korean Netflix series Squid Game has taken the world by storm. It’s now the number one Netflix show. Squid Game is not your typical Korean drama series that usually focuses on love and relationships. This show has a much darker theme. It’s about a deadly tournament where desperate cash-strapped individuals compete. At stake is 45 billion won, which is roughly equivalent to $38 million US dollars, or whatever the amount is in Dogecoin. What if there is a real Squid Game, would you be willing to join? Someone is actually planning to recreate the hit series in real life. It would be interesting to see if his plans will come to fruition.

Real Life Squid Game

The man who is planning to create the real Squid Game is popular YouTuber MrBeast. Earlier this month, he posted in TikTok saying that he would make a real-life Squid Game if that particular post would reach 10 million likes. The post actually received 15 million likes and counting so it seems like we’re really getting a true-to-life version of the Korean show. Yes, 15 million people really want to see Squid Game come to life. But who is this man who came up with this crazy idea? MrBeast may be a popular YouTube star but many still don’t know who he is. So read on to know more about MrBeast and insane plan.

Who is MrBeast?

MrBeast is actually Jimmy Donaldson in real life. As mentioned earlier he is a popular Youtuber. But just how popular is he? He has more than 71 million YouTube subscribers. He is considered as one of the most-followed content creators in the popular video-sharing platform. MrBeast started posting videos in 2012. So what kind of videos does he post on YouTube? He is known for performing extreme stunts and he also likes to do challenges and giveaways. But if he will be successful in staging a real-life Squid Game then it would be his biggest stunt yet. For sure his subscribers will increase if he’ll be able to pull it off.

Since hitting the target of 10 million likes, MrBeast has yet to post an update about his plans. So it’s really not clear right now if he is serious about it or not. But if he pushes through with the plan, it seems that he won’t have a hard time recruiting participants. As early as now, a number of online personalities have already expressed their interest to join the tournament. Some of these online personalities with verified accounts include Marcus Olin, Spencer X, and Devante Wilson. These individuals even left comments on the original TikTok video. For sure, many other people would be interested to join.

If ever there will be a real-life Squid Game, just how close will it be to the show? How big will the prize money be? How will the losers be treated? It probably won’t be a deadly tournament, right? What are the games that are going to be played? These are the questions that many people are asking.
