Seoul | A less-than-perfect debut for the new season of Netflix’s blockbuster series Squid Game sent shares of related South Korean companies sharply lower on Friday.
Artist United, a movie distributor and marketing firm in which Squid Game’s main actor Lee Jung-jae is the largest shareholder, tanked by the daily limit of 30 per cent. Wysiwyg Studios, another Artist United investor, plunged as much as 25 per cent, while Dexter Studios, a Korean partner of Netflix, sank 24 per cent.
