Squid Game's mammoth surge in viewers in South Korea has led to internet service provider SK Broadband to reportedly sue Netflix.

The unusual series has skyrocketed in popularity since it was released on the streaming platform last month. It delves into a group of people who are given the opportunity to win money by competing in a range of bizarre children's games.

But there's a catch to the seemingly lighthearted premise - if the contestants lose, they die.The chilling drama, which seems to be rather similar to the concept of Hollywood movies The Hunger Games, is already on its way to becoming one of Netflix's most popular commissions of all time.
