Everyone loved the beautiful player 067 and who wouldn’t hope that player 456 would walk away with the prize money? Yet there is one other very popular character from Squid Game on Netflix: player 101. The role of the sneaky Jang Deok-Su is played by Heo Sung-tae, an actor who is now online thanking viewers for making him a “millionaire”.
Player 101 (Heo Sung-tae) from Netflix series ‘Squid Game’ thanks followers for “making him a millionaire”
Of course, actors are paid well, but for a brand new series, you can’t immediately expect a South Korean actor to catch millions for his performance. So what does Heo Sung-tae mean in his post where he poses with a bunch of flowers and writes: “Thanks for making me a millionaire ♡”?
A few weeks ago, Heo Sung-tae still had a relatively small number of followers. With his cat photos he sometimes got a few thousand likes, but that was all. However, due to the worldwide popularity of Squid Game, his number of followers has risen to over 1.8 million. So now he has become a “millionaire” because of the series.
His followers can appreciate the funny caption. With just this one post, he has already managed to rack up over 1.2 million likes. That is definitely well played!
Player 067 also became a millionaire: from 400,000 to 19 million followers
The beloved South Korean actress HoYeon Jung plays the role of Player 067 in Squid Game. She has managed to make it even more bonkers in increase in followers than Heo Sung-tae. The Korean woman is a model and actress by profession. She was already extremely successful, but her role in Squid Game has given her career an extra boost. In just a few weeks, her Instagram account has grown from 400,000 followers to over 19 million (!) followers!
