The analysis of Netflix's revenue from SQUID GAME 2 was first released by K EnterTech Hub, a research body in South Korea. The report estimates that Netflix could rake in up to 1.5 trillion won, equivalent to Rp16 trillion, from the second season of the series.
This calculation is based on the success of the first season of SQUID GAME, which had a production cost of 25 billion won and generated revenue 40 times its initial investment. Using a similar formula, the production of the second season, which costs up to 100 billion won, is projected to yield even greater profits.

In response to the report, Netflix firmly denied the revenue estimates published by K EnterTech Hub. In its official statement, Netflix emphasized that the analysis does not reflect the actual facts.
Netflix also explained that as a subscription-based platform, the company does not earn additional revenue from the number of views or the duration of time spent watching content on their platform. This business model makes revenue predictions for specific series irrelevant.
