About this converter
Squid Game states its won amounts on screen and in reports, which makes every figure easy to compare. A ddakji win pays 100,000 won, each elimination adds 100,000,000, and the Season 1 grand prize totals 45,600,000,000. That means one grand prize equals 456,000 ddakji wins or 456 eliminations. Every figure on this page is a stated Season 1 or Season 2 amount from TIME, Forbes, Taipei Times, Capital FM and Business Insider reports. Gi-hun owes 160,000,000 to loan sharks plus 255,000,000 to banks. Won here is the in show currency, not a foreign exchange quote.
