'Squid Game': Actors, translator weigh in on subtitle debate
Fox News
Actors and translators weigh in on the debate over the subtitles of Netflix's "Squid Games."
Some viewers fluent in both English and Korean have become frustrated with the English language subtitles, claiming their translations misrepresented what was actually said by the actors speaking Korean.
Among the more vocal critics is Youngmi Mayer, host of the "Feeling Asian" podcast, who said on TikTok that when character Han Mi-nyeo is trying to convince other players to team up with her, the subtitles say, "I’m not a genius, but I still got it worked out." What she actually says is, "I am very smart. I just never got a chance to study."
