The one ‘Squid Game’ Korean Easter egg that’s leaving fans devastated.
of one specific interaction that English speakers may have missed in the dubbed or subtitled version of the dystopian drama.
Ali starts off speaking at the most formal, polite level to Sang-woo, said Jennifer Jung-Kim, a lecturer at the University of California, Los Angeles, who specializes in Korean history, gender, popular culture and food. At this speech level, “-mnida” or “-sumnida” are added to verb endings, she told NBC Asian America.
Even though Ali has never played marbles before, he appears poised to win — which would mean he survives and Sang-woo is killed. Sang-woo tells Ali he’s hatched a plan so they can both come out of the game alive. Ali, unaware that Sang-woo is actually planning to double-cross him, trusts him. This is shown by the way he addresses Sang-woo, using the informal “-a” or “-eo” verb conjugations.
As an undocumented guest worker, Ali was likely frequently at risk of being exploited by Korean employers, a reality for many of his similar migrant background, Lee said. An earlier episode showed that Ali’s boss at the factory where he had worked withheld several months' worth of wages from him. Sang-woo, on the other hand, consistently uses the casual speech style to speak to Ali throughout the series, including during the marble game. Even when Sang-woo is on his knees, convincing Ali to trust his plan for their supposed mutual survival, he maintains that style. Lee explained that having graduated from the best university in Korea, Seoul National University, and having worked at prestigious firms would place Sang-woo high in the social hierarchy.
