MrBeast appears on Korean news for his Squid Game video

MrBeast has gained a lot of popularity for his much awaited Squid Game video. It has now even attracted the attention of the Korean media, and the popular philanthropist has appeared on news channels in the country. In fact, articles have also been written about the same on Korean news sites.

A kind viewer translated what was being said about the popular philanthropist in the news clip that was being circulated. It seems like the Korean media is also impressed with the amount of effort Donaldson has put into recreating the popular show in real life. The video states (translated verbatim):

"A popular American YouTuber planned for it. He made (a) Yeong-hee doll, whose neck is rotating 360 degree and the colorful sets by himself. He did fund-raising activities selling T-shirts to scrape up the production cost(more than 230,000,000 korean won). This video hit more than 25,000,000 views in a day, and is drawing great attention."
