Around 2008, Hwang Dong-hyuk had tried unsuccessfully to get investment for a different movie script that he had written, and he, his mother, and his grandmother had to take out loans to stay afloat, but still struggled amid the debt crisis within the country. [31] [32] [f] He spent his free time in a Manhwabang (South Korean manga cafe) reading Japanese survival manga such as Battle Royale, Liar Gameand Gambling Apocalypse: Kaiji. [34] [35] [36] [37] Hwang compared the characters' situation in these works to his own current situation and considered the idea of being able to join such a survival game to win money to get him out of debt, leading him to write a film script on that concept throughout 2009. [37] Hwang stated, "I wanted to write a story that was an allegory or fable about modern capitalist society, something that depicts an extreme competition, somewhat like the extreme competition of life. But I wanted it to use the kind of characters we've all met in real life." [38] Hwang feared the storyline was "too difficult to understand and bizarre" at the time. [34] Hwang tried to sell his story to various Korean production groups and actors, but had been told it was too grotesque and unrealistic. [39] Hwang put this script aside without any takers, and over the next ten years successfully completed three other films, including the crime drama film Silenced (2011) and the historical drama film The Fortress (2017).

Two classical music pieces are also used throughout the show as part of the players' routine: the third movement of Joseph Haydn's " Trumpet Concerto" is used to wake the players, and Johann Strauss II's " The Blue Danube" is used to indicate the start of a new game. [88] Ludwig van Beethoven's " Fifth Symphony" is also heard in the VIP lounge. [88] A cover of " Fly Me to the Moon", [h] arranged by Jung and sung by Korean artist Joo Won Shin, was used over the "Red Light, Green Light" game of the first episode; according to Joo, Hwang wanted a contrast between the brutal killing of the players and the "romantic and beautiful lyrics and melody" of the song, such that the scene "embodies the increasingly polarized capitalist society that we live in today in a very compressed and cynical way".
