The original creator of the show, Alex Pina said, “Korean creators have been developing their own language and audiovisual culture for years, They have managed, like our series, to go beyond cultural borders and become a point of reference for thousands of viewers around the world, especially among young people. That is why I find it fascinating that the world of La Casa De Papel is so attractive to Korean creators as to do an adaptation. The fact that the action is set on the Korean Peninsula also seems to me to be a milestone which I am really delighted about.” Furthermore, Pina will also serve as the executive director of the show.
Netflix commented about the production of this Korean Adaption, stating “The international popularity of the Spanish series La Casa de Papel is proof that significant works based in different cultures and languages can be widely distributed by Netflix and loved by audiences worldwide.”
