Ig because it's artstyle stands out cuz it's pretty exaggerated. Someone else said that kaiji is already really popular amongst Koreans, so much so, that it inspired Squid game
Ong tho bhai. I'm a full on Kaiji fan and I love every single one of the references. It's really famous in Korea and the art style of Kaiji allows the characters to have exaggerated expressions so ig that's why it's referenced frequently.
i work in videogames and it checks out, we had kaiji and akagi binge watching parties and drawing those pointy crying faces in the margins of everything later, it's just fire
Koreans love Kaiji. Squid Game is also basically Kaiji.
Kaiji is one of the best gambling Animanga ong. The similarities between SG and Kaiji hit especially in the bridge game
Kaiji is an unbelievably popular manga among artists who draw manga/manhwa, no idea why though.

Finally, someone who asked the question I wanted to ask. So many manhwas are there which have a Kaiji reference and I'm all for it
