References to Korean political parties (e.g., the fictional “JSS Group” controlling the military) are rendered in Hindi as generic “ satta ke khel ” (games of power) or “ raajneeti ” (politics). A scene where Je-ha eats ramyeon (instant noodles) is left unchanged, as ramyeon is visually distinct and has become known in India. However, a line where a character mentions “ makgeolli ” (Korean rice wine) is dubbed as “ daaru ” (alcohol) — a functional but culturally flattening substitution.
