Ha Seok Jin shockingly revealed that he had not actually made plans regarding the prize money because he hadn’t expected to win. Initially, he just joined to discover his intelligence level.

At first, it was a personal mission to see how smart I am. I wanted to show that someone in his 40s can also play mind games with others … I didn’t think I would be the top player as I was filming. I felt a lot of shortcomings in my strategies so I merely tried my best to play the part as a contestant. I was unfamiliar with competitive, survival game shows, so I needed time to adapt.

So, at the time of the interview, Ha Seok Jin’s prize money was simply sitting in a bank. He thinks planning how to use the money properly continues with The Devil’s Plan. 

(The money) is sitting in the bank. I didn’t plan how I’d use it. It’s more of a prize of achievement … I think coming up with the plans for how to use the prize is also part of ‘The Devil’s Plan.’
