The review says the claim is false: director Hwang Dong-hyuk drew inspiration from personal hardship and economic inequality, and the story was his own fictional vision. It also identifies the viral images presented as evidence of the event as AI-generated artwork.[S1]
Additional context
The review describes Brothers’ Home as a South Korean institution that operated from 1975 to 1986, and says its history was not the direct inspiration for the series. [S1]
