#but netflix doesn't do great in translating jokes or other such language barrier issues

So, I need help understanding a joke. In episode 7 of My Demon on Netflix, the character jokes about the name Jeong Sip-won, and after Jeong Gu-won gets really offended, Do Do-hee repeats 십원 multiple times to tease him. I am learning Korean and do understand a certain amount, enough to know that Netflix can miss the ball on a lot of their subtitles, but not enough to understand certain jokes or slang quite yet. Is there anyone who can help explain? 'Cause web searches just tell me the direct translation which, not only do I already know, but also it doesn't help make the joke make sense. Sorry if it's something simple or obvious, I'm just confused, so I thought I'd ask.
