That’s the question after Seong Gi-hun, a.k.a Player 456, beats the first season of Squid Game on Netflix and then rejoins the deadly game to put an end once and for all to this ruthless game where Koreans bet their lives.
Asked at one point in the official trailer that dropped on Tuesday why he’s back in the arena, Player 456, played by Lee Jung-jae, declares “I’m trying to put an end to this game.”
Whether other players nullify it and bring an end to the survival game where contenders have to kill each other to win big cash will surely be a focus in the forthcoming second season set for December 26.
The official synopsis for the second season from Netflix reads: “Squid Game after three years, Player 456 stop going to the States and return home with a new determination on his mind.
Gi-hun again enters the enigmatic survival game and begins yet another life or death match with new players who have gathered to try and win the money of 45.6 billion won.”
The second season will also see the relationships between the characters developed with Player 456 in a face off with the Front Man portrayed by Lee Byung-hun.
Squid Game is also bringing back Wi Ha-jun and Gong Yoo for another season; other relationships are Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David CHOI Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri, and Won Ji-an.
The most-watched title of Netflix originated from the creator Hwang Dong-hyuck, which has already confirmed together with Netflix that there will be the third final season in 2025.
We have the old man who is suffering from a terminal brain cancer, or Sae-byeok, the North Korean defector who only wants to reunite his family in the South side of the country. Just as we see the show, all the participants invited to the Squid Game are those who are actually on the fringes of society, or rather, those who actually can only be on the periphery of society because they are in debt and cannot pay their debts.
As we continue to watch and play Squid Game and learn those but the winner must die for this amount of money, it feels all too much like capitalism on screen.
As this game can be terminated by a simple majority to stop it, it is first adjourned once nevertheless, all these people, although they understand that others must die for the money, return to continue the game.
