Squid Game’s Season 2 finale ended with a brutal and shocking cliffhanger, leaving fans eager to know what’s next. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk explained that Gi-hun’s (Lee Jung-jae) character is filled with loss, defeat, and guilt after his rebellion against the games fails. The Front Man, the villainous leader of the game, played a masterful role in manipulating Gi-hun to achieve his own goals.
According to Hwang, the second season’s theme revolves around a showdown between Front Man and Gi-hun, with Front Man aiming to crush Gi-hun’s spirit and purpose. Lee Jung-jae added that Gi-hun is a “totally different man” from his previous self, driven by vengeance and a desire for change.
The finale’s violent ending also reflects the show’s commentary on capitalist society, where there’s no room for losers and only winners take all. Hwang stated that the story mirrors current social unrest, with echoes of protests in South Korea.
Season 3 is set to premiere in 2025, and fans can expect the return of the VIPs, who were absent from Season 2. Director Hwang confirmed that the wealthy spectators will make an appearance in the upcoming season, adding to the already suspenseful narrative.
The fate of Gi-hun and the future of the Squid Game remain uncertain, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating the next installment of this thrilling series.
