Squid Game Season 1 lasted the entire game, with Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) taking home the 456 billion won prize. When Gi-hun runs across the Salesman (Gong Yoo) recruiting another player a year later, he realizes that the game is going to start all over again. Gi-hun resolves to stay in Korea just before leaving for America in the hopes of putting an end to the Game once and for all.
Fans are hopeful that Gi-story hun’s will continue after the victory, with the victor joining forces with others to shut down the hidden, global death Game. Everything is up in the air except Gi-likely hun’s comeback. He may try to persuade the police to help him after they turned him away in Squid Game Episode 2, or he could track down more prior players who may or may not have recovered enough from their trauma to take on the affluent VIPs and game masters.
