Gi-Hun's Final Choice: A Hero's Sacrifice in Squid Game

Gi-Hun's Sacrifice

The last episode of Squid Game's final season is packed with intense moments, but the biggest shock comes early when the main character, Gi-Hun, meets his end.

After two rounds of the deadly Sky Squid Game, only three players remain:

• Gi-Hun
• Myung-gi
• A baby (Jun-hee's daughter, left in Gi-Hun's care)

Gi-Hun's Goal: Protect the child. Myung-gi's Goal: Win at any cost.

The Confrontation

Myung-gi threatens Gi-Hun, demanding the baby so he can leave Gi-Hun to die. Gi-Hun reluctantly hands over the child, but at the last moment, he jumps to fight Myung-gi.

• A brutal knife fight ensues.
• Both fall off the pillar.
• Gi-Hun barely hangs on, holding Myung-gi until he falls to his death.

The Final Choice

The game isn't over yet. Gi-Hun realizes neither he nor Myung-gi pressed the button to start the final round. This means:

• Myung-gi's death doesn't count.
• Gi-Hun must now choose between killing himself or the baby to end the game.

After a long pause, Gi-Hun makes his choice. He puts down the baby and falls backward to his death, his final words hinting at the value of human life.

The Aftermath

• Gi-Hun's sacrifice saves the baby, who is declared the winner.
• In-ho, the Front Man, is moved by Gi-Hun's selflessness and takes the baby to safety.
• The authorities are closing in, and the Squid Game facility is hastily packed up.
• Jun-ho, In-ho's brother, discovers In-ho's involvement and confronts him, but In-ho leaves with the baby.

Six Months Later

• No-eul is back at her old job, reuniting with Gyung-seok and his recovered daughter.
• No-eul learns her own daughter might be alive and heads to the airport.
• Kang Cheol is reunited with his mother.
• Woo-seok is bailed out by Jun-ho.
• They wonder about the missing prize money from Gi-Hun's first win.

The Final Scene

• Jun-ho finds the baby left at his doorstep, along with a bank card loaded with 45.6 billion won.
• In-ho travels to Los Angeles to deliver Gi-Hun's belongings to his daughter, Seong Ga-yeong.
• She accepts the package, which contains Gi-Hun's uniform and a bank card with his winnings.
• In-ho leaves, spotting two people playing a twisted game of ddakji, hinting that the Squid Game's influence might not be over.
