Gi-Hun's Sacrifice and the Future of Squid Game

The final season of Squid Game has left fans with a lot to think about.

Gi-Hun's Sacrifice and the Baby's Victory

• Gi-Hun, the main character, doesn't survive the games.
• He gives up his life so that a baby can live.
• This baby, whose parents died in the games, grows up to win the games.
• The ending shows how harsh life can be, but it also gives a sense of hope.

Creator's Vision and Struggles

• The creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, worked on this show for six years.
• Making the final season was very stressful—he even lost some teeth because of the pressure.
• Hwang wanted to tell the story his way, without worrying too much about others' opinions.

Themes of Voting and Division

• One of the big themes is how people vote in the games.
• Players vote to continue, even when things get really bad.
• This reflects real-world divisions, where people struggle to understand each other.

The Role of the VIPs

• The VIPs (rich and powerful people) play a bigger role in the final season.
• Hwang notes that in real life, these people are no longer hidden.
• They show off their power and control, similar to anti-oligarchy movements worldwide.

Intense Filming and Standout Moments

• One of the games, Jump Rope, was very hard to film.
• It took a lot of time and effort to make it look realistic.
• Hwang is proud of how it turned out.

The Ending and Possible Continuations

• The ending leaves some unanswered questions.
• There is a cameo by Cate Blanchett, which could mean the games continue in another country.
• However, Hwang says the story is complete and doesn't need a continuation.
• He might be interested in a spinoff exploring events between the first and second seasons.
