The 5 Craziest Fan Theories About Squid Game Season 2

The second season of “The Squid Game” premiered less than a month ago, and tons of theories have already gathered around it. Of course, after the success of the first season (total viewing time reached 2.8 billion hours), the continuation of the sensational film could only be missed by a person without internet access. They say the third season will air this summer, so the editor is looking forward to that, but in the meantime he’s diving into fan theories about the plot that seem pretty plausible.

The envelope color chosen determines the character’s role in the game

Remember that same “Ttakji” game where the employer asks the characters to play in the subway? Just in case, let me remind you that if the hero wins, he gets 100 thousand won, and if he loses, he slaps the guy in the face. After the game was over, the recruiter shared a business card and invited them to play a higher-stakes game. So fans began to assume that the character’s future fate was determined by the color of the envelope he chose: red (circle, triangle or square) for the Squid Game staff, blue for the player.

Song Ki Hoon will be the new MC

Yes, such an outcome of events is also possible, despite all the kindness of the hero and his desire to overcome evil. Fans found confirmation of this theory. First of all, Song Ki Hoon wasn’t killed off at the end of the second season, and it seems like there was a reason for that. Secondly, actor Lee Jung Jae himself increased interest in such a plot. On The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, two buttons were placed in front of the star, identical to those used for voting on the show: a circle was drawn on the blue button, and a cross was drawn on the red button. When Jimmy Fallon asked Lee Jong Jae if he would host Season 3 of “The Squid Game,” he pushed two buttons at once. Interesting though.

Player number 100 VIP

This assumption arose due to the behavior of the hero in the second season. The number 100 player was always calm and confident, reminding viewers more of an observer than the victim of a deadly game. At key moments, he used the prize money as leverage to encourage other participants to continue. At a time when everyone was in doubt, the actor said: “It is normal to make sacrifices for money.” Now let’s pay attention to his number – 100. If you reverse the numbers, you get 001, reminiscent of the creator of the game Oh Il Nam, who played under this number. Symbolic, right? What adds fuel to the fire, by the way, is that the alleged VIP’s debt is the largest among all participants: 10 billion won.

Host Hwang In Ho is the son of the game’s creator.

Fans claim that the host, namely Hwang In Ho and the police officer’s brother, is the son of the game’s creator, Oh Il Nam. Many details show this. It was first revealed in the first season that Song Ki Hoon suffered from lactose intolerance and therefore refused cow’s milk. Then actor 001 approached him and realized that the main character reminded him of his son: “I bet you often realize this. My son is also very similar to you.” Secondly, in the second season, Hwang In Ho refused milk. Maybe you have a question: How can this be if we already know that the host is the brother of a police officer? It’s simple: Hwang In Ho was adopted. This is the character’s introduction in the second season explains the motivation and decision to participate.

Captain Puck is a traitor

This is the theory the gossip column editor most believes in. Throughout the entire second season, Captain Park helps police officer Hwang Joon Ho (who is also the host’s brother) and his team find the island where the Squid Game is held. But eagle-eyed fans think Puck is actually one of the big bosses and is responsible for the real money in the games. He’s probably the one who carries the organs of retired players to the black market. It is said that the captain was hired by Hwang In Ho to rescue Joon Ho and keep an eye on him. Park kills one of Joon Ho’s subordinates to keep his betrayal a secret. Frankly, most editors are waiting for the third season to see the outcome of this story.
