Surviving candidates from Squid Game 2

Player 333

Myung-Gi (Yim Si-Wan) makes some enemies in Squid Game Season 2. Image source: Netflix

Myung-Gi is embodied by actor Yim Si-Wan. The 30-year-old candidate dealt with cryptocurrency on his YouTube channel MG Coin. During the games, he gets together with other participants who have incorrectly created their capital in the past due to his videos.

He stays with the others (including his former friend and mother of his child jun-hee)secureMain room back, while Gi-Hun and a few others face the guards.

Player 222

One of the most interesting candidates is probably Jun-Hee (Jo Yu-Ri), because with their pregnancy the games enter a new moral dimension. Image source: Netflix

Jun-Hee (Jo Yu-Ri) is pregnant and still takes part in the games. There she also meets her former friend and father of the unborn child Myung-Gi.

Main character Gi-Hun and his friends try to protect the expectant mother in the course of the deadly competition. In season 3 it could still be exciting: Jun-Hee might get your baby in the games?

There were already some evidence of this, because Jun-Hee often has pain and player 149 (Jang Geum-Ja) says thatit would be ready soon.If it really happens, we are once more in front of a moral dilemma.

Player 124

In front of the best friend of Thanos (Nam-Gyu), the other players in Squid Game 3 should be careful. Image source: Netflix

Nam-Gyu (Roh Jae-Won) is a rather brutal comrade and at the end of season 2 has the life of SE-MI (player 380) on its conscience.

One thing is certain: after the death of his friend Thanos (player 230) Nam-Gyu has not much to lose and will surely do everything possible to win the competition anyway. He also gets to Thano's drug supply and thus becomes more dangerous than ever.

Player 125

Min-SU is very reserved and survives the final by mainly hiding. Image source: Netflix

The shy Park Min-Su (Lee David) had to watch in the final of Squid Game 2 how numerous candidates were slaughtered. Preventing his attempt by Nam-Gyu failed.

In season 3, Min-Su could finally show courage. We see whether he manages to overcome himself in summer.

Player 007 and player 149

Candidate Park Yong-Sik (Yang Dong-Geun) takes part in the competition to repay his game debts. In addition, he and his mother Jang Geum-Ja (Kang Ae-Shim) would like to make a good life. It's just stupid that it is also there. She has known about her son's problems for a long time.

In the last episode of the second season, they remain with a few others in the main room, while Gi-Hun sets off with a group to stop the front man.

Player 388

Kang Dae-Ho apparently had to go through some traumatic experiences. Image source: Netflix

The former marine member Kang Dae-Ho (Kang Ha-Neul) friends right from the start with Gi-Hun and his best friend Jung-Bae (player 390).

In the decisive change of shooting with the guards, however, Kang Dae-Ho panic and escapes back to the main room.

Player 120

Cho Hyun-Ju seems to be a campaign test, because in Squid Game 2 she proves that she can handle weapons. Image source: Netflix

With the prize money, Cho Hyun-Ju (Park Sung-Hoon) would like to pay for their gender-accumulating operations. Among other things, she closes an alliance with player 007 (Park Yong-Sik) and his mother.

In the fight against the front man, she shows herself bravely and stands by Gi-Hun with full firepower.

Player 246

The fate of players 246 is not yet known. Image source: Netflix

Park Gyeong-Seok (Lee Jin-Uk) participates in the games to finance the costly treatment of his sick daughter.

During the rebellion, he is shot by one of the guards and it remains open whether he will survive. However, it could well be that he was hit in a non-fatal point.

Player 044

Seon-Nyeo (Chae Kook-Hee) is not particularly popular with the other participants. Image source: Netflix

The shaman Seon-Nyeo, played by Chae Kook-Hee, usually only observes the spectacle from a distance and occasionally occurs with mysterious prophecies. She also survives season 2 and will definitely give one or the other prediction in the third season.

These participants could therefore play an important role in addition to Gi-Hun. But since the games are pretty unpredictable, the question remains: do you also survive the end of Squid Game?

Do you have theories what could happen next? Or which characters could still become important in what way? Let us know in the comments!
