Squid Game: How This Season 1 Hero Is Still Alive

As an observer with a keen eye for detail and a heart full of empathy, I must say that watching Hwang Jun-ho’s journey in Squid Game Season 2 was nothing short of riveting. His survival against all odds, his struggle to bring the truth about the games to light, and his unwavering determination despite being met with skepticism and disbelief at every turn – it all makes for a compelling narrative.

The anticipated second season of “Squid Game” on Netflix has been released, and the popular streaming giant didn’t disappoint with unexpected twists and turns for eager fans revisiting the deadly games. While it wasn’t a surprise that the main character Seong Gi-Hun from Season 1 would return to compete again, audiences might have been taken aback by another character who seemingly came back from the grave in Season 2. Fortunately, the show provides an explanation for how this deceased character managed to participate in the new season of “Squid Game.

heads up: If you haven’t seen the first episode of Squid Game Season 2, be aware that we’re venturing into spoiler territory. In the previous season, police officer Hwang Jun-ho was a secondary character who didn’t participate in the games but kept tabs on them. He even managed to infiltrate the games by disguising himself as one of the guards. However, his brother, In-ho (the mastermind behind the survival games), shot him on a cliffside, leaving many viewers believing Jun-ho was dead. But surprisingly, it appears that Jun-ho survived the encounter as Squid Game’s second season unfolds.

How Did Hwang Survive?

The police officer was fortunate because neither the fall nor the gunshot wound proved fatal for him. A fisherman near the scene found him, returned him to South Korea, but unfortunately, no evidence from the Squid Game incident could be recovered. Due to his eccentric behavior, many of his colleagues considered him crazy. The only tangible proof he possesses is the bullet lodged in his body. As a result of this investigation, he was relegated to traffic duty as a form of punishment.

Indeed, not even the bullet could convince people about his tale. The missile, being untraceable, merely underscores the meticulousness of Squid Game in concealing their footsteps, leaving no trail whatsoever. Given the difficulty in drawing attention to these vicious games hidden in the dark corners, the officer struggles to move on with his life until a serendipitous meeting turns everything around.

Squid Game Season 3?

As a bystander, I couldn’t help but observe that the second installment of Squid Game seems to consist of just seven episodes, which might be a bit disappointing in terms of duration. However, the good news is that we won’t have to wait long for season three. In fact, next summer, we’ll be treated to the third and final chapter of this Netflix phenomenon, wrapping up the series in style. Given the massive appeal of this franchise, it will certainly be intriguing to see if the streaming service decides to revisit this world through potential spin-offs down the line.
