Who won in Squid Game?

KoreceSquid Game / Dil

Gi-hun wins – the homeless man is aided by a passing citizen – but Il-nam dies. It’s unclear whether Il-nam sees this act of kindness before he passes, but the interpretations drawn from this scene are two-fold. The first: Il-nam dies thinking he has won the game, and that there is no humanity left in the world.

The series revolves around a contest where 456 players, all of whom are in deep financial debt, risk their lives to play a series of deadly children’s games for the chance to win a ₩45.6 billion prize. The title of the series draws from a similarly named Korean children’s game.

There’s no official date for Squid Game Season 2 currently but it’s confirmed that the show has been renewed.
