Squid Game Finale: Who Survives, Who Died And Meaning Of Cate Blanchett's Cameo
Last Updated: Here are answers to some questions that may have left the viewers scratching their heads after the Squid Game finale. The highly anticipated final season of the hit Korean drama Squid Game officially dropped on Netflix on Friday. While a lot of questions were answered, the new season left viewers with more confusion and doubts. As the series came to a close, fans were eager to understand the twists and turns that defined the game's final moments. From Gi Hun's fate to the Front Man's future plans, here are answers to some questions that may have left the viewers scratching their heads after the finale. What happened to Gi Hun? While Gi Hun made the ultimate sacrifice to save Jun Hee's newborn child, his future remains uncertain. The character's final words on the show were, 'We are not horses. We are humans", which is really important, as it relates to the show's slogan about how low humanity may descend. What happened to the Front Man character? The real character behind The Front Man is well and alive as seen by the concluding seconds of the last episode. After ordering the destruction of the island, The Front Man survives and escapes with Jun Hee's child. While his fate in the show remains a mystery, one thing is certain: his role is not over yet. After delivering the final box to Seong Gi Hun's daughter in Los Angeles, In Ho is shown watching Cate Blanchett, who will play the next Salesman. Does anyone survive the games? The Front Man is one of the game's key survivors, alongside Jun Hee's child. Almost all of the important characters were killed off within the first few episodes, with Hyun Ju's death setting off the chain reaction. In the final scene, only Minggy, Gi-Hun, and Jun Hee's child survived. Did Gi Hun finally meet the Front Man? In Ho had joined the second season as a player, and in the final season, he finally met Gi Hun when he was Player 456. Gi Hun seems to have died in the show after exposing his true identity. Who is the mastermind of the game? Oh Il Nam, the original mastermind behind the game, is no longer alive and has been confirmed to be dead. After his death, In Ho took over and controlled the game until Gi Hun died, at which point the island was destroyed. While this appears to be the conclusion of the games in South Korea, a new chapter could be on the way in the United States. Cate's mysterious character is shown playing the infamous game of Ddakji. Were Detective Jun Ho and the authorities able to end the game? Detective Jun Ho was not successful in bringing down the Squid Games in Season 3. He and No-Eul made it out safely, and the show concluded with the detective receiving Jun Hee's baby and a gold credit card with the winner's amount on it. However, he discovered that Captain Park was a crooked insider who was involved in the games. Before Jun Ho could take appropriate action with the authorities, The Front Man fled the state and vanished, tying up all loose ends on his way out by burning the island. Will there be a Squid Game spin-off? The Squid Game makers have repeatedly confirmed that season 3 will be the game's final chapter. On the other hand, the possibilities are limitless with Cate Blanchett's mystery woman entering the picture and playing a game with people in Los Angeles to recruit them. The destiny and motivations of key individuals, such as In Ho and No-Eul, have yet to be revealed, allowing room for something new. First Published:
