The Creator Says Gi-hun is in ‘Utter Despair’
The creator of the series Hwang Dong-hyuk said to Netflix’s Tudum, “the new season will focus on what Gi-hun can and will do after all his efforts fail.” “He is in utter despair after losing everything and watching all his efforts go in vai,” As per Hwang, the story is taking an interesting turn and questions whether Gi-hun can overcome this shame and rise again.

What Occurs Before Squid Games Season 3?
In the previous season of Squid games, Gi-hun attempts to rally the fellow competitors from the deadly game architects. But his plan fails and the rebels almost reach the arena’s control center. But the Front Man (who spends much time hiding in plain sight) crosses the protagonist and destroys the uprising.
With a murderous knife twist, the Front man kills the protagonist’s best friend Jung-bae. Lee Jung-jae, who plays the main protagonist, isn’t sure that his character is aware of Player 001’s betrayal. He tells Tudum “I don’t think he knows yet. I think he’s blaming himself for everything that happened.”
