Song Featured in Squid Game Season 2, Episode 5’s Six-Legged Pentathlon Scene

WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Squid Game Season 2.

In the gripping fifth episode of Squid Game Season 2, titled “Han Geim Deo”(translated as “One More Game”), a poignant musical piece accompanies the intense six-legged pentathlon scene. The narrative thus far has followed the journey of Gi-hun, known as Player 456, as he returns to the Squid Game to exact revenge against Front Man In-ho. Among the contestants, both allies and foes, new characters such as the undercover Player 001 navigate through the deadly games of this season.

Despite the dramatic twists and turns, one of the most shocking revelations is that the Squid Games do not conclude by the end of the season 2 finale. This cliffhanger leaves Gi-hun in a precarious and heart-wrenching position, particularly following the loss of his closest friend, Jung-bae. However, before reaching the finale, Gi-hun, along with Jung-bae and In-ho, successfully collaborates to triumph in the six-legged pentathlon, showcasing the strength of teamwork amidst adversity.
