On September 20, 2024, Netflix unveiled the official trailer for Squid Game season 2, which is set to premiere on December 26. The popular series will see the return of Lee Jung-jae as player 456, Seong Gi-hun, alongside Lee Byung-hun reprising his role as The Front Man. Wi Ha-jun will also return as Police Officer Hwang Jun-ho, who met a shocking fate at the end of season 1.
The new trailer for season 2 has sparked numerous fan theories as netizens speculate about the storyline. One of the highlights is the introduction of a new set of pink soldiers—the Front Man’s troops wearing distinctive pink uniforms and black masks.
5 Fan Theories About Squid Game Season 2 That Are Making Waves
Squid Game 2 will boast a stellar cast featuring popular actors such as Im Siwan (Summer Strike), Park Gyu-young (A Good Day To Be A Dog), Lee Jin-uk (Sweet Home), BIGBANG’s T.O.P., and Kang Ha-neul (Love Reset), among others. Fans are eagerly anticipating the new twists and turns these characters may bring.
Below are our top 5 intriguing fan theories inspired by the latest Netflix trailer:
1) What is the significance of the Front Man knocking on Seong Gi-hun’s door?
The trailer features a mysterious figure dressed in a black uniform and mask, knocking on Seong Gi-hun’s (Lee Jung-jae) door. Speculation suggests this individual might be the Front Man himself, who orchestrated the Squid Game competition. However, some believe that Gi-hun may have been captured by the Front Man’s troops, prompting this personal visit.
2) Why does Seong Gi-hun’s hair look different in the trailer?
In the finale of Squid Game season 1, Seong Gi-hun wins but vows to seek revenge against the game organizers and the Front Man. He was seen with bright red hair, yet in the season 2 trailer, Gi-hun sports shorter, black hair. This change has led fans to theorize about the time lapse between the two seasons.
3) Was Gi-hun being kept captive in the Squid Game pink troop’s quarters?
The trailer opens with Gi-hun waking up in a motel after a nightmare. The following scene shows him confronting the Front Man, who seems to be in a similar environment where pink troop soldiers emerge from their rooms. This led to speculation that Gi-hun might have been held captive in the same quarters as the troops.
4) Who is the figure in the black uniform and mask?
A new member of the pink troops in Squid Game 2 has sparked various theories. Fans are curious about the identity of the soldier in a black uniform adorned with a square emblem. Some theories suggest this new character could be the Front Man’s younger brother (played by Wi Ha-joon). TechRadar noted that Wi Ha-joon hinted at the possibility of his character becoming a villain in the upcoming season.
5) How does Seong Gi-hun find himself back in the game with the same player number?
Early fan theories suggest that Seong Gi-hun might re-enter the game in Squid Game 2. Speculation indicates that his daughter could be involved in the storyline, potentially compelling Gi-hun to participate once more to protect her. However, no official confirmation has come from the cast regarding this theory.
Squid Game 2 will be streaming on Netflix starting December 26, 2024. Viewers can also catch up on season 1 available on the platform.
