Who all survived in Squid Game Season 2?

Seong Gi-hun returned in the second season of Squid Game despite winning the first one and it seemed that his ambitions were higher this time. He not only eyed the prize but also wanted to attack the masterminds who were running the deadly games.

As a result, the games did not conclude in the second season as Gi-hun’s rebel attack caused utter chaos in the dormitory. This attack also caused multiple deaths besides the ones already happening because of the games.

However, despite everything, several players made it alive. Here’s a list of the players who were alive by the end of Squid Game Season 2:

• Gi-hun (Player 456) - makes it out alive this season as well
• Geum-ja (Player 149) - player 007’s mother, she survived by hiding during the shootout
• Yong-sik (Player 007) - Geum-ja’s gambler son kept himself safe by hiding with his mother
• Jun-hee (Player 222) - keeps herself and the child she is carrying safe by hiding while the shootout happened
• Seon-nyeo (Player 044) - hid during the time of the shootout and thus remained safe
• Hyun-ju (Player 120) - he went to find Dae-ho in the dorm and kept himself safe
• Myung-gi (Player 333) - Jun-hee’s alleged ex-partner, made it out alive by hiding during the shootout
• Dae-ho (Player 388) - a marine, went to get more ammo from the dorm and decided not to join back in the fight because of fear
• In-ho - the Front Man, posing as Young-il (Player 001), survived by faking his own death.

Lesser-known players like 096 also seem to have made it out alive as hinted in the post-credit scenes. These players who made it out alive in Squid Game Season 2 will likely be seen again in Season 3.

What happened in Squid Game Season 2?

A lot happened in the second season of Squid Game including fans witnessing more heart-wrenching deaths and betrayals. The Frontman killed Jung-bae, Gi-hun's childhood friend, which not only caused Gi-hun extreme emotional turmoil but also affected the rebellion.

Gi-hun’s plan of overthrowing the organizers succeeded briefly before the authorities took control and the rebels had to hide to save themselves. Player 246 surrendered once their ammo ran out but unfortunately, it was not accepted.

In the showdown, Gi-hun faced the Frontman who did not hesitate to tell him the possible consequences of his actions. Despite not being killed by the Frontman at that moment, his fate remains the cliffhanger that left the viewers eager for season 3.

Squid Game Seasons 1 and 2 can be streamed on Netflix.
