Throughout Season 2 of Squid Game, the supervising leader of the games, Hwang In-ho, infiltrates among the participants posing as Player 001 to sway the vote in favor of the Circles team. That is, those who want to continue playing. He also uses this opportunity to gain Gi-hun’s trust, as he knows exactly who he is and what he wants to do.

Squid Game season 2 just released on Netflix last week, but its creator is already teasing when season 3 might air. Speaking to Variety, Hwang Dong-hyuk explained that fans shouldn't have to wait as long as the gap between 2021's season 1 and 2024's season 2.
