Squid Game Season 2 Synopsis In season one, Squid Game told the story of 456 debt-ridden and desperate people who joined a survival game.

They have the opportunity to take home 45.6 billion Korean won ($551.3 billion) if they win a series of six matches. However, they will die if they lose.

The Squid Game takes place in an undisclosed location, and each contestant is not allowed to leave until the game ends or until a winner is crowned.

The story of Squid Game begins when Gi Hoon (Lee Jung Jae) is fired from his job. He is said to have a pretty miserable life like the other contestants.

When his life was at the bottom, he then heard about a survival game with a prize of 45.g billion won.

Sang Woo (Park Hae Soo) is a relative that Gi Hun has considered as a younger sibling. Sang Woo actually graduated from a prestigious university, he also works quite well with a promising salary.

But suddenly, Sang Woo had a crisis at work due to misappropriation of funds.

Sang Woo and Ki Hoon then decided to join the survival game, hoping that they would be able to win the game and get the grand prize.

While in Squid Game season 2, the director is still keeping the storyline a secret. However, it is predicted that it will continue the ending of season 1 when Gi Hun, wearing a new red hairstyle, wants to defeat the people behind Squid Game.
