But ultimately, it’s Gi-hun’s decision to return to the deadly competition inSquid Gameseason 2.
The two have a tense conversation, during which Gi-hun tells the Front Man to stop the Games.

Gi-hun underestimates the Game’s organizers, and it results in him having to form a new plan.
First, it makes sense from a writing standpoint.
We already know Gi-hun as Player 456, so there’s no reason to switch his number.
This would only make things complicated for fans.
Squid Game is a South Korean series released in 2021 about financially struggling individuals who are invited to participate in a series of children’s games. The competition offers a lucrative prize but comes with perilous consequences, as the players soon discover the lethal stakes involved in each round.
That said, there’s also an in-universe reason the show gives Gi-hun the same number.
Rather than waiting for backup to arrive,Gi-hun attempts to put an end to the tournament from within.
His efforts to help his fellow players survive Red Light Green Light are part of that.
Squid Gameseason 2 is now streaming on Netflix, and season 3 is confirmed for 2025.
