After nearly two years Squid Game season 2 finally premiered over this Holiday Season. However, the second season doesn’t conclude the deadly games or Gi Hun's mission to expose them to the world.
If you’ve already watched season 2, you know it ends with a cliffhanger, leaving fans with numerous questions and theories about what’s next. Thankfully, season 3 is confirmed for a 2025 release, so the wait won’t be as long this time!
Spoilers!
One of the most striking moments from the finale is the introduction of a baby boy doll during the end credits. This reveal has sparked countless fan theories and excitement across social media.
The baby boy doll is none other than Cheol Su, the boyfriend of Young Hee, the "Red Light, Green Light" doll. This twist aligns with a statement from the director, who teased years ago, “You’ll also be introduced to Young Hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su".
The big question now is: What kind of game will these two dolls be involved in? One theory suggests that, after Gi Hun’s strategy of forming a single line to evade Young Hee’s motion sensors, the Front Man may add Cheol Su to attack players from behind. This could eliminate more contestants and further traumatize Gi Hun.
Young Hee and Cheol Su are iconic characters from South Korean children’s books of the 1970s and 1980s. They were used in school textbooks to teach moral lessons and etiquette, but here, their roles take a sinister turn.
In this context, Cheol Su might serve as Young Hee’s counterpart in the new, more horrifying games. The traffic light symbol spotted in the finale suggests a different game altogether, possibly more spine-chilling than the original Red Light, Green Light.
The final scene also teases new cast members. Three players — Player 096, Player 100, and Player 353 — are briefly shown but remain unidentified. Their obscured faces hint at the introduction of new survivors or major characters in the upcoming season.
With season 3 confirmed, fans are already speculating about how these eerie dolls and new players will shape the next chapter of Squid Game.
What are your theories about Cheol Su’s role in the next game and the new players’ identities, who could join season 3?
