A theory shared on social networks could lift the veil on the existence of a seventh secret game in “Squid Game”, the result of which would have influenced the entire course of the Korean series Netflix!
Please note that the following details the plot of the Squid Game series. If you haven’t seen it yet, and don’t want to know anything about its content, then you are strongly recommended to stop reading this article now.
What if without knowing it Gi Hoon, the main protagonist of Squid Game, had himself chosen his destiny? A theory published on social media suggested that a secret game was used to select the people approached by a strange recruit (played by Gong Yoo, the main actor of The Last Train to Busan).
During his meeting with the latter, Gi Hoon agrees to participate in a game of ddakji, Korean game consisting in turning over the square of his opponent by throwing his own with power. Before starting the game, the character must first choose his color: red or blue. A seemingly innocuous choice, but which probably had a major importance on the course of the series.
Because a theory developed by an Internet user suggests that this part of ddakji would simply have the function of sorting between the participants of the game and the soldiers who will supervise the progress of the tests. By choosing the color red, one would thus become a soldier (pink uniforms), while the blue color would make it possible to select the candidates (green uniforms).
Several shadows surround this theory, which the creator of Squid Game Hwang Dong-hyuk has not yet commented. First of all, are the soldiers present during their game assigned to the year on the island, or only the time of the game? Maintained in better conditions than those of the participants (single rooms, hot meals), are they remunerated, and if so at what level?
Nevertheless, this theory makes sense, and especially that it would reinforce the idea that the game had started even before Gi Hoon and the other protagonists of the series arrived on the island. A season 2 would be an opportunity to learn more about this organization, although it is not planned for the moment …
