ET comes the most awaited moment: the premiere of ‘Squid Game’ Season 2. Did you like the first one? Are you one of those who can’t remember what happened at the end? Are you fascinated by the last image of Seong Gi-hun dying his hair red? We are here to sort out all your ideas.
- NOTE: Spoilers for the ‘Squid Game’ Season 1 finale are included below.
The finale of ‘Squid Game’ Season 1 has been etched in the minds of fans of the series, as the final moments of the series were, unsurprisingly, dominated by the duel to the death between Seong Gi-hun and Sang-woo. In short, Sang-woo surprises everyone by committing suicide in the middle of the fight, making Seong Gi-hun, the main protagonist of the series, the rightful winner of both the game and the reward money.
The last seconds of the series left the big unknown for season 2 of ‘Squid Game’, as Seong Gi-hun can be seen returning to real life with the money in his possession, leaving a memorable image because he has red hair!
Why does Seong Gi-hun dye his hair red?
It’s convenient to clarify that there is still no official explanation for this, so we’ll find out soon when we watch season 2 of ‘Squid Game.’ However, there are some interesting theories about Seong Gi-hun’s hair color change, as he decided to dye his hair red at the end of season 1.
- He is a different person now - A very plausible theory is that Gi-hun has become a completely different person than he was before participating in this macabre game. He no longer allows anyone to control his life or make decisions for him, and envisions a different future in which his personality is much stronger.
- A Tribute to the Fallen - Gi-hun has seen several comrades - and friends - die during the course of the game, so it wouldn’t be surprising if dying his hair red, the color of blood, is his way of paying a well-deserved tribute to the fallen in this strange and capricious battlefield.
- Guilt - Rather than a tribute, another theory suggests that it is a way of martyring himself; a way of symbolizing the trail of death he himself has left in some of those trials where saving himself was only possible by condemning someone else to death.
- From Hero to Villain - The last and perhaps most interesting point is that after being a participant - and a victim - Gi-hun will exchange the green suit for a red one in ‘Squid Game 2′. This means that he will become one of the villains in the second season.
Tomorrow, Thursday, December 26, we will find out for sure.
