Talking about the storyline of Squid Game Season 3, he added, “But as for the storyline of the third season, Gi-hun, having lost everything, including his best friend, and all of his attempts going to failure, it’s now, what is he going to be like? What state is Gi-hun going to be in? And what will he choose to do? Will he continue on with the mission? Is he going to give up or persist?
