11 questions we still have after the Squid Game finale: who are those VIPs? How did In-ho become the Front Man? And who’s running the shows now?
- Even after its final episode, the addictive Korean drama Squid Game left us more confused than ever
- We don’t know who the VIPs are or how the staff members began working the games, it’s also unclear who is running the games now that Il-nam is gone
Spoilers ahead!
Why were 456 players picked?
It’s not clear if 456 was always how many players were in the games, or if this number has any significance.
Maybe a round number of 500 people were approached but many didn’t call the number on the business card. The exact ratio of players approached to those who actually chose to be part of the games is never said.
How many recruiters are there?
At the end of the series, Gi-hun sees the man who recruited him at the train stop with a new potential player. It seems the recruiter does this regularly, but it’s unclear how many others are also doing this job.
Since the players in the game came from different areas, it would make sense for there to be a large number of recruiters, but we only ever see one.
Who are the staff members and why are they working here?
