Introducing Cheol-su
The surprises didn’t stop there. During the credits, viewers were introduced to Cheol-su, a young boy robot doll with a green hat and striped shirt.

Hwang Dong-hyuk, the creator, writer, and director of Squid Game, confirmed that this scene serves as a teaser for season 3. “Cheol-su, like Young-hee, is a giant doll we’re introducing in the next season,” Hwang explained. “This is also a hint at one of the most exciting games that will be featured in season 3.”
Expanding the Story
Season 2 deepened the intrigue of the series by expanding the narrative around Gi-hun’s battle against the sinister organization running the deadly games.

The introduction of Cheol-su not only amplifies the suspense but also promises a darker and more complex storyline in the next season.
Hwang revealed that the decision to split the story between seasons 2 and 3 was due to the extensive material. By teasing Cheol-su’s arrival in season 2, he has set the stage for a thrilling continuation that fans will eagerly await.

Hwang first hinted at Cheol-su’s introduction in 2022, referring to him as Young-hee’s “boyfriend.” His debut in the credits scene has already sparked fan speculation about how he will shape the series’ future.
With its gripping narrative and shocking twists, Squid Game continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Season 3 promises to push the boundaries even further, delivering more suspense, drama, and unforgettable moments. As fans await its return in 2025, the introduction of Cheol-su ensures the stakes will be higher than ever.
