However, Screenrant thinks that if "Squid Game" season 2 will focus on this idea and does not replace Seong Gi Hoon as the main character, it will be a "bad idea" for the show considering that millions of viewers are looking forward to much intense installment.
"Focusing on Gi Hoon again would make Squid Game season 2 feel repetitive, meaning focusing on season 1's Gi-hun tease as a main story is a bad idea," the article reads.
