At a recent press conference with series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk and other cast members, Lee Jung-jae, who plays the pivotal character of Seong Gi-hun in Netflix’s massively popular series, hinted that the ‘Squid Game’ finale, with the forthcoming six-episode season 3, is ‘not what you think’.
Describing season 3 as ‘finale, forgiveness, harmony’, rather contradictory to creator’s description of ‘crazy, insane and nuts’, Jung-jae explained his stance saying, “I believe that director Hwang came up with the most adequate, the most unpredictable, the most meaningful and the most intriguing and entertaining ending possible.”
He continued to share, “I thought director Hwang’s decision that he had made… he was very determined and he knew what he was doing. But I’m sure that he went through a lot of internal debate and struggles, because as we all know, it’s just a hugely successful series.”

“So when it’s a story that big, how do you bring that to closure as writer, director, and creator? And, especially for a character like Gi-hun, where do you leave his journey?” he added. “I know that he listened to a lot of other people’s ideas as well. He would also discuss it with me and the crew as well.”
“So, I am very happy with the finale, and you all are going to be able to see where it all ends soon, but I can guarantee you it’s not going to be what you think,” Jung-jae teased in the end.
Notably, the third and final season of Hwang Dong-hyuk’s survival series ‘Squid Game’ will start streaming on Netflix from June 27.
