Played by Lee Jung-jae, Gi-hun made a dramatic return to the arena in the new trailer, which showcases his determined resolve.

When asked why he’s back, he replies firmly, “I’m trying to put an end to this game.” After surviving the brutal games in Season 1, Gi-hun now knows the true horrors of the competition. With this knowledge, he hopes to convince the new group of participants to opt out, while doing everything in his power to save their lives and end the deadly cycle.

Set three years after his victory, Season 2 dives deeper into Gi-hun’s transformation. He had initially planned to leave for the United States after his win but ultimately chooses to return to the game. The stakes remain high, with the prize money still standing at a staggering 45.6 billion won, and new players eager to join the life-or-death challenge.
