Korean media is the gift that just keeps on giving with this battle royale style, gritty satire absolutely dominating on the platform right now, with it being in the top 10 most popular shows on the streaming service in over 22 countries. The series which is a jet black and violent portrayal of humanity is full of twists and turns, brilliant foreboding, easter eggs, hidden details and subtle references that it’s worth giving the show a full rewatch. However, until then we thought it would be best to take a look at the listed items in great detail, putting the show up to the magnifying glass, and finding the secrets hidden in plain sight.
In this video then, we will take a look at 15 things from the show that you may not have noticed on the first time of asking. We will look at all of the foreshadowing in regards to the identity of the game’s true architect (and how the evidence was in front of our eyes the whole time), the subtle imagery that spells out the entire story painted on the wall of the player’s dormitory for all to see, the subtle foreboding of key character’s deaths and how they will die, the visual cues that you may not have initially noticed, the inspiration for both the show and the costume and set design, some familiar faces you may not have noticed and some goofs the show makes just for good measure. Get ready to have your dreams haunted all over again as we reenter “Hell”.

20.04.2023I think the reason player 456 won is beacuse the prize money is 45.6b abd his number is 456 so maybe thats the reason

Sheldon Mitchell
14.04.2023On Episode 7, The Front Man was going to pickup up the phone but hesitated when he realized the receiver was turned around. Was The Front Man speaking to Il-Nam? As he said “I’m happy you enjoyed the game, sir”

🔥Master Blek🔥
14.04.2023Hey guys this is a huge conspiracy BUT what if the squid game people (workers, solders and managers) are actually clones?
What if they are cloning all of the players who lost their lives?
That would've been awesome right?
