“The fiece clash between their two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year.” And by the end of it, Gi-hun will have finally spent some time with his daughter, right? Right?? September 19, 2024: Player 456 is ready for the game to be over. In the special teaser, Gi-hun finds himself wearing a green athletic suit once again determined to make it end.
Hopefully, his fate isn’t decided on how well he can lick a cookie this time. This post has been updated..
