Since you have landed on this page, True Scoop assumes that you have started to watch Squid Game Season 2 on Netflix and wondering why Player 456 rejoin the game. The answer is clarified during a conversation between 456 and the voice of Frontman in the Limosuoine. Below is an excerpt from the conversation-
Why did Player 456 rejoin Squid Game?
Frontman said, "I honestly hoped you would have a good life. That you had put the past behind you and find happiness." Seong Gi Hun, Player 456 sarcastically said, "It's so touching to hear you really care.I am moved, I could almost cry."
Frontman said, "You should have gotten on that plane. That was the best choice you could have made." Player 456 said, "Stop the game once and for all. The one you have been playing. The one that I know is still going on. That game."
Frontman defended, "We only created it. All of you chose to participate in the game of your own free will." Frontman further said, "Our world is filling up with more and more trash. If the world doesn't change, the game doesn't end.'
On this player 456 said, "You say this is just the way the world works, and that we should shut up, accept it and go on with our lives. But, that's a story you made up to excuse your atrocities. I know that people are nothing but animals to you. You think you can buy us like the racehorses I used to bet on."
Finally, player 456 said, "I want you to send me in there again." Surprised by this, the Frontman asks the reason behind this.
456 said, "Why the hesitation, are you getting cold feet? Worried you will lose to me like Oh Il-nam? He did not want to admit it not even as he laid there on his deathbed. He knew someone had come to help that man on the street, but he refused to look out the window. The moment he drew his last breath, he finally realised that he lost."
The Frontman asks, "Do you think you can change the world?"
456 replied, "I can prove it to you."
