We are fans of Squid Game who were deeply affected by the ending of Season 3. What happened to Gi-hun did not feel like a natural conclusion to his character, but rather like a betrayal of everything he represented. There was an earlier version of the story where he survived with the baby and left the games again, and many of us believe that version would have made far more sense emotionally and narratively. What happened instead left people feeling shocked, abandoned, and disconnected. When characters that audiences deeply connect with are suddenly removed in such a hopeless and senseless way, it breaks the trust viewers have in the story. Some fans no longer feel safe getting attached to anyone, because they fear the show will punish that attachment without meaning. This emotional damage has already led many people to say they won’t watch the next season, simply because they can’t handle another loss like this. We’re not asking for fan service, we’re asking for storytelling that values what the audience has emotionally invested in. Gi-hun mattered. He gave people hope. Taking him away so abruptly felt like taking that hope away. We ask you to either bring back the original planned ending where he survives with the baby, or return him to the story in a meaningful and respectful way. Otherwise, the emotional damage done to this fanbase may not be repairable.
