With the creator of Squid Game confirming a second instalment, four fans share their theories and plotline wishlists for the next season of the hit web show

The red army, fans say, is an important plot element.

What about the red army?

Although many people found the series dark and too gory, I approached it with an open mind and was happy to see how well they had showcased different sections of society, their mindsets and struggles — from people who are mired in chronic poverty and are willing to do anything for money to those who were rich but lost it all and are now desperate to regain their wealth, these facets were fascinating. Of course, since the games are the most interesting part of the show and a crucial plot point, I’d like to see more games and new characters. Since the lead character survived, I wonder if they will explore what is done with survivors/winners. At the same time, we were given a few hints about the fact that the soldiers in the red army were also operating under no choice — after all, it is a job that no one would want. Perhaps they will explore how these people were recruited and how they came to find themselves enslaved by this system. Perhaps, some of the players who were shot didn’t really die, but were revived and are now being used in the red army. At the beginning, the lead Seong Gi-hun is offered a choice of two envelopes. Does that influence whether the players enter the game as contestants or as part of the red army?
