Geum-ja’s son Yong-sik/Player 007 (Yang Dong-geun) also met his demise during hide-and-seek. When he couldn’t find any hiders, he turned on Jun-hee and her baby in the game’s final minutes. To prevent him from attacking the new mom, Geum-ja maimed him with her hairpin before he was fatally shot by guards.
Sadly, neither she or Jun-hee made it to the final round of the competition. Riddled with guilt over her son’s death, Geum-ja hung died by suicide in middle of the night. Meanwhile, Jun-hee—having injured her ankle during hide-and-seek—leaped off the platform rather than be forced to jump rope in the penultimate round.
As for rebel Squid Game guard No-eul (Park Gyu-young)? She was able to sneak Gyeong-seok/Player 246 (Lee Jin-wook) out of the game and destroy files containing players’ information. In addition, the North Korea native learned that her long-lost daughter was actually alive, embarking on a trip to China to track her down.
While season three marked the end of the road for Gi-hun and his friends, showrunner Hwang Dong-hyuk teased there were still plenty of stories to explore set in the Squid Game universe. After all, in a surprise Cate Blanchett cameo during the final minutes of season three, viewers learned that the dangerous games were also being held in L.A.
