Squid Game director has a plan for Sae-byeok’s return

At one point during the red carpet event, Hwang Dong-hyuk jokingly shared that even though the actress’ character, Sae-byeok, dies in Season 1 of the series, she could still return as her twin sister in Season 2. While that might have been a joke, ardent fans of Jung Ho-yeon are keeping their fingers crossed for the possibility.

In the first season of the Netflix series, she was seen as Sae-byeok, a North Korean defector whose mother was caught and deported back while her father died trying to escape.

Sae-byeok lived in South Korea with her brother and picked pockets in hopes of trying to earn enough money to fulfill her dream of buying a house and finally uniting her family.

This made her a perfect candidate for the Squid Game. While she turns out to be one of the few surviving players to make it to the last few rounds, she is mortally injured before the final level and is killed.
