Mistakes and hidden meanings in The Squid Game that many overlook

Almost everyone has heard of “Squid Game” — it’s one of the most popular series on Netflix. Fans have been binge-watching it, coming up with all sorts of theories, and analyzing the footage pixel by pixel. But even the most popular show is not without its flaws.

Player numbers are mixed up

In the first game, 456 participants will take part in the competition, and each will be given a unique number. But the problem is that in some scenes the characters' numbers are the same, while in others they change. The most obvious example is player number 061. Initially, she was a woman, but when the list of those who left was shown, a man appeared in her place.

A participant over 120 years old

Do you remember player number 017, who worked in a glass factory and could distinguish between tempered glass? According to the documents, he was born in 1897. If we believe this information, then at the time of his participation he was 124 years old. Of course, the scriptwriters simply made a mistake, and later Netflix corrected the date of birth to 1987.

Variable umbrella shape

In the episode "Sugar Sweets", the participants choose one of four shapes: a circle, a triangle, a star, or an umbrella. However, if you look closely, you can see that in some shots the shape of the umbrella on the wall changes, and its dome is even more curved.

Ki-hoon pretends to "eat" an empty spoon

In the third episode, Ki-hoon complains that his food has gotten cold. But he puts the empty spoon in his mouth, pretending to eat. Perhaps the actor did not take into account the double, and the editors left this shot in the final version.

Ki Hoon's mysterious phone

In the finale, Ki Hoon talks to his daughter on a Samsung Galaxy S7. However, at the airport, when he is making an important decision, he is shown holding a Samsung S3.

Policeman's phone won't run out of power for a week

Policeman Hwang Jun-ho, who inspects games, always uses the same phone. He takes pictures, records videos, sends messages, but... he never charges it. No matter how strong the battery is, this is impossible.

Real phone number on the business card

The card the recruiter gave him really has a real phone number. After the series aired, the owner of the number began to receive thousands of calls and messages. Netflix was forced to urgently change this number for subsequent shows.

Kang Se-byok's North Korean accent

If you knew Korean, you would have noticed that Kang Se-byok speaks with a South Korean accent. However, when she speaks to her brother, she speaks like she does in North Korea. This subtle difference is not without reason: the girl tries to hide her origin to avoid discrimination. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
