Here Are the Amounts that Each ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 Character Owes
Netflix’s hit series Squid Game is a South Korean thriller that captures the intense struggle of participants battling to escape their massive debts through a deadly competition. The stakes are life or death, with each contestant vying for a prize that grows only as others perish.
In this high-stakes game, the prize pot can reach up to 45.6 billion won (around $31.2 million). The money increases by 0.1 billion won every time a player dies. By the end of season two, the prize fund hits 36.1 billion won (roughly $24.7 million), with 95 players still alive. If they choose to quit together, each would walk away with 380 million won, about $260,000.
