A letter from a former contestant of the original Squid Game.
“As one of the contestants in the first season of Squid Game, I can tell you that the experience was nothing short of traumatizing. The fear, the desperation, the realization that our lives were at stake at every turn - it was all too much to bear. And now, as news of a second season spreads, I find myself trembling at the thought of going through it all again.
It's not just the memories of the games themselves that haunt me, although those are certainly terrifying enough. From Red Light, Green Light to Tug of War to Glass Bridge, every single challenge was designed to test our physical and mental limits, to push us to the brink of collapse. I still remember the sickening crunch of bodies hitting the ground during the Honeycomb game, or the way my heart raced during the final showdown with the Front Man.
But it's not just the games that make me fearful. It's the knowledge that we'll be up against a whole new set of opponents, each one just as desperate and determined as we were. It's the thought of having to betray friends and allies in order to survive, knowing that any wrong move could spell instant death. It's the fear that no matter how hard we try, we might not make it out alive.
And then there's the question of why we're even doing this in the first place. What kind of sick, twisted minds came up with this game, and why do they insist on torturing us like this? Are we pawns in some larger scheme, or just disposable playthings for the amusement of the rich and powerful?
I know that some of my fellow contestants might relish the chance to return for a second season. Maybe they think they can win, or maybe they just crave the thrill of the game. But for me, the thought of going back fills me with dread. I don't want to be a part of this twisted spectacle any longer. I just want to go home, to live a normal life again, to forget that any of this ever happened.
But I know that's not possible. The memories of Squid Game will stay with me forever, no matter how hard I try to push them aside. And now, as the countdown to season two begins, I can only pray that I have the strength to face it all again - or that I'll be lucky enough to find a way out before it's too late.”
