The Recruiter From Squid Game 2 Is Still Alive- As if the Cameraman Blunder Wasn’t Enough Eagle Eyed Fan Exposes Another Mistake of Netflix

SUMMARY

• Despite a well-made season 2, fans were able to spot a few mistakes in Squid Game.
• Eagle-eyed viewers noticed the Recruiter’s eyes opening post-mortem, sparking debates about editing errors or plot twists.
• A cameraman appearing in the Season 2 finale (Episode 7, 22:39) marked a major editing blunder.

When we pressed play on Squid Game season 2, we did not expect to be hit with one good-looking dude after the other. Whether it was the handsome policeman Hwang Jun-ho or Player 333, the second season had more than just deadly games to offer. However, none of them hold a candle to the one, the only, the Recruiter. Played by Gong Yoo, the recruiter is the villain who has everyone questioning their morality. Needless to say, his death was a big fat bummer!

After Seong Gi-hun brings the Recruiter to his end in the first episode of season 2, fans noticed an anomaly in one of the scenes. As he lay dead in the background of the shot, some eagle-eyed fans noticed how the Recruiter’s eyes opened. This, combined with a cameraman caught in one of the shots, really doesn’t make the editors look good.

Season 2 starts with Lee Jung-jae‘s Gi-hun on a hunt for the Recruiter that got him instated in the games in the first place. When he finally succeeds, he gets challenged by him to a game of Russian Roulette which he ends up losing, resulting in his death.

For fans of Squid Game who grew to love Gong Yoo’s character for more reasons than one, this was a sad, sad day. What can we say? We love our men with some character.

In the second episode when Gi-hun and Choi Woo-seok were talking, some eagle-eyed fans pointed out the moment the Recruiter’s eyes opened in the background of the scene, despite him being long dead.

Check out the moment below:

Now, was this on purpose or a mistake made by the editors, we don’t know. However, the majority of the fans seem to be convinced that the team of Squid Game season 2 overlooked this small detail just like they overlooked the cameraman in one of their later episodes. Don’t know what we are talking about? Read on.

Squid Game season 2 makes a blunder with its cameraman

In the season finale of season 2, Gi-hun and his allies face off against the pink guards of the games but unfortunately, this grave moment was disrupted by an unwelcomed guest in the bunkers.

As the two groups open fire on each other, the camera pans to a scene where we can very clearly see a cameraman in the top-right corner of the shot. If you want to go and check it out for yourself, the timestamp is episode 07, 22.39.

To be fair, many viewers probably skipped over the blunder in the episode given how fast-paced and intense the moment was. But of course, nothing goes past some fans!

While the team can say that Gong Yoo’s moment was a well-calculated decision, they will sure have a tough time trying to explain this mess. But hey, we can turn a blind eye to it all, right? Everyone makes mistakes!

Squid Game is available to watch on Netflix.
