Squid Game Victors Listed in Chronological Sequence

Squid Game is not a new concept within the show's world, having been in existence for decades. Here is a list, in chronological order, of all the known winners in the canon. Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the series centers around a secret competition in South Korea that forces 456 people, regardless of their demographics or financial status, to compete in deadly challenges such as Red Light Green Light and the eponymous playground game. The only condition is that if you lose, you die.

The concept became immensely popular, surpassing even Stranger Things to become Netflix's most successful original show ever. This week, its reality TV equivalent will air its finale, featuring real people vying for a $4.56 million prize. As fans eagerly anticipate the winner, many may not realize that the fictional version of Squid Game has been around for a while, complete with murders, violence, and more. Here are all the known winners.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I have mixed feelings about the Squid Game victors being listed in chronological sequence. On the one hand, I am intrigued by the idea of discovering the triumphant journey of the winners throughout the decades and learning more about the captivating world of the show. On the other hand, I am concerned that this list may reveal too much about the show's plot and ruin the suspense for future viewers.

Overall, I think it is an interesting idea to list the Squid Game victors in chronological sequence, but I would have preferred if the list was released after the show's finale. This would have allowed viewers to fully enjoy the show without any spoilers.
