“Squid Game” Season 3 stars Yim Si-wan and Jo Yu-ri open up about Myung-gi and Jun-hee’s complex bond, tough choices, and which game they’d survive in real life.
🎮 The Stakes Are Higher And The Lessons Are Deeper In Season 3
“Squid Game” Season 3 is back with more mind-bending twists, emotional betrayals, and high-stakes games. But what really steals the spotlight this season is the complicated relationship between Player 333, Myung-gi (played by Yim Si-wan), and Player 222, Jun-hee (played by Jo Yu-ri).
In an exclusive interview, I sat down with the two stars to unpack the emotional depth and life lessons behind their characters’ journey.
💔 Love, Schemes & Accountability: Myung-gi And Jun-hee’s Twisted Bond
Myung-gi and Jun-hee’s on-screen dynamic isn’t just tense—it’s layered, toxic, and heartbreakingly real.
Yim Si-wan offered a sharp observation:
“I think if you try to scheme your way through love, that’s never gonna end in good consequences.”
Jo Yu-ri chimed in with a pointed yet humorous take from Jun-hee’s point of view:
“You need to meet a good man!”
Their storyline reminds us that even in the “Squid Game” universe, love without integrity comes at a cost.
💪🏾 Hope In Chaos: What Jun-hee Teaches Us About Strength
Jun-hee may not be the loudest in the room, but her quiet resilience leaves a lasting impression.
When asked what audiences could learn from her character, Jo shared:
I hope viewers get the realization that a mother’s love is so strong and pure and indestructible…
I hope viewers call their moms.
That unwavering maternal love—expressed even in the most brutal conditions—adds a layer of emotional truth to this season.
💸 Myung-gi’s Tug-Of-War Between Love And Greed
While many contestants enter the game with survival on their minds, Myung-gi is also running from the emotional damage he’s caused outside.
Yim Si-wan explained:
Myung-gi is greedy for the money, but at the same time, he truly loved Jun-hee.
So he is still torn between Jun-hee and the money.
This inner conflict sets the stage for one of the season’s most compelling arcs.
🕹️ Which Game Would They Survive IRL?
We couldn’t wrap without asking the most fun (and essential) question: Which “Squid Game” challenge do they think they could survive in real life?
Yim Si-wan confidently chose:
“Jegichagi! I’ve practiced a lot. I’m confident.”
Jo Yu-ri shared:
“Hide and seek was my favorite as a child, but I think I could actually win red light, green light.”
Now that’s the energy you need in the “Squid Game” arena.
