Squid Game viewers share major theory about Red Light Green Light game that could change how you watch it

The second season of Squid Game continues three years after Seong Gi-hun's victory

If you are yet to binge Squid Game 2 then this might change the way you watch it.

The second season of the Netflix series follows Seong Gi-hun's (Lee Jung-jae) journey three years after winning.

Remaining haunted by his experience of the deadly competition, Gi-hun returns to take out the evil organisation from within.

However, his revenge quest becomes complicated due to Player 001 Hwang In-ho (Lee Byung-hun), whose motives soon unravel.

Lee Myung-gi (Yim Si-wan), known as Player 333, makes his debut alongside fellow contestant Thanos (Choi Seung-hyun).

Yong-sik (Yang Dong-geun), or Player 007, also enters the games with his mother, Player 149 (Kang Ae-shim).

Meanwhile, police officer Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) is back for the second showing.

Now that the new season has been out for a few days, fans have come up with a theory online that the infamous Red Light, Green Light game is rigged.

As reported by Screen Rant, this is first noticed when Gi-hun is proven right when Player 196 is the first to die.

The fact a bee appears in an indoor environment to sit on 196 - which makes her move and leads to her death - all seems a bit sus.

"They obviously want the tournament to be a bloodbath, as that's the entire reason the VIPs watch it," Screen Rant explains.

"If the first challenge doesn't kill anyone, that would be massively disappointing for them.

"And so, it seems probable that the bee is planted by the Games' organisers with the intention of causing panic, and thus, more deaths."

Also without giving it away, the twist at the end with Player 001 could suggest that the whole thing is fixed.

People appear to be figuring this out over on Twitter, as one person tweeted: "You are meant to not win. If you win its cause they allowed it and it's never with clean hands. Every game, environment, situation and detail in Squid Game is manipulated or rigged to bring players demise and suffering for benefit of the elite."

"It seems the organisers of this game cheated. I don’t think Player 001 was in the 'green light red light' game. They rigged the vote like INEC #SquidGame2," a second penned.

"Ok but is anyone else annoyed how seong gihun did not question player 001 at all especially when the LAST 001 player was literally the host of the f**king squid games LIKE YOU HAD TO HAVE SOME KIND OF SUSPICION AT LEAST??? #SquidGame2," added a third.
