Who survives Squid Game?
Unsurprisingly, given the premise of the show, not many of the main characters survive.
Out of the players, it is only Gi-hun - who wins the games - who makes it to the end of the series.
Sang-woo, Sae-byeok, Abdul Ali, Deok-su, and Mi-nyeo are all killed during the games.
As for Il-nam, while we assume he is killed after the marble game, we learn that the end that he was the one who invented the games, so was not murdered.
However, he does die of natural causes after telling Gi-hun the truth.
Does policeman G-hun die?
Gi-hun is shot by the Front Man - who is unmasked as his brother in a shocking twist - but we don't yet know if he survived the injury. He was shot in the shoulder and fell in the sea, so he may have survived the incident.
