Squid Game Season 2: What happened to Gyeong-seok’s daughter? 

Squid Game Season 2, Netflix's highly anticipated Korean series is finally back, with a new batch of players with pressing financial conditions, desperate to win the prize money by participating in bloody games.

While Season 1 was heavy on physical gore, Season 2 is more about the psychological intensity of these characters and the new season spends a significant amount in setting the backstory for the characters.

One of these players introduced in the new season is Gyeon-seok, who participated in the game to pay for her daughter Na-yeon, who was diagnosed with blood cancer.

Gyeon-seok is an artist who cannot afford his daughter's expensive treatment. But he tragically dies in the player revolt of the finale, and Na-yeon is left with nobody to look after her and pay for her blood cancer treatment.

More about Gyeon-seok's daughter in our story.

Gyeon-seok's daughter is headed to a dire future after Squid Game Season 2

Like many players who joined Squid Game for financial reasons, Gyeon-seok's backstory is the most tragic on the show. Earlier in the season, he is shown in a theme park with his daughter Na-yeon, who is diagnosed with blood cancer.

Since blood cancer treatments are expensive and Gyeon-seok cannot afford them, he joins the game to win the cash prize money for her daughter's bills, without knowing the consequences of the deadly game.

While Gyeon-seok made it to the third game, he is tragically shot by the pink guard during the player revolt in Season 2 Episode 7. During the revolt, Kang Dae-ho goes in shock and is unable to deliver ammo to the players, who are left at the mercy of their captors.

Gyen-seok pleads with the masked pink officer to spare his life, but they shoot him, hinting that Na-yeon has lost her father and has nobody to look after her and pay for her cancer treatment.

What is Kang No-eul's connection with Gyeon-seok's daughter in Squid Game Season 2?

Kang No-eul is one of the most complicated and mysterious characters introduced in Squid Game Season 2. She is a North Korean defector who joins the game as masked security, one of the pink soldiers (011) who also executes players in the first game.

Before working in the games, she is shown working in an amusement park as a mascot, who has a brief interaction with Na-Yeon, after she gives her a drawing featuring her and No-eul in a bunny costume.

It was also revealed that No-eul has a child she left in North Korea when she came to Seoul. Assuming that Na-Yeon's father is dead and No-eul also has a child who she had to leave, Squid Game Season 3 might work on this potential storyline, and No-eul will pay Na-Yeon's medical bills and she might have a chance to redeem herself in the show's final season.

While this is just speculation, it might become a possibility considering her interaction with Na-yeon in Episode 2.
