Gi-hun, proved the Frontman wrong. The Frontman believed that people are selfish by nature, but Gi-hun showed that even in the worst situations—like the deadly Squid Game—people can still choose to be kind and selfless.
At the end, Gi-hun says, “We are not horses, we are humans. Humans are…” and stops mid-sentence. That’s important. Horses are animals trained to follow orders, fight in wars, or race for entertainment—they act on instinct. The Squid Game is similar, where people are forced into life-or-death situations like animals. But Gi-hun’s unfinished sentence raises a deeper question: What does it really mean to be human? Yes, Gi-hun saw kindness and compassion, but he also saw greed, cruelty, and betrayal. So the show is saying that humans aren’t just good or bad—we’re complex. The word “humanity” is often used to describe kindness, but the people who created the games, and those who killed others to survive, were also human. So in the end, the story leaves us with a big question: What are humans, really? Gi-hun doesn’t answer it—because maybe there isn’t a simple answer.
