In the credits scene, three plays walk into a new arena and we seen the “Red Light, Green Light” doll Young-hee, as well as a boy on the other side of the room – that would be Cheol-su!
Cheol-su is seen wearing a green hat and a green striped shirt. Before the scene ends, we see a red light turn off and a green light turn on.
“That’s actually a [sneak peek] of Cheol-su, who, like Young-hee, is a new giant doll that we’re going to be showcasing in season 3,” Hwang told EW. “And that’s also a hint at the most exciting game in season 3 as well. So, while it hasn’t been shared yet, I hope everyone will be excited to meet Cheol-su and the new game.”
Previously, Hawng Dong-hyuk teased the new addition of Cheol-su when season two was announced, calling him Young-hee’s boyfriend.
Hwang Dong-hyuk hinted at what’s to come in season three in another interview.
“As for the storyline of the third season, Gi-hun having lost everything, including his best friend, and all of his attempts going to failure, it’s now, what is he going to be like?” he told Variety. “What state is Gi-hun going to be in? And what will he choose to do? Will he continue on with the mission? Is he going to give up or persist? And so you’re going to meet our character Gi-hun at a very critical crossroads as we begin the third season. Gi-hun will not be the man he was in Season 2.”
