Squid Game Fans ‘Can’t Unsee’ Obvious Editing Error in Latest Season

Hey, we all have our off days – or perhaps Netflix’s Squid Game decided to go a bit more meta with the second season?

Squid Game viewers have recently spotted a glaring editing mistake in the highly anticipated second season, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Fans are buzzing online about this slip-up, with some taking to social media to share their discovery. As the second season of the hit South Korean survival game series continues to dominate discussions, this small error has quickly become the talk of the internet.

Netflix’s Squid Game has captivated audiences once again with its second season, but even the best shows can have their off moments. If you think about it, mistakes happen in almost every production. Who could forget the infamous Starbucks cup that made its way into Game of Thrones? Or maybe Squid Game took a more “meta” approach to its editing in season two? Either way, some fans have picked up on a mistake that’s hard to ignore, especially for those with a keen eye for detail.

As soon as season two of Squid Game dropped on December 26, 2024, fans eagerly dove into the new episodes, and it didn’t take long for viewers to be thrust back into the deadly arena. Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) returns to the Games after his initial attempts to end them go awry. In the second season, the stakes are higher, and the tension is palpable as players battle for their survival, facing off against the mysterious Front Man (played by Lee Byung-hun).

While many fans have already binge-watched the season, diving into the intense drama, it was episode seven that caught the attention of some sharp-eyed viewers. At exactly 22:39 in the episode, a surprising mistake occurs, which one Twitter user was quick to point out on January 6, 2025.

In the middle of a chaotic scene, where players are fighting back against the Pink Guards (also known as Pink Soldiers or Masked Men), the action is fast and frantic—guns are firing, guards are falling, and others are rushing for cover. The scene is meant to be tense and thrilling. But in the background, one observant viewer spotted something out of place: a camera person clearly visible in the shot.

The user who first pointed out the mistake wrote, “Lmaooooooo squid game got exposed.” And the internet quickly jumped in with their reactions. Fans couldn’t help but laugh at the unintentional appearance of a crew member in the heat of the action.

One social media user added, “Hahahaha. Nice observation,” while another quipped, “Tired editor detected. He/she must be exhausted during the shift. Terribly sorry for that.” Others joined in with humorous comments, with one person joking, “POV: When you’re so immersed in Squid Game but suddenly see a cameraman casually chilling mid-scene.”

The mistake, while minor, certainly caught people’s attention, and some fans took the opportunity to poke fun at the situation. “His job be okay, if you hadn’t pointed it out no one would have noticed,” another fan said. Others suggested that the editing crew might have been overworked or perhaps just had one of those days when things slip through the cracks.

Despite the slip-up, many fans are still enjoying the new season of Squid Game. The show’s ability to keep viewers on the edge of their seats hasn’t been affected by the editing blunder. As the second season progresses, fans continue to dissect each episode, catching hidden details, theories, and, in this case, an unfortunate mistake that can’t be unseen once noticed.

While this editing error has sparked plenty of conversation, it doesn’t take away from the overall success of the series. The second season still delivers the intense, high-stakes drama that Squid Game fans have come to love, and it’s clear the show’s massive fanbase will continue to eagerly anticipate each new development.

Squid Game remains a global phenomenon, and even with its occasional mistakes, it’s still holding its audience’s attention in a death grip.n Zemmour — didn’t endorse a possible alliance with Le Pen, in case she wins the second round.
