The adorable secret meaning behind Player 222 Kim Jun-hee’s name in Squid Game

During one touching scene in Squid Game 2, the players who had separated into groups sat down to discuss the meanings behind their names. One player was 222, who has become a Squid Game 2 fav, and she said she didn’t know what her name meant.

222 had a huge role in Squid Game 2. She quickly became someone we were all backing when we found out she was in debt and pregnant. She entered the games, not knowing the full risk, to try and provide a better life for herself and her unborn child. From then onwards, we all backed her and prayed for her survival.

Her name is Kim Jun-hee. And whilst Player 222 might not have known it, it turns out the sweet meaning behind her name says a lot about her character during Squid Game.
