Warning! This article contains spoilers for Squid Game season 2.
It is hard not to foresee how Kim Jun-hee’s pregnancy story in Squid Game season 2 is going to end tragically. Like season 1, Squid Game season 2 introduces a diverse set of players in its early moments, highlighting how each of them is in desperate need of money to make ends meet. Some of these new Squid Game characters leave their morals behind and set out to win the game at all costs. Others, in contrast, retain their sense of humanity even after they enter the gruesome survival games.
Kim Jun-hee falls in the latter category as she intends to cause no harm to anyone else. She is portrayed as a pregnant woman who ends up joining Gi-hun and the other heroes during the games. Although her pregnancy is perceived as a liability by many contestants at the games, Jang Geum-ja tries to look out for her while the main heroes ensure her safety in some of the more brutal games. Kim Jun-hee eventually survives the entire Squid Game season, but her pregnancy storyline seems to be heading in a harrowing direction.
There’s No Way Squid Game Season 2’s Pregnancy Story Has A Happy Ending
Squid Game Has Never Been About Happy Endings
The game’s organizers in Squid Game season 2 introduce a new rule that allows players to vote on whether they wish to continue after every game. If the majority of players vote in favor of quitting the game, the accumulated money will be split between all contestants. However, the greedy ones who wish to continue the games always end up outnumbering the ones who want to leave in Squid Game season 2. Owing to this, it seems likely that very few players will eventually survive the death games.

Like its predecessor, Squid Game season 2 features many character deaths – while some of these are predictable, others catch the viewer off-guard.
With the survival rate going so low, both Jun-hee and Myung-gi are in danger. As long as heroes like Gi-hun, Hyun-ju, and Jang Geum-ja are still in the game, they will ensure Jun-hee survives. However, with the heroes significantly declining in number after Squid Game season 2’s ending arc, Jun-hee’s chances of survival grow slimmer. Even if Jun-hee makes it out alive, it seems likely Myung-gi will not meet a similar fate. Now that he has killed Thanos, Nam-gyu is waiting for the right opportunity to get back at him. In season 3, Nam-gyu will do everything to get Myung-gi out of his way.
In Squid Game season 2, the shaman, Seon-nyeo, also announces a prophecy while looking at Jun-hee during the Mingle game, claiming that there is a reason why Gi-hun has survived so long.
Although Myung-gi and Jun-hee’s relationship has not been great, Myung-gi was seemingly trying to make amends and get back with Jun-hee in season 2. If he dies, Jun-hee will have to raise her child all by herself in the outside world. In Squid Game season 2, the shaman, Seon-nyeo, also announces a prophecy while looking at Jun-hee during the Mingle game, claiming that there is a reason why Gi-hun has survived so long. While it may be hard to take her too seriously, her prophecy might come true, and Gi-hun might eventually die saving Jun-hee.

Jun-hee Was Also A Victim Of Myung-gi’s Crypto Scheme
As Squid Game season 2 reveals, Jun-hee was dating Myung-gi when he was running a successful YouTube channel. Like many, she, too, trusted him and bought Kimmycoin at his behest, hoping to get a massive return. However, the coin turned out to be a crypto scam, leading her to lose her hard-earned money. After the loss, Jun-hee broke up with Myung-gi and later discovered she was pregnant. Similar to Myung-gi and others impacted by the crypto scam, Jun-hee came to the games in Squid Game season 2 to get out of debt and start a new life for herself and her child.
In Squid Game, a mysterious invitation to join a competition is sent to people at risk who are in dire need of money. Four hundred fifty-six participants from all walks of life are locked into a secret location where they play games to win 45.6 billion won. Games are selected from traditional Korean children’s games, such as Red Light and Green Light, but the consequence of losing is death. To survive, competitors must choose their alliances carefully – but the further they go in the competition, the more likely betrayal will rear its ugly head.
