Jung Bae (Lee Seo Hwan)
Right at the end of season 2, after reaching the stairs to the Front Man’s offices, Gi-hun and his best friend Jung-bae are forced to surrender to the red workers.
As the two drop their weapons, the Front Man walks down the stairs and holds Gi-hun at gunpoint. He then points the gun at Jung-bae and kills him to teach Gi-hun a lesson. Neither of them realize that the Front Man (real name In-ho) is actually Young-il, player 001 whom they had befriended during the games.
Jung-bae is the ultimate death of Squid game season 2 that we see on screen.

Did player 246 (Kyung Seok) die? Squid game season 2?
Despite being shot by one of the red workers in the last episode, there is speculation that Lee Jin-wook’s character Kyung Seok isn’t actually dead…
Kyung Seok was part of Gi-hun’s group that staged the coup. Out of ammunition, he agreed to surrender to the guards, but was ultimately shot in the chest immediately after mentioning his sick daughter and begging for mercy.
Viewers see him fall to the ground, but some believe his life was somehow spared by red worker No-eul (011). Earlier this season, it was revealed that the two were working together at the theme park. No-eul knows about his sick daughter and the reason why he participated in the games.
Previously, No-eul shot players to kill, which in turn compromised the secret organ harvesting activities. The fan theory suggests that she either shot him in a non-lethal spot, or shot him with a blank so he could survive and come home to his daughter.
The fate of player 246 is revealed in Squid game season 3.
