‘Squid Game’ fans notice glaring blooper in Season 2 that’s impossible to miss: 'They had one job’

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘Squid Game’ season two fans have found a glaring mistake, presumably a production error, in the seventh episode of the recently released season. 

With the second installment of the South Korean show gaining immense popularity within days of its release on December 26, it was only a matter of time before the fans started combing through the episodes to find Easter eggs. 

‘Squid Game’ fans find unwelcome entity

While watching the series, some eagle-eyed viewers found a surprising presence in the seventh episode. 

One such user shared on their social media platform that during a high-octane scene from the seventh episode, a camera operator was mistakenly captured in the background. 

While it is not improbable for the camera operator to remain conspicuously in the background to film the scene, many users pointed out that it was the editor’s job to identify the frame and edit accordingly. 

Sharing a clip from the episode, the 'Squid Game' fan noted that the gaffe took place at the time stamp 22:39. 

During the high-stakes scene, as the camera pans towards the contestants wearing the green costumes, the unfortunate camera personnel peaked from behind as he was engrossed in capturing the footage. 

Soon, the gaffe gave rise to a series of memes and jokes on social media with several users even drawing similarities with the infamous scene from ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8, Episode 4 when a ubiquitous Starbucks coffee cup made its way to the final cut. 

Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, and starring actors like Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Wi Ha-joon, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-wook, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-shim, and Jo Yu-ri, 'Squid Game Season 2' is currently streaming on Netflix. 

'Squid Game' fans wonder how the blunder passed undetected

The internet was left unimpressed as the glaring mistake came to the audience's attention and they wondered how Netflix could miss it being such a huge company. 

One of the social media users said, "How can such a big company not realize this 💀."

"Bro is definitely losing his job after that one 😭😭😭," predicted someone else. 

Another fan chimed in, "Why’s bro bringing a camera to a gun fight??😭."

Meanwhile, another social media user hypothesized, "They probably figured people wouldn't be looking at the show frame by frame."

Someone else mourned, "How are you this big of a company and you can’t spot that 😭."

Another user quipped, "Oooop someone must have been sleepy in post to not catch that one 😅."

"They definitely chickened out on the editors budget," quipped someone else. 

Another fan could not help but bring the infamous 'Game of Thrones' reference, writing, "Game of Thrones with Starbucks and Coke in the back."

"They had one job," penned someone else referring to the popular phrase.

Another fan added helpfully, "They could always claim he's part of the team that records for the game makers."

Nevertheless, someone else asked the dreaded question, "Who’s getting fired?"
