No, we don’t have any information right now to determine whether or not Jun-ho met his end for good. With the information he has and perhaps having more incentive than ever to do the same, Jun-ho is the perfect ally to team up with (keep in mind, the two met before Gi-hun went back for his second go at the Game) to bring everything down for good. Gi-hun - with his fiery new hair - seems determined to expose and bring down the Game as a whole during the finale’s last moments. Even if the show didn’t become a monster hit on Netflix, the ending hints that there’s more to this show than what we got in season one. Not only was his arc too big and too important to leave off for good on such a note, it simply wouldn’t make sense to abandon him for good should there be a season two. While he may have had to hide his handsome face behind a mask for most of that time, there’s no denying what we see through his eyes is of immense importance to the show. In fact, his side of the story is arguably one of the most important of the show, elevating it beyond the Game and its players, providing a lot of answers to a lot of questions that would simply go ignored otherwise.

Throughout the majority of the series, viewers had been following him as he infiltrated the organization, giving us a glimpse into what the lives of the henchmen are like, and why the Game exists at all. However, I don’t think this is a simple open-and-shut case.įor one, Jun-ho’s story arc had too much going for it for him to meet such an indefinite end. Every episode has seen scores of people killed through various means, and so it stands to reason Jun-ho was just one more casualty on this death island, his discoveries dying with him. Plus, we do have to remember what kind of show this is.

This is the last time we see Jun-ho in the series, and of course, such a finale to his story begs a pretty obvious question: Did that dude die? That cliff looked pretty high, so mixing that tumble with a gunshot wound doesn’t paint an optimistic picture for the detective.
