Summary

  • Kai Cenat confirmed he played Guard 44 in Squid Game Season 2, teasing a potential return in Season 3.
  • Fans speculated about Cenat’s role after a viral TikTok video, but Season 2 only featured Guard 11.
  • Cenat likely trolled fans by claiming his role, as there were no Western celebrities in Squid Game.

Discussions surrounding the second season of Squid Game on Netflix have sparked once more, with particular focus on the character portraying one of the masked guards.

The Netflix series Squid Game introduces a wide range of characters, such as the 456 participants competing in a lethal contest for monetary rewards, the masked security personnel who are identified by symbols on their masks – circles for those performing basic tasks, triangles for armed enforcers, and squares for supervisors managing operations – and the Front Man, who dons a black mask and provides orders to the masked guards. With multiple guards appearing in the show, viewers are intrigued to discover the true identity of Guard #44, as it is rumored that this character was played by a well-known streamer and YouTuber.

Kai Cenat, a well-known American streamer, YouTuber, and influencer, cleared up speculation about his involvement in “Squid Game” Season 2. During a live session with his fans, he confirmed that he had been cast in the popular Korean TV series based on survival games. While conversing online, Cenat casually mentioned, “I thought I already told you all,” referring to his role. He also provided some information about his character and hinted that he might reappear in Season 3, stating, “Apparently, not everyone knew? I thought I already told you all. Yes, I was Guard #44, the one getting pushed off the steps. I wasn’t shot.” This announcement sparked various reactions, with many humorously suggesting Cenat might have been the short guard. Some even joked about having to rewatch the series because they hadn’t spotted him before.

The buzz about Cenat potentially playing Guard 44 emerged following a popular TikTok video. This clip displayed Google’s search results for “Squid Game cast,” surprisingly listing him alongside Gong Yoo as The Recruiter and Jo Yu-ri, who plays Player 222 Kim Jun-hee. It is essential to mention that the guards in the game are not numbered like the players; instead, they are identified by the symbols on their masks. Nevertheless, it’s interesting to note that Season 2 introduces Guard 11 Kang No-eul (Park Gyu-young), a character from North Korea who was once a soldier and a defector participating in the game to earn money for reuniting with her daughter.

It seems that Cenat’s recent “casting” announcement for Squid Game Season 2 may have been a joke or prank. This assumption arises from the following reasons:

1. Cenat is known to be a fan of the show, often streaming and playing its games on platforms like Roblox. Evidence of his enjoyment can be found across various social media channels.
2. The video showing him as part of the cast for Season 2 appears to have been manipulated or doctored, as no current search results show this casting.
3. While Guard 11 was present in Squid Game Season 1, there is no mention or explicit appearance of Guard 44 (the character Cenat was rumored to play) in Season 2. This suggests that his inclusion may not be accurate.

Thirdly, it’s worth noting that “Squid Game” was produced in South Korea and did not include any Western celebrities such as Cenat. This suggests that Cenat may have been joking about his role in the series as Guard 44, since there’s no reason for him to travel all the way to Asia only to be unseen in the final cut. Instead, Guard 11 and Gyu-young, who has taken off her masks multiple times, have received significant screen time. Moreover, this was the first time the show delved into the guards’ backstory, which further supports the idea that Cenat did not appear in the series.

Squid Game Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
