-Gi hun decide to become the players of a mysterious survival game that has a whopping 40-million-dollar prize at stake. Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, seems defeated by life after being fired from his job. He decides to join the survival game to win prize money. Sang-woo, played by Park Hae-soo, is Gi-hunโs childhood friend and he also joins the game as he gets in trouble at work despite all the hard work he has done to be where he is at now.
The literal translation of Round Sixโs Korean title is โSquid Gameโ (์ค์ง์ด ๊ฒ์), which is the street game Gi-hun and Sang-woo played together when they were young. Itโs quite a physical game that only ends when thereโs a final winner, much like the survival game they play now. Itโs named as such because players are to draw different geometric shapes on the ground, which, as a whole, look like a squid.
