Kang Sae Byeok (Jung Ho Yeon) from Squid Game Season 1 also makes a cameo in the third instalment. Song Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) imagines her stopping him from killing everybody to save Kim Jun Hee's (Jo Yu Ri) baby.

Besides the Korean actors, the series also featured a notable cameo from a prominent Hollywood figure.
Cate Blanchett's cameo in Squid Game Season 3 ending
