Squid Game Season 3 might be packed with drama and jaw-dropping moments, but one scene in Episode 2 is getting roasted online—for all the wrong reasons.
The viral moment? A childbirth scene that many fans are calling “unrealistic,” “tone-deaf,” and even “lazy writing.” While the show is known for bending reality with its twisted games, this one might’ve pushed things too far.
What Happened in Episode 2?
So here’s the deal: Jo Yuri’s character, Kim Jun Hee, goes into labor during a challenge. Yup, while trying to survive one of the series’ classic high-stakes games, she suddenly gives birth—with zero medical help, barely any signs of pain, and in what looks like under five minutes.
Oh, and she’s totally fine afterward—like walking around, holding her newborn, and even seen jumping rope in the next scene. Seriously?

Social Media Reacts: “Even the Baby Knew When to Cry”
The internet wasted no time. One tweet mocking the scene has already crossed 7.5 million views, with users calling it “laughable” and “a total break from reality.”
“Her water breaks, she gives birth, and she’s chilling like it’s just another Tuesday? Come on.”
Fans Call Out the Director
A lot of the heat is aimed at the show’s male director, with critics saying the scene clearly lacked medical research—or any input from women.
There’s no visible amniotic fluid, no delivery of the placenta, and zero postpartum struggle—which, if you’ve ever spoken to literally any woman who’s given birth, you’d know is a huge red flag.
“It’s not just unrealistic—it’s insulting,” one viewer commented. “They didn’t even try to make it believable.”

Was It Symbolic or Just Bad Writing?
A few fans are defending the moment, suggesting it was a metaphor for endurance or rebirth. But for most people, the lack of realism totally clashed with the show’s usual gritty tone.
The fact that Jun Hee is seen skipping rope with her baby shortly after giving birth? That pretty much sealed the deal for angry viewers.
Could’ve Been a Powerful Scene… But Missed the Mark
Squid Game is famous for its social commentary, and this could’ve been a meaningful, emotional moment. But by brushing past the physical and emotional reality of childbirth, the show lost credibility—and, for some, even their loyalty.
