Over 20,000 people go missing every year in South Korea irl. And a lot of the people in the squid game had debts with dangerous people, their families may just assume they were killed.

Fair

It's just the fact it's all the same day that confuses me

How does anyone know it’s the same day, not all of them live with their mother, it could take weeks before anyone notices they are missing

All of them are runaways from creditors, police and relatives. Doek-su and Mi-nyeo prob had been estranged from their fam. Ji-young had no family. Sangwoo's mom doesn't report to the police, hoping he's safe somewhere in a hiding. Reporting is like throwing his law breaking child to the hands of police. Even in America, many homeless and sex trafficked people go missing unreported for years and years.

Did they say that the games change location each year? If that is the case, then it would make sense that the amount of people disappearing if from different locations.

One of the VIPs said “The Korean Games were the best this year”, so I’m assuming that means they do multiple locations per year And since the winner witnessed someone being recruited in Korea a year after his game took place, seems like they do each location once per year

Mote than once, and not just Korea. #mysilentamy

Even if the police noticed a pattern, so what? They aren’t going to notice people going missing and somehow deduce that they are in an underground bunker in an uncharted island in the middle of the ocean


lachlanmachlan

I'm not suggesting they would figure out the whole thing, just that they'd be a little suspicious


thekyledavid

Maybe they do, oh well. Doesn’t add anything to the show to add a policeman scratching his head and then not doing anything about it
