Jo Yuri’s Squid Game Season 3 childbirth scene is sparking massive backlash.
The episode 2 scene shows Player 222 (Jo Yuri) giving birth mid-game in just five minutes. Viewers call it completely unrealistic and ridiculous.
One viral tweet with 7.5M views slammed the scene:
“How actually ridiculous is Squid Game? Like, who can give birth to a whole child in five minutes? (Not a metaphor—her water broke in the middle of a life-or-death game and she literally popped the baby out, just like that).”

Fans say the scene “showed how little the male director knows about women.” Criticism flooded in about unrealistic pacing, missing medical details, and the character walking immediately after birth.
Comments include:
“I looked up the male director and it seems like he’s unmarried… LOL. Still, there were tons of production staff involved—seeing a result like this just makes me think he really doesn’t listen to anyone.”
“Seriously. This scene killed the whole series for me… What were they even trying to do?”
“The birth scene was already ridiculous, but her jumping rope while holding a newborn? That was insane LOL.”
“The story completely fell apart starting from the birth scene. Zero logic.”
“Obviously the director has never given birth, but did he not even do basic research? That’s what it felt like.”
The baby then becomes the final winner of the brutal game — an ending some call a “misogynistic pro-life agenda.”
Squid Game Season 3 premiered June 27, 2025 on Netflix and is facing fierce debate over this controversial plot twist. Fans report losing interest and stopping the series after the contentious childbirth scene.
