The ending of the squid game reunites Sung Ki-hoon and Wu Yi-nan, but they meet again on the 7th floor of the building with hidden meaning.
The ending of the squid game reunited Ji Hoon and a man, but that's why they met on the 7th floor of the Sky Building. Although there are many characters in the Squid game, one of the key relationships throughout the show is the relationship between Seong Gi-hun aka Player 456 and Oh Il-nam aka Player 001. Their connection helps to show that Gi-hun is kind in doing anything that he can protect the old man before he finally deceives him in a pinball game. Although this seems to be the last time they have been together, the ending of "Game of Squid" surprised Inan's status and participation in this deadly game.
Long after Gi-hun won the Squid Game and earned 45.6 billion won, he received another message from the team behind the game. This took him to the 7th floor of a building and found that Il-nam was still alive. Not only did the old man not die after the marbles, but Il-nam also revealed that he was one of the architects behind the whole incident. Part of this reunion happened to reveal the truth about his life to Ji Hoon, but the old man has another goal. He wants to play the final match with Ki-hun, showing that Ki-hun’s belief in human nature is unrealistic. While they waited to see if anyone would help the cold homeless, the place where Kihun and Ilnam met and observed has a certain meaning.

Ki-hoon was told to go to the 7th floor of the Sky Building. This is the first time he has seen a man since the Olympics. This building is not an important location for both of them, but the floor is an ingenious sign of the story of the squid game. Ki-hoon knows to go to the 7th floor at this location, but all the elevator buttons except 7 have been removed. This is a small detail that may seem irrelevant at first glance, but they met on the 7th floor for a good reason, not the 6th, 8th or any other. This is not because it gives them the best understanding of homeless people. Ki-hoon participated in six games in the squid competition and survived, so Il-nam took him to the 7th floor and played the seventh surprising final game, using his cunning to tease Ki-hoon’s participation. The next game.
Although the fate of the homeless is not an official part of the Squid game, it is still the seventh "played" by Ki Hoon, albeit an unofficial game. He was forced to watch from the 7th floor, hoping that someone could help the homeless. This happened after Kihun participated in the first six games of Squid Game. For most of them, Il-nam is by his side, so the seventh bet continues the tradition. It also illustrates the twisted fun that Il-nam has in these games and sows tiny seeds for what is waiting. The best example is the wall illustration of the Squid Game contestant's room, showing all six games Gi-hun played and the order in which they happened. Bringing Ki Hoon to the 7th floor is just Il-nam's latest way to cleverly tease what is about to happen.
A creative decision like this is just an example of the attention to detail in Squid Game. Although not all viewers can see these details the first time they watch, they provide fans with further reasons to continue watching. It is also worth noting that the meeting of Gi-hun and Il-nam on the 7th floor seems to directly set a possible story for the second season of Squid Game. If it does happen, then Gi-hun will spend much more time playing the game than Il-nam originally intended or the alternative conclusion he tried to provide.
