Okay so, picture this: You’re watching the final season of Squid Game, emotionally damaged, eating hot Cheetos at 3am, and BAM—suddenly there’s a baby. A weirdly… too perfect baby. Like, Gerber-commercial-meets-Terminator vibes.
Well, kids, buckle your seatbelts and yeet your pacifiers because that baby? That adorable little plot twist? NOT. EVEN. REAL.
Turns out, Player 222 a.k.a. robo-baby was not a fresh-out-the-womb human child at all. It was a literal animatronic newborn robot, custom built for Netflix’s chaos-fueled Hunger Games-on-crack show. ICONIC.
Lee Jung-jae (yes, Daddy 456 himself) spilled the robo-beans in an interview and basically confirmed that while the baby gave Oscar-worthy wiggle energy, it was actually a silicon-coded bundle of ones and zeroes. 🤯
“When I read the script, I was shooketh,” said Lee, probably while sipping espresso and staring dramatically into the void. “The baby had facial expressions. It wiggled. It had realistic weight.” Bruh. What is this—Build-a-Baby Workshop?
So yeah, what you thought was a tiny human reacting to a dystopian bloodbath was actually Skynet’s cutest employee. Congratulations, we’ve officially crossed into the uncanny valley and I’m not climbing out.
Meanwhile, that robot baby probably has better acting gigs than most of us. 🙃
