by

A contestant on Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2, Player 302, didn’t make it through the final challenge and is now sharing details about why she was removed from the competition for medical reasons. Be warned: spoilers follow…

Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 ended with a tense game of ‘Red Light, Green Light.’

Following Player 389’s surprising self-elimination, only four players remained: Player 017, Player 072, Player 183, and Dajah (Player 302). They faced off in a final round where only one could win.

Player 017 was eliminated first, then the villain, Player 183, leaving only two players. Unfortunately, Dajah injured her leg at the start of the final run, forcing her to drop out. This made Player 072, Perla, the winner.

Player 302 tore her Achilles tendon during Squid Game: The Challenge finale

After the final episode of Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 aired, player Dajah (Player 302) shared details about her injury and her current recovery progress during a question-and-answer session.

Dajah shared, ‘It’s funny, I’d actually never played Red Light, Green Light before, but I felt pretty sure I could handle it. Not in an arrogant way, just confident – like, ‘I can do this!’ I was trying to pace myself, not rush, but also not fall behind.’

She indicated Perla and explained, “That’s my main competitor. I had a feeling it was her. We were evenly matched, so I realized I needed to push myself harder to stay ahead.”

As I started to run, I heard a popping sound, like something rubber snapping. I immediately realized I’d run so hard and fast that I’d actually torn through the soles of my shoes! I tried to keep going, but my leg couldn’t support me – I’d torn my Achilles tendon.

I was talking to Dajah, and she pointed out her surgery scar. She explained that when she first started running again, her tendon actually snapped – she said it completely ripped in half and separated. It sounded really painful!

Honestly, things are still really tough. I’m still recovering and haven’t been able to go back to work since it happened. It’s been hard just getting through the day, and I’m really focusing on getting my strength and being able to move around normally again. It’s a slow process, but I’m trying my best.

Dajah doesn’t consider this a defeat. She emphasizes that she wasn’t simply beaten – she was medically disqualified, and she wants to make that clear.
