As millions of fans tuned into a brand new season ofSquid Game, eagle-eyed viewers spotted an editing mistake during a pivotal moment in the finale.

In the last episode of the season, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and the remaining players stage an attack to put an end to the games once and for all. As a fight broke out in the players' dormitories, the group faked their deaths and lulled the pink guards sent to dispose of their bodies into a false sense of security.

During the battle, viewers saw a cameraman crouching in the corner for the shot. Though he could only be seen for a split second, fans quickly took to social media after noticing the editing blunder.

PEOPLE has reached out to Netflix for comment.

“Someone noticed the cameraman caught in this scene of episode 7, around 22 minutes and 38 seconds,” a user reacted on X (formerly Twitter), adding two crying emojis.

Another wrote, “Had to go watch myself, what a blunder” while someone else commented, “Squid game 2 Episode 7 production error. Look at one of the production team camera man.”

“Bro is definitely losing his job after that one,” a social media user added.

On Dec. 26, Netflix released the highly anticipated second season ofSquid Game— more than three years after season 1 premiered. Its return brought a new cast of characters competing against one another in the deadly games with a big cash prize andbrutal twists.

“Portraying Gi-hun in season one was a little more fun and enjoyable because he’s got that positive and cheerful energy and it’s less stressful to convey those characters,” Lee told PEOPLE of how his character evolved from the first installment. “And in season two, he was the other way around, and it actually made my heart quite heavy.”

“There are facets of Gi-hun you see in season one, and I wanted to show that in season two as well,” he continued. “But because he’s such a changed person in season two, it wasn’t easy for me to do that. So I pondered on how I can do that.”
