A Dalgona, also called a Honeycomb, is a candy that has been popular in South Korea for decades. A challenge associated with the candy involves perfectly carving out the shape in the candy.

The candies are featured in Sugar Honeycombs, the second game in the 33^rd Squid Game, which involved a deadly version of the aforementioned challenge. It appears in Season 2 in Gi-hun’s nightmare as a difficult version of the triangle shape in Six Legs.

Season One

Dalgonas appear in the 33^rd Squid Game in The Man with the Umbrella during the second game. Players had to chose between four shapes: circle, triangle, star, and umbrella, without knowing the game.

Cho Sang-woo who recognized the shapes and remembered what Kang Sae-byeok told him about seeing them heating sugar, and Byeong-gi, who was told about the next game, both recognized the game.

Circle

Triangle

Star

Umbrella

Season Two

The triangle shape seen in Gi-hun's nightmare in Season 2.

A dalgona once again appears in Seong Gi-hun's dream sequence. All the players picked the triangle thinking it was the easiest, only to find out that it is the most complex shape ever as soon as Gi-hun removes the lid. The players start to panic and blame Gi-hun for choosing the shape, saying that he was going to kill them all. Gi-hun wakes up afterwards. Still thinking the second game might be dalgona to Gi-hun's surprise, the second game is called "Six-Legged Pentathlon".

This triangle is dubbed by the Squid Game community as the "Mona Lisa" due to it's complexity.[1]
