‘Squid Game’ Creator Breaks Down ‘Heavy’ Season 2 Finale Death, Mid-Credits Scene Clues and When Season 3 Is Coming
Game over -- for now. "Squid Game" Season 2 concluded its seventh and final episode with the brutal murder of a key character ahead of Season 3.
While the death on its own is shocking and gutting and horrifying, it’s made all the more gruesome for the viewer than Gi-hun because, unlike our hero, the audience knows The Front Man’s true identity: he’s In-ho, a previous winner of the Squid Game who now works as the head guard. In-ho has spent this game posing as Player 001 (going by the name Young-il) and growing close to Gi-hun and Jung-bae to gain their trust and pretend to be part of their cause and rebellion, only to don his Front Man mask again in the end and kill Jung-bae to punish Gi-hun. And when you think about Gi-hun’s journey, I thought that that was an adequate moment to put a stop and give him a little bit of closure along that long story arc.
