‘Squid Game’ Stars Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun Break Down ‘Fun’ Season 2 Twist for Gi-hun and The Front Man, Plus That Game-Changer Finale


'Squid Game' actors Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun break down The Front Man's [SPOILER] in season two and the small glimpse of his past self.

When the first season of the Korean drama released on Netflix in 2021, watching Player 001, the old man Oh Il-nam (Oh Yeong-su), be revealed as the creator of the games came as a total surprise for both Gi-hun and the viewer. While Season 2 ultimately doesn’t show his past — choosing instead to give details through dialogue about In-ho’s late wife who died of illness when they were destitute — Lee Byung-hun kept thinking about how his character entered the Squid Game the first time he played and, like Gi-hun after him, won the competition, and how his spirit has changed since. In the final episode, Gi-hun watches his close friend, Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), die at the hands of The Front Man, marking the end of any hope for the rising rebellion.
