Squid Game ― The Front Man

In Squid Game 2, Lee Byung-hun steps into a significantly expanded role as the enigmatic Front Man, moving beyond the mask to reveal multiple layers of his character.

Throughout the season, he plays not only the Front Man but also In-ho (his true identity) and Young-il, a participant in the Games who secretly manipulates Gi-hun’s efforts.

The Front Man’s Complex Motives

Lee reflects on the complexity of the character, noting that while the Front Man seems bent on breaking Gi-hun’s spirit, there are moments where his perspective falters.

His interactions with Gi-hun and the other participants show that he forms attachments, but his ultimate goal remains to make Gi-hun question his worldview.

This conflict culminates in the shocking moment where the Front Man kills Gi-hun’s friend, Jung-bae, solidifying his allegiance to the Games and setting the stage for the upcoming season.

The Character’s Inner Struggle

Lee discusses the internal conflict In-ho faces, revealing that while his character is emotionally dead inside due to past trauma, he still holds a small glimmer of hope for humanity.

This nuanced portrayal adds depth to the character, leaving open the possibility for change or redemption in future seasons.
