Squid Game: 8 Unanswered Questions We Need To Know
4. How Did In-Ho Become The Front Man?
Speaking of the all-round mystery that is the formidable Front Man, it's never really explained how Hwang In-ho came to become the all-seeing force that makes the Squid Game tick.
What is revealed along the way, during Jun-ho's investigation of The Front Man's quarters and the many files that house the information on the folks who have taken part and won the Squid Game since its creation in 1988, is that In-Ho was actually the victor of the 2015 iteration of the event.
This doesn't immediately explain the path that led him to the chilling mask, though, as we see Seong Gi-hun win the latest version of the bloodbath, only to leave with his money and the pain of what he'd witnessed come to pass. Did the creators see something in In-ho during his performance in the games which suggested he'd be the perfect candidate for a Front Man? Or did In-ho, similarly to Gi-hun, seek more answers about who was pulling the strings and find himself joining in on the fun once the cat was out of the bag?
The stage for a Season 2 delving into the police officer's brother's motivations and journey seems perfectly poised.
