Netflix has officially announced that Hwang Jun-Ho will be returning for Squid Game season 2, fueling speculation about the show's biggest Front Man theory. The streaming platform provided an exciting update on the highly popular South Korean series, revealing the primary cast for the upcoming season during their Tudum 2023 event. While plot details remain a secret, it has been confirmed that all surviving main characters from season 1 will be making a comeback, alongside a fresh lineup of new players. Kang Ha-Neul, Yim Si-Wan, Park Sung-Hoon, and Yang Dong-Geun are among the new faces joining the cast. With no release date yet announced, the return of Jun-Ho hints at the possibility of an intriguing twist awaiting viewers.
In-Ho's Survival Proves Front Man Didn't Want To Kill Him
There were signs that Front Man had no intentions of killing Jun-Ho. Firstly, he immediately stopped his men from attacking Jun-Ho after he shot him. Secondly, he purposely revealed his face before shooting, indicating a desire for Jun-Ho's trust. Lastly, he deliberately aimed for Jun-Ho's shoulder, a less lethal target despite their close proximity.
Front Man Could Be The Key To Gi-Hun's Revenge In Squid Game Season 2
In-ho's desire to save his brother reveals that he is more complex than initially perceived as a pure antagonist. This adds an additional layer of intrigue to Front Man's backstory, raising anticipation for the exploration of it in Squid Game season 2. It is possible that if In-ho is merely a reluctant manager of the operation, his resentment towards the wealthy elite who control the deadly games may be brewing. However, he currently lacks the means to seek revenge or escape his predicament.
If Jun-ho manages to reach his older brother in Squid Game season 2, there is a chance he could persuade him to switch sides and dismantle the operation. This would intertwine their narrative with Seong Gi-Hun's newly formed plan to bring down the entire Squid Game organization, after enduring the hardships imposed on him and his friends. Despite being aware of Oh Il-Nam, Gi-Hun still requires more allies to successfully execute his plan. A person on the inside like Front Man would be the ideal candidate for this role.
