Squid Game 2 Episode 3 Ends With Front Man as Player 001

In episode 3 of Squid Game season 2, we see that the players were made to play Red Light Green Light once again but Gi-Hun managed to save a lot of players because of his experience. When they got back to their barrack, Gi-hun called for a vote to quit the game since if a majority of players decided to quit, the game would end.

The voting begins and the players start to take a vote but even after Gi-Hun’s warnings, people are willing to continue playing the game and by the time the final vote comes in, there is a draw among people who want to continue and the people who want to quit the game.

This is when player 001 walks to give his vote and sadly, presses the “O” button making the majority who wants to play win the vote. As he turns around, it is revealed that player 001 in Squid Game 2 is none other than the Frontman we saw in Squid Game Season 1.

Front Man or Hwan In-Ho is the step-brother of Hwang Jun-Ho, the cop. In Squid Game Season 1 ending, it was shown that he was the one who shot Jun-Ho who now knows the identity of the Front Man.

It is pretty evident that he has joined the game so that he can manipulate the votes of the players and ensure that the game does not end since Gi-hun has managed to convince a lot of players to quit the game. Now all that’s left to see is if this evil strategy of the Frontman works or not. So stay tuned for further updates!
