Lee Byung-hun speaks to The Hollywood Reporter about the enigmatic character who faces off with Gi-hun in season two (and season three, when the Netflix hit returns).

The layers come into play, though, when you start moving those pieces around the game board, and Squid Game does a brilliant job of that in its second season, when it puts the Front Man into the game as player 001—except the viewers are the only ones who know who he really is.

Squid Game season two picks up more or less where season one left off. Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) has won the games, and rather than take the money and start a new life with his new red-dyed haircut, he makes the risky decision to use his newfound resources to try to bring down the games once and for all.
