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).

Viewers are eager to know why the Front Man joined the perilous game as Player 001 in Squid Game Season 2. As the enigmatic creator of the games, he’s responsible for overseeing the masked men and the players from afar.

Squid Game—you know, the blood-spattered thriller about how capitalism pits desperate people against one another in a battle royale for the entertainment of depraved elites—has been a brand for as long as it has been a global sensation.

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.
