Lee Byung-hun plays Player 001 aka The Front Man in Squid Game season 2, reprising his role from a guest appearance in the previous run.

If the world doesn’t change, the game doesn’t end.” These haunting words from the Front Man ( Lee Byung-hun ) to Gi-hun ( Lee Jung-jae ) in Season 2 set the stage for an even darker and more intense story in Season 3.

When Squid Game ’s Gi-hun ( Lee Jung-jae) first joined the game in season 1, he unknowingly partnered up with the game’s creator, Oh Il-nam (O Yeong-su). It was such a fantastic twist that Squid Game writer Hwang Dong-hyuk remixed that betrayal in season 2 with yet another character pretending to join the game. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Here's your guide to the twists surrounding Player 001 in Squid Game Season 2, a role played by Lee Byung-hun.

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).
