Squid game director Hwang Dong-Hyuk recently appeared at an online event. While talking about the second season, he said that it is not the right place to discuss it. “Gi-hun is a character whose humanity is shown through or exposed in certain situations,” He continued, “what Gi Hun has learned from the games and his experience in the first season, they will all be put to use in a more active manner.”
Further, he mentioned that the Front Man [Byung-hun] was also a past winner but became a Front Man. “It’s like Darth Vader. Some end up Jedi and some become Darth Vader, right?” he added.
