Squid Game Season 3: What to expect

Season 3 will continue the story of Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) as he seeks to take down the Front Man and uncover his true identity. In Season 2, Gi-hun returns to the deadly games with a new focus - taking down his adversary rather than pursuing the fortune that awaits the winner. Unbeknownst to him, the Front Man (played by Lee Byung-hun) is secretly posing as Player 001 under the alias Young-il. The bond between Gi-hun and Young-il grows, but it is shattered when Young-il resumes his role as the Front Man and kills Gi-hun’s close ally, Park Jung-bae.
