Season 3's Narrative Continuation Follows The Season 2 Cliffhanger Featuring Gi-hun And The Front Man
The shows third season will move forward after a huge revolt during season 2 finale that resulted in multiple deaths and other dramatic turns showing viewers that even with resistance things dont always go the best way and can ultimately end in chaos. Season 2 was also made emotionally significant with death of Park Jung-bae which occurred towards the end of season adding weight to the already intense tone from the show. Director Hwang stated the events in the story were strategically placed to effectively conclude the season and add dramatic effects. Hwang’s plan was to make viewers sad and shocked regarding Jung-bae whose character played such pivotal role in main character Gi-hun ’s character development during entire show. The death of Jung-bae specifically served as a tool for moving the story forward by showcasing even trusted allies might not last throughout the competition.
The enigmatic Front Man appeared to fake his character’s death in previous seasons as Player 001 before retaking his position from earlier episodes where he maintained control from his shadowy cloak position. Player 001 also known as Young-il created trust in Gi-hun group only to have that trust completely be betrayed showing a significant shift in character interactions during episodes. By the season finale Gi-hun's character is oblivious to Front Man's betrayal showing his trusting persona in full effect and it was his nature of blaming self for every tragedy rather than identifying the betrayal. Episode 7 features a mid-credits sequence demonstrating that the game carries on in spite of capture of Gi-hun using the presence of two giant dolls along with a " red light green light " format demonstrating the show's commitment to consistency in its games during Squid Game scenarios. The Front Man's return to the shadowy leadership shows the central idea that series’ events is a clash between Gi-hun's world versus Front Man's ideals.
