Lee Byung-hun, one of the most celebrated Korean actors, emerged as the breakthrough character of the Front Man in Squid Game Season 3.

The Korean star breaks down the psyche of his enigmatic character, the meaning behind the show’s final scenes and why he’d return for a spinoff.

One of the most intriguing scenes shows the Front Man spotting a recruiter, played by Cate Blanchett, on the streets of Los Angeles. Lee Byung-hun says the character is shocked, realising the Games continue elsewhere. “He feels bitterness, knowing this cycle never ends,” Lee notes.
