Squid Game Season 2 has taken the globe by storm, and fans are now debating a theory that makes a mindblowing claim. The viral theory assumes that the Front Man from Season 2 is actually the son of another treacherous character,

A wildly popular show like Netflix’s Squid Game is bound to have different theories about its storyline and characters.

The reasons that a lot of fans are theorizing that Il-nam could actually be In-ho's (the Front Man) father come from a few different scenes in season 1 and season 2. After season 2 was released in December 2024, fans started piecing this theory together based on what they knew about the two characters.

Squid Game co-stars Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun joined forces in a YouTube talk show. During their appearance, they played a game and it involved some questions about their hit Netflix series.

A great theory is that the games are actually a flashback to the Front Man’s which took place back in 2015, when In-ho won the games. The theory would actually make a lot of sense, as we’d get to see how the Front Man began his journey in the Squid Game. I guess we’ll just have to wait until season three to find out the truth…
