Hwang Dong-hyuk tells The Hollywood Reporter what's ahead for Gi-hun and the Front Man when the streamer's smash success returns with season three in 2025.

Squid Game season 2, which was released on Dec. 26, ended with a major cliffhanger. In the seventh and final episode, Gi-hun ( Lee Jung-jae) leads an uprising of the players, which results in the brutal murder of his best friend, Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), at the hands of the Squid Game supervisor: Front Man (Lee Byung-hun).

"I think that it's parallel to the political sphere that we see nowadays. It's so polarized, it's just two sides, and they can't come to a compromise."
