Summary
“In a city of nearly ten million, the chances of seeing someone again—someone you didn’t plan to see—are statistically insignificant. Roughly 1 x 10-12, if you’re being generous. However, emotions don’t care about probability, as hearts have always been horrible at math."
Bumping into someone once is a coincidence. Twice? Curious. But three times, especially in a city as big as Seoul, starts to feel like fate…or something dangerously close to it.
After crossing paths with the same mysterious man on more than one occasion, Seong Gi-hun can’t shake the feeling that the universe is working in mysterious ways. The stranger says little, wears a ring, and offers no name—but somehow takes up more space in his thoughts than anyone who ever stayed.
So, he does what any writer with a half-broken heart and a tight deadline would do:
He turns him into a story.
Through weekly entries in his newspaper column, Han River Hearts, Gi-hun documents each fleeting encounter, each tangled emotion, hoping that somewhere out there in Seoul, a certain “Mr. Big” is reading.

Summary
The Front Man watches intently as two pink soldiers carry Gi-hun down the hall, heading back to staff dorms. Gi-hun seems half-aware, his body quaking from the beating he took. The former player is insistent on walking by himself despite how badly each step seems to hurt.
In-ho finds Seong Gi-hun fascinating. It was clear Gi-hun wanted to become a player again so that he might be able to save the others and end the games once and for all - which is exactly why the In-ho made him a soldier instead. He wanted to watch Gi-hun fight against his control and struggle to save even a single life as a guard. Maybe that way he would finally learn that this place is inevitable.
That is also one of the reasons In-ho decided to go undercover as another soldier, so he might get closer to Gi-hun and understand him better - even if only to use that against him.Regardless, through physical and emotional torture, the Front Man would finally break Player 456.
It was only a matter of time.OR: Squid Game 2, but the Front Man/Hwang In-ho tries to break Gi-hun by making him a soldier instead of a player.

Gihun’s life revolves around making everything perfect for Sangwoo - his home, his meals, even his silence. But perfection comes at a price, and Gihun’s quiet longing for something more feels like a betrayal he can't admit. When an unexpected opportunity at Young Il Electronics draws him into the orbit of CEO Hwang Inho, Gihun begins to glimpse a different kind of attention - soft-spoken, calculated, and dangerously enticing.
