Squid Game fans unveil the Front Man’s ‘true intentions’ with easily missed clue

Squid Game season two could be watched with an entirely new perspective if you missed this sneaky detail during your first watch. Netflix’s smash-hit South Korean drama returned on Boxing Day after an agonising three year wait and saw Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) attempt to infiltrate the sadistic tournament.
His plan seems to have ended in disaster, however, as all hope seemed lost for Gi-hun and several other rebels in their uprising at the end of the tension-filled season finale. The scheme was also doomed from the off, though, as viewers soon discovered the previous games’ Front Man, Hwang In-ho (Lee Byung-hun) was secretly taking part.
While many fans may have been convinced by his story and seemingly genuine reactions to succeeding in the trials, a crucial detail has revealed he intended to sabotage Gi-hun’s game from the off. His most obvious obstruction was in the six-legged pentathlon, where In-ho (calling himself Oh Young-il) tries and fails to spin a spinning top several times, giving the group just seconds to make it to the finish line.
This clue was spotted by a TikTok user who noticed that the Front Man was left-handed throughout the first season, including drinking whiskey and shooting his police officer brother Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) in the finale with his left hand. However, when it came to the pentathlon, In-ho uses his right hand to throw the spinner to no success.
