Meanwhile, Frontman (Lee Byung-hun), who infiltrated the games in Season 2 as a participant, returns to his role as the unfeeling, calculating mastermind behind the deadly competition, setting the stage for his face-off with Gi-hun.Speaking at a press conference in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Lee Byung-hun previewed the evolving dynamic between the two characters in the final chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Gi-hun falls into a state of deep helplessness after witnessing his closest friend being killed by the Frontman. But he regains his resolve, returning to his original intention to dismantle the entire system while still holding onto his belief in humanity. With this determination, he starts planning again. Seeing Gi-hun\u2019s renewed resolve, the Frontman also begins devising new plans,&#8221; Lee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If we consider Seasons 2 and 3 as telling one continuous story, Season 3 will deliver the climax and conclusion, the final act of the narrative. From a dramatic standpoint, it will inevitably feel very intense. In a sense, this will be the story where the full-fledged confrontation between the Frontman and Gi-hun truly unfolds,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>source : <a href=\"https:\/\/m.koreaherald.com\/article\/10504972\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/m.koreaherald.com\/article\/10504972\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/m.koreaherald.com\/article\/10504972<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSquid Game\u201d is coming to an end with its third and final season, set to premiere June 27 on Netflix.
