Summary
By day, Gihun sits in an office. By night, he sits by the Steinway in one of Gangnam's most famous jazz bars and loses himself in the music, which has always been his first love. He spends the late hours of the evening sitting by the well-worn keys, letting his music speak to anyone who cares enough to listen.
Inho's life seems polished on the outside; he’s wealthy, smart and CEO of the company he inherited from his late father. However, hidden behind the mask of composure is a man who is broken, fragile and weak. Since his wife's death in 2018, he's locked every door leading to his heart, fearing he'll lose anyone who gets too close.
Then one night, on a whim, Inho steps back into the bar she once loved, and hears Gihun play. It's comforting, reassuring and warm all at once. It hits something buried deep, something he thought he'd shut away for good. And for the first time in years, Inho thinks he could feel again.

Summary
After winning the Squid Games, Gihun struggles to cope with the loss of Sangwoo. He feels the hours slipping through his fingers like sand, yet he can do nothing except drink the days away at a bar. A stranger sits next to him at said bar and silently drinks with him, a stranger who somehow knows his name and wants to hear what he's thinking about. So Gihun tells him. And it's the worst mistake he's made.

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.
