In the seventh episode, Gi-hun witnesses the brutal murder of his friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) perpetrated by none other than the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun).
Despite all this, Gi-hun still has no idea that the Front Man is actually Young-il, the player he trusted in the new round of games. It’s a crushing betrayal that sets the stage for what’s to come.
