By the end of season two, our returning hero Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) had failed his mission to end the game from the inside. First, the pink guards discovered and disposed of his dental tracking device, which made it increasingly difficult for former detective Hwang Jun-ho (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tlGbghYFXrs\" target=\"_blank\">Wi Ha-jun<\/a>) to complete his rescue mission.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"external-link-embed--inline\"><a attributes=\"[object Object]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.glamour.com\/story\/squid-game-2-the-ending-of-that-bonkers-season-finale-explained\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Squid Game 2: Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun \" src=\"https:\/\/media.glamour.com\/photos\/676da067437ab71e2a3b9a95\/1:1\/w_775%2Cc_limit\/Squidgame_Unit_207_N044192%2520(1).jpg\"  ><\/picture><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Even worse, Gi-hun could not convince his fellow players to vote to leave the games despite the bloodshed, leaving our hero with only one more option. In the final episode of season two, Gi-hun and a group of brave players stage a rebellion against the pink guards, stealing their machine guns and setting course for the control room. Unfortunately, Gi-hun did not realize the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) had traded his mask for a green tracksuit, masquerading as one of Gi-hun\u2019s strongest allies in the games, Player 001.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, with the rebels overpowered and out of bullets, the Front Man returned to his post and murdered Gi-hun\u2019s childhood friend and closest ally, Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan). \u201cPlayer 456, did you have fun playing the hero?\u201d the Front Man asked Gi-hun from behind his mask. \u201cLook at the consequences of your little hero game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So when and how will the rest of those consequences play out?
