I did a little bit of the injured frontman breaking into recruiter's apartment story I mentioned here. Sneak peek of what's to come, I guess? I don't know if I want to make them an actual ship or just borderline reluctant "friendship"... (there's a bit of violence and blood below, be warned and lots of whump Inho later on)

Lee Byung-hun says In-ho feels "a slight wavering of heart" because of Gi-hun. And then Lee Jung-jae says Gi-hun "is shaken up" by Front Man/In-ho's humanity?
I AM GOING INSANE

Beb the most exposure I have to squid game is from you so sorry if this is a weird question: Would Gi-hun sort of get along with Henry Creel and/Eddie Munson? Like have a shared understanding of what being forced to do things you don't want to is like? What about In-ho? Either of them?
Okay I need to talk about how alike In-ho and Henry are!




So I’m not sure if you know, but in Squid Game season 2, In-ho’s number is 001. So both him and Henry are 001.
But besides the number, they just have so much in common that it’s insane.
Both In-ho and Henry were wronged in their earlier lives by the people who were more powerful than them — while Henry was seen as “a monster” due to his differences and locked away in the lab where he then endured abuse and torture ever since he was a literal child, In-ho was wrongly accused of bribery by the higher ups when he was a cop, which led to him losing his job and everything he’d dedicated his youth to.
But it’s not just a job that he lost, so In-ho’s pregnant wife was terminally ill — she needed a surgery in order to save her life and their unborn child. In-ho couldn’t afford the surgery, that’s when his friend lended him the money that was then seen as bribery. Cue he lost his job/his source of income.
Desperate to get enough money to save his family, In-ho joined the game (Squid Game) in 2015, canon timeline. Out of 456 Players, only one could survive and walk out with 45.6 billion won.
In-ho won, having seen and gone through the worst of human nature during his time in the game (people killing each other, doing whatever it took in order to survive), but by the time he returned home with the prize money that would save his wife’s life, it was already too late. She and the unborn child died. While the people who got him fired, police who actually are corrupt, remain untouched and in power.
Cue In-ho’s belief that people are bad, people are greedy. From his own words, people are trash.
Re: Henry’s monologue: ❝You see, humans are a unique type of pest, multiplying and poisoning our world all while enforcing a structure of their own. A deeply unnatural structure. Where others saw order, I saw a straitjacket. A cruel oppressive world dictated by made-up rules. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades. Each life a faded, lesser copy of the one before. Wake up, eat, work, sleep, reproduce and die. Everyone is just waiting. Waiting for it all to be over. All while performing in a silly, terrible play, day after day. I could not do that. I could not close off my mind and join in the madness. I could not pretend.❞
So Henry and In-ho share the same beliefs, same ideology.
Not only are they both victims who choose to respond to the world that has wronged them with violence, both of them also tried to help others in their shoes.
With Henry, he tried to help Eleven escape the lab, help her live the life that was robbed from him, a good life he could no longer have. In doing so, he was willing to let her leave him behind. As long as she got to live a good life and be happy, even if it meant he remained a prisoner of the lab and Doctor Brenner.
Eleven rejected him and his help. (She technically didn't, but things still went downhill; season 4 episode 7.)
Henry becomes Vecna, Eleven ends up as his enemy because she doesn’t see things the way Henry does, doesn’t agree with the way Henry responds to pain and trauma with violence and deaths of the innocent. Eleven doesn’t think people are bad.
With In-ho, he tried to urge Gi-hun into getting on that plane and going back to his daughter’s life. Tried urging Gi-hun to live the life that was robbed from In-ho, a good life In-ho could no longer have (a fatherhood In-ho could never experience), telling Gi-hun not to look back. And in doing so, In-ho was willing to let Gi-hun leave the game — leave him — behind. As long as Gi-hun got to live a good life and be happy, even if it meant In-ho remained a prisoner of the game and the VIPs.
Gi-hun turned down In-ho's advice (In-ho's attempt to help).
In-ho becomes the Front Man, Gi-hun ends up as his enemy because Gi-hun doesn’t see things the way In-ho does, doesn’t agree with the way In-ho responds to pain and trauma with violence and deaths of the innocent. Gi-hun doesn’t think people are bad.
Both In-ho’s and Henry’s stories are tragic. I’m not denying that they both have done terrible things, but their actions still do not erase the fact they are victims of the people who are more powerful than them. Henry’s a victim of the lab and Doctor Brenner, while In-ho’s a victim of the game, the VIPs and the entire system.
Thus both of them see the world and people the same way, from their own trauma, people are bad and the world is rotten.
Then you have Gi-hun and Eddie.


These two are, on the other hand, humans equivalent of Golden Retrievers.
Gi-hun isn’t as happy and cheerful as he used to be in the past, unfortunately, it’s understandable — considering everything Gi-hun went through, having lost his daughter, mother, best friend, childhood friend and everything. But before the game, Gi-hun was just this happy little dude, he was kind (he still is) and he always saw the best in people, always smiling even if life was unkind to him. Just like Eddie.
Another thing Gi-hun and Eddie have in common is that people saw them as “losers”. Eddie fell behind in school while Gi-hun was addicted to gambling. They didn’t make the best life choices, but regardless they didn’t care what people thought about them, didn’t care about social expectations, and they were happy. Literally too good for this world.
I could see Gi-hun get along and be best buddies with Eddie. While In-ho and Henry should either go see a therapist together or just talk about their shared trauma, issues and feelings.

Gi-hun, after the whole cat incident and with In-ho back to normal, changed his phone contact from Hwang In-ho to "Cat Momma" (and Jun-ho's from Hwang Jun-ho to "Kitten" because it made sense to him). It amuses Gi-hun but most importantly he did it because it really pisses In-ho off and he knows it.
Jun-ho is aware of this little change but unlike his brother, he really doesn't care.
In-ho calling Gi-hun, who's sit right next to him, just to confirm that indeed he hasn't changed his new stupid contact yet like he told him to do: "I told you to change my contact back to my actual name."
Gi-hun, trying his best to put a serious face: "I know."
In-ho: "..."
Gi-hun: "..."
In-ho: "Change it back."
Gi-hun: "No."


Jun-ho secretly films the whole thing

Imagine Jun-ho's and Gi-hun's sad kicked-puppy face they make when In-ho accidentally hisses at them (while all of them being humans again) 💔 And it takes them a few seconds to realize what they just did and their reactions lmaooo
In-ho always denies and says that he did not hiss at them (he always did in fact hiss whenever he was slightly annoyed, which was all the time).
