I'm sure many people, like me, have watched Squid Games, a very classic TV series. This very popular series tells the story of 456 contestants constantly competing in a series of children's games.
The characters in the play join this deadly game for their own sake, or their families. They want to be able to win enough money to change their lives. However, these games have fatal consequences. Although in the play, we mainly focus on the players in the game, but the staff in the play, that is, those who wear masks, are also very eye-catching. Their leader, for example, is a guy named Front Man, whose identity is unknown. The role is played by Lee Byung-hyun. In the play, the most puzzling scene is why he killed his brother Huang Junhao.
In addition to the characters in the game, the most striking plot of the show is the police officer Huang Junhao's investigation into his brother's disappearance. He sneaked to the island in search of his brother's whereabouts. However, during the investigation, he is chased and killed by Front Man and his men, and at the end of the confrontation, the boss of the mask people, Front Man, takes off his mask. Finally, the brothers met at this moment. However, to the surprise of all of us, they did not hug each other, on the contrary, the mask man boss shot the confused brother down the cliff. This scene caused many viewers to discuss continuously. Some people didn't even like the scene. But when you think about it, especially when you let go of the brothers' relationship and put them into the utopian world of the play, you will understand why this brother shot and took the younger brother with his own hands.
I have to say that the identity of the masked man in "Squid Game" is indeed difficult for some people to accept. It was clear that the Mask Man had made a choice in that moment of loyalty to his family and his job. He doesn't need much time to make a decision. The masked man's behavior stems from a sense of responsibility and honor for the game. For example, when doctors and other masked men illegally collect organs, he doesn't care about their illegal side hustle, but he feels that helping doctors gain a greater advantage than other players undermines the game's sense of equal opportunity and tarnishes the sanctity of the game. This is a very important principle for the masked man who does not hesitate to punish violators.
As for why the Mask Man is so loyal to the game, a big reason comes from his past participation and victory. As some people from desperate living circumstances, like all the contestants in the game, they all want to change their lives through this game. So he believes that he must provide an equal environment to help those who are as desperate as himself to achieve their fairness. It was difficult for his younger brother to understand the game, and he and his own brother were opposed. And let's not forget that the Masked Man went through scenes where he destroyed his partner, like a marble game. More than his brother, he had more reason to let go of his feelings and face his own affairs. So, the shooting of his brother was not only because of his indifference, but because he poured great enthusiasm into this important game for which he was responsible.
Of course, the masked man shot his brother, which was his sense of responsibility, but it obviously bothered him as well. Because if you look back at that scene, you will find that he has a meaningful glimpse. In fact, throughout the chase, the moment he removed his mask, he was no longer a simple villain. As for whether we can know more about this role? I think we'll only know about it until the second season of Squid Games.
