In Squid Game Season 2, not only does the Front Man infiltrate the latest competition, but a hidden detail in the first chapter reveals how he intentionally sabotaged the Six-Legged Pentathlon.
Among the challenges presented in Squid Game, the Six-Legged Pentathlon is notably difficult, ranking second only to the Glass Bridge from Season 1. Given that Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456, is the lead character, viewers expected his team to survive. However, the tension remained high, especially with the Front Man, disguised as Player 001, participating alongside them.
A subtle yet significant detail from Season 1 has surfaced, shedding light on why Front Man struggled with the spinning top challenge.
In the first chapter of Squid Game, when Front Man reveals his identity as In-ho to his brother Jun-ho, he extends his left hand before shooting him. However, during the Six-Legged Pentathlon, he uses his right hand to manipulate the string around the spinning top.
Given that every detail in Squid Game is deliberate, it appears that Front Man was intentionally using his non-dominant hand during the Season 2 challenge, possibly to increase the pressure on Gi-hun. Despite their team initially breezing through the mini-games, Front Man’s struggle meant they crossed the finish line at the very last moment.
An observant fan highlighted this hidden detail, sharing side-by-side clips of the two moments with the comment, “Bro thought we wouldn’t notice.” The TikTok was subsequently posted on the Squid Game subreddit, captioned, “Small little detail that proved 001/Front Man was intentionally messing up the top spinning challenge in game two.”
Responses from viewers noted the intentionality behind Front Man's actions, with one saying, “He’s funny for that honestly. Just wanted to see them all sweat for fun.” Another added, “I think every single thing that he did or that happened to him in the games was 100% intentional.”
Some fans questioned the motivation behind his sabotage, to which another user suggested that while it could have disrupted the overall plan, it allowed for the possibility of keeping both 001 and 456 alive while still letting the game continue.
Squid Game Seasons 1 and 2 are currently streaming on Netflix, with Season 3 set to premiere in 2025. While you wait, check out our predictions for who might die in Season 3 and what could unfold in the final chapter.
