Summary
He decided to take part in the games to satisfy the dark curiosity that grew inside him concerning everything related to player 456. In-ho wanted a front-row ticket to Gi-hun's demise, watching as he failed to save the people who cared about nothing but the money; watching as his good-natured faith crumbled and withered until Gi-hun's feelings for humanity were as skeptical as his.
The Frontman just did not expect things to take such a brutal turn against Gi-hun. When a few dissatisfied players turn on him after believing, wrongly, that Gi-hun could give them an advantage, In-ho is confronted with Gi-hun's most vulnerable aspect. Against everything In-ho has planned for the game, he finds himself getting lost in the character he created—Young-il, the only person who seems able to get through to Gi-hun and mend his broken spirit.- Language:

Summary
Hwang In-ho is a broadcast jockey - a mask-wearing, alias-hiding broadcast jockey known as FRNT.
His content? Highly explicit. Addictive. The kind of thing you don't just stumble across. But—somehow—that's exactly what Seong Gi-hun manages to do. And even amidst his confusion, a thought begins to form. A dangerous thought. What if—
Gi-hun's life is unraveling. His debt is bad, his working situation worse, and his gambling addiction helping neither. He's desperately in need of money—any money—and... having come across the man’s videos once or twice—he reaches out to become part of his shows. Maybe it's stupid. Maybe it's reckless. But it's a shot.
Anything for money, really.
Even having seen the man before, Hwang In-ho is—overwhelming. Intoxicating, even. More than Gi-hun could've bargained for.
As Gi-hun and this mysterious, alluring stranger grow more and more tangled together, Gi-hun meets a man on the outside.
A quiet, guarded man. A man with secrets of his own. A man named Young-il.

Summary
Gi-hun’s rebellion failed. Now imprisoned, he’s nothing more than a pawn in a game he thought he could escape. The Front Man has plans for him, and he’s not content with just breaking Gi-hun physically - he wants to remake him, reshape him into a tool of the system. The pull of surrender becomes harder to resist with each passing moment, as the Front Man’s dark brand of affection worms its way under Gi-hun’s skin.
But a mysterious soldier, whose presence feels eerily familiar, watches from the shadows, unsettling Gi-hun with memories he can’t quite reach and dredging up a past that threatens to shatter what little sanity he has left.
Or:
Gi-hun is torn between the Front Man’s suffocating grip and a ghost from his past - one who may be the key to his salvation or his destruction.
Canon divergence post–Season 2.
