The second season of Squid Game had fans buzzing, with one of the standout moments being Front Man (Hwang In-Ho) entering the game, befriending Player 456 (Seong Gi-Hun), earning his trust, and ultimately betraying him without revealing his true identity. While the tense dynamic between these characters took center stage, fans latched onto the camaraderie between In-Ho and Gi-Hun, sparking discussions about a deeper connection—and even “BL vibes” (Boy Love).
Lee Byung-Hun Reacts to BL Speculations
Actor Lee Byung-Hun, who plays Front Man, recently addressed these fan theories and edits in an interview with Star News. Laughing off the speculation, he admitted he initially misunderstood the term “BL.”
“I also watch YouTube, and I saw Squid Game videos with ‘BL’ written in large letters related to me. At first, I didn’t know what that meant, and I thought it was a mistake, like referring to BH (short for Byung Hun, my management company). Or maybe it was referring to Byung Hun Lee, I wasn’t sure,” he said.
When asked about fans wanting to see a more romantic dynamic between In-Ho and Gi-Hun, including playful comments about them “cutting the tension with a kiss,” Byung-Hun laughed and responded, “I just thought they were joking around, but I’m not really sure what that’s about.” He added, “No, I’m not uncomfortable, but I wouldn’t say I feel particularly good about it either,” brushing off the question with humor.
