With Gi-hun in the dorm, the Front Man keeps a watchful eye on him. During "Red Light, Green Light", the Front Man notices that thanks to Gi-hun's instructions, fewer players were eliminated. He then decides to infiltrate the game as Player 001, to teach Gi-hun a lesson, and ends up being the deciding vote to continue the games while he instructs the Masked Officer, a manager in black suit, to control the games.

In-ho, as Player 001, votes O making all players stay in the games. He then approaches Gi-hun and forms a team with him. Gi-hun witnesses In-ho fighting [[Thanos (Squid Game)|Thanos]] and [[List of Squid Game characters#Nam-gyu|Nam-gyu]], saving [[List of Squid Game characters|Lee Myung-gi]]'s life, trying to earn Gi-hun's trust.
