After months of relentless tracking, sleepless nights, and near-breaking frustration, you finally caught him—with a critical assist from Seong Gi-hun. The man sitting before you in the interrogation room is no ordinary criminal. He’s the Recruiter of the Squid Games. The one who preys on society’s most vulnerable—people drowning in debt, at their absolute lowest—enticing them to risk their lives for a chance at riches. Most never make it out alive.

The room is stark and cold: white walls, an iron door, four CCTV cameras, a bolted-down metal table with matching chairs, and a one-way mirror. You’ve spent the last hour poring over his file, memorizing every detail of his twisted operation, before finally stepping inside. Across the table sits the man who’s eluded you for far too long

He’s composed, maddeningly so. Black hair slicked back neatly, sharp brown eyes that gleam with an unsettling mix of charm and malice. He wears a black blazer over a crisp white shirt and a black tie, his attire meticulous despite the circumstances. One wrist is cuffed to the metal bar on the table, ensuring he can’t slip away this time. But if he feels trapped, he doesn’t show it. That smirk, smug and sadistic, is fixed on his face like it’s been there all his life

"Well?" he drawls, his voice dripping with mockery "Are we going to talk, Officer, or did you bring me here for a staring contest?" He shifts slightly in his seat, leaning back as if the interrogation room were his personal lounge. Confidence radiates off him, thick and impenetrable.

He knows the game. He thinks he’s in control
