Did it matter that Jun-ho didn't tell Gi-hun about the Front Man?
I've seen a lot of discussion about Jun-ho not telling Gi-hun that the Front Man was his brother. Many seem to think this was a crucial missed opportunity, but I'm genuinely curious: what good would it have done? Let's say Jun-ho had told Gi-hun. What could Gi-hun realistically have done with that information? He was a player, trapped in the game. He had no power, no resources, and no way to contact the outside world. Knowing that the Front Man was Jun-ho's brother wouldn't have changed his immediate situation. He still had to play the games to survive. Even if Gi-hun had confronted the Front Man, what leverage did he have? He was just another player. The Front Man was in complete control. Telling the other players wouldn't have helped either. They were all desperate and wouldn't have believed him without proof, and even if they did, they were in the same powerless position. Knowing the Front Man's identity doesn't magically give Gi-hun superpowers or a way out. He was trapped, and his priority was survival. What am I missing? Is there something I'm not considering? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
