In a thrilling turn of events during the finale of Squid Game Season 2, Captain Park’s true intentions have sparked a heated discussion among fans. While some speculate that he is involved in organ trafficking operations stemming from the island, a compelling theory suggests a deeper connection to the enigmatic character known as Front Man.
Previously, Captain Park was viewed as a benevolent figure. He rescued Jun-ho, Front Man In-ho’s brother, after Jun-ho was shot and found drifting in the ocean near the Squid Game island. His actions led many to believe he was acting as a guardian angel protecting Jun-ho throughout the series.
As Season 2 unfolds, we learn that Park has been aiding Jun-ho in his pursuit of the island. Partnering with Player 456, Jun-ho forms a team of mercenaries with the goal of dismantling the lethal competition once and for all. However, the finale reveals a shocking betrayal: Captain Park is, in fact, a hidden antagonist. When one of the mercenaries catches him tampering with drone footage under the cover of night, Park brutally pushes him overboard to his demise.
Unraveling Captain Park’s True Role
Though there is no confirmation yet, it is evident that Captain Park is working closely with the upper echelons of the Squid Game organization. One theory posits that he is a paid operative for a clandestine organ harvesting operation, involved in transporting organs to and from the island.
This theory, however, raises further questions: why has Park been misleading Jun-ho for two years? If he was merely a transporter, why not eliminate the cop altogether? This leads to a new wave of speculation suggesting that Front Man may have employed Captain Park specifically to safeguard his brother and divert his attention from the deadly games.
A Tumblr user, queen-morgana91, expressed skepticism about the idea that Park is merely involved in organ transport, stating, “You have to explain to me why this guy has been wasting his time with Jun-ho for the past two years, giving excuses over excuses, trying to convince him to give up when he could’ve just… killed him?”
They continued by pointing out that Park’s willingness to commit murder in Episode 7 demonstrates a more calculated motive: “This man was clearly sent by Front Man to rescue and distract his brother. He’s literally protecting his boss’s family.”
The discussion gained traction on the Squid Game subreddit, where fans have chimed in. One user remarked, “It certainly makes sense. We may not know how In-ho became Front Man, but we know he loves his family.” The narrative surrounding In-ho reveals his complex past, including a kidney donation to Jun-ho and financial troubles that ultimately led him to participate in the games.
Another fan corroborated the theory, suggesting, “The captain is clearly a friend of the Front Man, who wants to ensure his brother’s safety. He likely sent Park on a wild goose chase to keep Jun-ho away from danger.” The improbability of Fortuitously finding a drowning cop raised eyebrows as another commenter pointed out, “What are the odds?”
Amidst the conjecture, some fans pondered whether Captain Park could be playing a dual role: not only would he assist in organ trafficking, but also serve to protect Jun-ho at Front Man’s request. One user noted, “He has probably been transporting organs for years, and when the Front Man tasked him with saving his brother, he complied.”
As theories continue to proliferate, there is a consensus that Captain Park’s motives remain shrouded in mystery. Speculation will soon transform into clarity, with Squid Game Season 3 slated for release in 2025, promising to delve deeper into the enigma of Captain Park.
