this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results,
the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.”
