HWANG JUN-HO & HWANG IN-HO

unpopular opinion (or not?) but I think the reason Jun-ho didn’t tell Gi-hun that the Front Man was his brother wasn’t because Jun-ho wanted Gi-hun to trust him and agree to work with him.

Jun-ho purposefully kept his brother’s name and face a secret from Gi-hun because he knew Gi-hun wanted to kill his brother, and he’d be making it easier for Gi-hun to achieve that if he told Gi-hun who the Front Man was and what he looked like. and despite what In-ho did, Jun-ho still loves and cares about him. and that’s the real reason he kept the Front Man’s identity a secret from Gi-hun AND from his fellow police officers.

wait till y’all see me babying my other babygirl, who did nothing wrong ever in his life, art the clown

100% the kind of shit Jun-ho sends In-ho without context or any explanation and In-ho is too old for meme culture so he’s just sitting there staring at his phone for 20 minutes with a straight face trying to figure out what this is supposed to mean and if it’s some kind of a secret code (despite Jun-ho having done this to him many times before)
