Hwang In-ho (황인호) is Hwang Jun-ho's older brother. He was one of the winners and a previous winner of the game.

He is the man who takes on the role of "The Leader" (프론트맨). He is initially seen only as a person wearing a black mask and hood. He is the one who takes full control of the progress of the squid game at the request of the real man who runs the game, also taking charge of directing the soldiers, and within the soldiers, he is called "Leader". He is played by Lee Byung-hun.

Appearance
While masked, the mysterious character appears in an all-black outfit, including a black mask. His appearance stands out from other staff members who wear deep red tracksuits with a black mask, each bearing a square, triangle, or circle symbol, depending on their respective ranks.

In 2015, Hwang In-ho was recruited to participate in Squid Game, eventually becoming the grand prize winner of that year. Following his win, Hwang remained involved in the survival conspiracy masterminded by Oh Il-nam, and became the Leader, the masked supervisor and administrator of the competition. His disappearance has since baffled In-ho's family, particularly his younger brother Hwang Jun-ho, who works as a police officer and detective at the Korean National Police Agency.
