one thing i find interesting abt in-ho is how he says "i sincerely hoped you'd live a good life (after winning the games)" (paraphrasing) to gi-hun, but like. in-ho didn't do that himself after winning the games. outside of being the frontman, he lives in a small shitty apartment, isolates himself from his family, etc. much like how gi-hun lives in the abandoned love-hotel, isolates himself from his friends and family, etc. they're so alike in so many ways. i think that in-ho had probably hoped that gi-hun could live the happy life that he wasn't able to, but also probably wasn't surprised when gi-hun didn't move on much like how he didn't move on himself.
the parallels are insane

Who tf gave you permission to rip my heart out like that/j
Junho slowly dying from major injuries at the end of the series.
He can't run anymore. He couldn't even stand anymore. The base is quickly going up in flames. The others have evacuated, and the only ones left are;
Gihun, who's at the end of the group to make sure everyone is safe, (and that's means Inho and Junho)
Junho, who's practically dead weight and has no energy left due to his injuries,
And Inho, who is still holding onto his brother for dear life, injured but trying to carry his brother out with what strength he has left.
Junho collapses not even halfway through. Burning debris fell from the ceiling and hit Inho's leg.
Gihun rushes to them and tries to help them out. Inho can't carry Junho anymore, and Junho is not moving except for labored breathing.
Gihun is conflicted. He doesn't know what to do. He can't carry both of them and by the time he getd one out, it'll be too late for the other.
"Take Junho, Gihun-ssi"
"What?"
"There's no decision to be made. Take my brother and go!"
Gihun hesitates. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Junho spoke.
"Hyung?"
It was weak.
"W-why is it dark, hyung?"
Gihun let out a sharp gasp while Inho's ragged breathing was interrupted by what sounded like a strangled sob.
Gihun catches Inho's eyes, and they know.
Junho is not gonna make it regardless.
Gihun kneels down to Inho and tries, one last time.
"Let's go. You can still get out."
Despite everything, Gihun already knows the answer.
Inho doesn't respond. He just held his little brother tighter, carding his hands through the dirty hair of the modt precious thing he has left.
Gihun exhales and ran his hand through Junho's hair as well.
"I'll take care of your mother."
After sparing one last look at Inho, whose eyes are looking at his brother only, Gihun leaves.
The flames are getting closer to them, but Inho can't feel anything other than Junho in his arms.
"Hyung?"
"Y-yeah?"
"It's warm."
Junho nuzzles closer to his older brother. Inho does nothing but reciprocate.
"It is, isn't it?"
"I. Hah. I don't think our house had been this warm in a long time."
Ihno chuckles and sobs.
"Hyung?"
"Yes, Junho?"
"I'm glad you're home."
If I can rewrite this as a proper one shot, I'll be posting on ao3

RAHHHHH THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE U SEONG GIHUN
Helloo! I fucking love your analysis on gi-hun's character and the way you defended him lol (gotta defend our bbg <3) And sorry for asking cuz I really need someone smarter than me. I saw a post that blamed Gi-hun for Jung Bae's death, that all he could have done was give Jung Bae money so that he wouldn't go to the games (also for ghosting Jung Bae). And that he could have helped other poor people, but he chose to go back to the games.
Also, a YouTube video comparing and saying "who had it worse?" shows Gi-hun and In-ho.
And those takes frustrated me that I couldn't form into words TOT. I'm like a child asking for validation lol.
(again, sorry for asking and for horrible grammar/english)
Thank you! I truly appreciate it. You are all so nice to me :). Also, don't insult your intelligence, please! All Gi-hun defenders have the smartest most beautifullest brains ever. Also, your english and grammar is great, don't apologize. I hope you are satisfied with this answer. I've been waiting to talk about this one.
I also saw that post. Let me get this out of the way first: everyone is entitled to their opinion and I am not making this post to shame anyone or create drama. I just want to get my points out there.
Jung-bae's death is not on anyone except for In-ho.
Gi-hun was not the cause of Jung-bae entering the games. He "ghosted" Jung-bae because he had just went through horrible, unimaginable things and could barely make it through everyday life. People with tons of trauma like that tend to isolate themselves for many reasons. For Gi-hun, he is carrying a lot of weight and it's hard to keep up with relationships when you are constantly experiencing emotional pain. He doesn't want to burden people with that, or put them at risk by being the prior winner who is out to stop the games.
Also, how was he supposed to know Jung-bae was desperate enough to join the games or that he was even a target? He didn't know that he had debt like that or was losing his family to divorce. Maybe you can argue that he would have if he kept in contact, but see my above statements.
In addition, it is vital to Gi-hun's character and his plotline that he sees that money as blood money. He only started using it when he was desperate to stop the games. Plus, what would paying off peoples debts do in the long run? It doesn't erase future debts or all debts for that matter. Gi-hun didn't win that much money. Yes, that is still a good and easier thing to do, but that would not stop the games. It makes sense for him to use the money for finding the recruiter instead so that even if someone has a debt (which is pretty much unstoppable) that they won't be placed in fucking death games. Plus, wouldn't you also want to know about the games and how to stop them after all that had happened to you?
I just don't think its fair to blame Jung-bae's death on Gi-hun, at all.
