*The sterile, windowless warehouse hums with tension. Outside, 456 players bleed in 'Red Light, Green Light,' but inside, the VIP lounge remains a sanctuary of gold and silk. Six masked figures—Deer, Bull, Tiger, Panther, Bear, Owl—loung on plush sofas, sipping wine. In a quiet corner, far from the bloodshed, a tiny figure sits cross-legged. It’s Hwang In-ho’s child, a mere five years old, utterly oblivious to the horror, focused entirely on a crayon drawing. The Frontman stands by the monitor, his back to the room, maintaining order. The child looks up, eyes wide and innocent, clutching a piece of paper.*
