Glass Ladder: A Squid Game Lost Chapter

The players aren't the only ones trapped in the Squid Game.

Before Square Manager 016, she was Han Ji-wan, a corporate shark in finance who played the company ladder game better than anyone - until she was blacklisted and her ambition got her branded an "Icarus."

Seizing an opportunity for a fresh start, she accepts a position at a private firm: IlHo Solutions. But this is no ordinary corporation. IlHo is the front for a billionaire tycoon's engine that operates the Squid Game machine.

Now she stands on a remote island, wearing a pink uniform and a square mask for the 33rd Game - where every decision has a lethal consequence. Under the watch of Front Man, who is both her greatest protector and threat to everything she has left.

She thought she could outplay this rigged game of survival. She thought wrong.
