Masked Managers are the highest-ranked Masked Men and major antagonists in Season 1 of the South Korean Netflix drama series Squid Game. Clad in masks with square emblems, their role in the Squid Game is to manage each round of the game and give orders to the other Masked Men.

The Masked Managers all report directly to the Front Man, the overseer of the entire Squid Game. A different Masked Manager is in charge of each round of the Squid Game, and several more accompany the Front Man and act as his intermediaries. While the Masked Soldiers are responsible for executing people, Masked Managers each carry a single revolver, allowing them to dish out punishments personally if necessary. Though ranked above the other Masked Men, Managers are just as bound by the rules of the game as they are and liable to be executed if they violate any of them.

History

After all the players were rounded up and brought to the island for the Squid Game, a single Manager appeared to them accompanied by a litany of Masked Workers, and explained the rules of the game to them before sending them off to take part in the first round of the game, a deadly game of "red light green light". After the first round finished with over 100 players were killed in it, the surviving players all protested and demanded to be let out. The Masked Manager permitted them to hold a vote on whether the game should end, but before doing so revealed to them the amount of money they would receive if they won the game. In an extremely close vote, the majority of players voting "yes" to end the game and were all brought back to the mainland.

However, the majority of players decided to soon rejoin the game after realizing their lives at home weren't much better. A second Masked Manager supervised round two of the game, in which the players would each have to carve one of four symbols out of a sugar honeycomb, and be executed if they broke it or failed to carve it out in time. One player managed to steal a pistol off of a Masked Soldier and point it at the Masked Manager, demanding he remove his mask and let him go free. The Masked Manager did so, revealing him to be a young adult male, causing the player to kill himself out of the shock of seeing someone so young as one of the masked men. The Manager was then personally executed by Front Man for breaking one of the game's rules by removing his mask.

In the next round of the game, a new Masked Manager explained what the third round would be - a deadly game of Tug-of-War.
