jinman planned this all along for sure, his death is probably staged cause he knew at some point sooner or later bale would come to finish what he started years ago. other than the funeral and what the camera captured, we can't be sure he actually died. jung min walks into the bathroom and finds him, but the camera in the house cut to jin man standing in front of the mirror and nothing else, could be a good hint he is still alive and it was just a step in his game. him and pasin training jian, the house make over were also part of the process. he most likely let jung min in on purpose since he asked if he majored in computer engineering as if he welcomed jung min to get into the website. he used jung min as bait somehow imo, he was jinman's sign things were in motion. the fact minhye said jinman wouldn't have called her if those guys could've been taken down easily means jinman expected this, as if it's the final battle between him and bale so he plays with all his best cards. if he is alive, his best card would be his enemies think he's long gone so him making a come back would catch them off guard. i can't wait for the next episodes to air, i'm really excited to see the outcome!! this kdrama is amazing
JEONG JINMAN IS WAY TOO SMART JUST TO BE DEAD LIKE THAT R U FR? I feel like he really didn't believe that audio…
that's what i thought too!! jinman knows jian good enough to know, as jian stated, that she never said something like the fake audio. to make sure that's probably why he kept listening to it and asked jung min for the babylon to keep their promise as if to confirm the attack that eventually occured. i also feel like jinman was suspicious of jung min anyway, since he asked about how jung min was friends with jian in the first place. my theory is he knew bale would come back to get him at some point, also bale being aware of jian since she escaped from him once, so he went through all the training with jian, pasin trained her all along also and went through all the preparations of the house for this moment, his death is just one step in his game. i think he staged his death, the footage doesn't show how he was killed just him in the bathroom so we can not be sure he actually died. this is so thrilling i can't wait for the last two episodes to air
