spoiler warning ahead for squid game season one he's everyone's favorite gamboo player one o il nam but behind that old seemingly innocent facade is what many have argued is a criminal mastermind but i'm here to tell you don't believe those lies player one did nothing wrong in this video i'll be laying out the case for why illness bad rap is unwarranted and how his decisions throughout the game even ones that lead to murder are actually benevolent but before we begin make sure to like and subscribe and if you need a refresher on the show check out my squid game ending explained i should first mention that my argument here isn't that illnom is perfect far from it every human is flawed and this is represented throughout our colorful cast of characters songwoo is arguably the worst of the lot lying about knowing one of the games in advance tricking ali with a fake bag of rocks resulting in his death and the icing on the cake throwing someone off the glass bridge hell even gyun exploits ilnam's quote-unquote dementia to avoid defeat in the marvel game what i'm getting at here is that ilnam is far from the most evil character on the show in fact he shows a lot of remorse and compassion but more on that in a bit as we find out in the series final episode player NUMBER_TOKEN is the founder of squid game a game in which contestants battle for their lives for prize money and here is the first reason oil nom did nothing wrong the games are voluntary unlike similar death style games like battle royale alice in borderland or even the hunger games contestants are given the opportunity not to play we see this with guillen who's given a card to enter he doesn't have to go he does it on his own free will even when he gets to the games he signs a waiver which is juxtaposed to the one he signed under duress from a thug he owed money to in episode NUMBER_TOKEN. gyan and the other contestants did everything voluntarily also address the argument they didn't know they might die in the first game later on in the video and if this wasn't enough there's rule number three contestants can choose to end the games if the majority of players agree illnam actually becomes the deciding vote in ending the game if he was some bloodthirsty maniac he would never have voted to end it that's because ilnam has an unspoken moral code about how the game should be run who should be able to compete and when it comes to him as a player minimally affecting the outcome the game's contestants aren't chosen at random illness actually wants those who need the money to participate in fact there is a screening process of sorts done through men like this guy who we see engage geon in a game of dakji this ensures contestants who take part really need that money and the prize money along with how it is distributed is equally noble as we learn in episode NUMBER_TOKEN the total prize pool is NUMBER_TOKEN billion won or roughly NUMBER_TOKEN and a half million us dollars that's more than enough to change someone's life and no matter the outcome of the game money will be given out if for example the contestants decide to end the game the families of the
