**Jang Seung-jong** (장승종 *Jang Seung-jong*?), also known as **Player 004**, is a contestant who participated in the 33rd Squid Game that was held in 2020. He appears in "Red Light, Green Light" and "The Man with the Umbrella", and his player file is shown in "A Fair World".

## History

Jang Seung-jong was born to his father and his 13-year-old mother on February 16, 1970. He attended Gyeonggi Junior College and worked as a bus driver for Mukook Transportation for 13 years. He lost his job on December 21, 2017 after getting into a car accident while driving under the influence. As of 2020, he was unemployed and living with his parents.

After being contacted by Squid Game staff, Jang Seung-jong decided to join the Squid Games and was picked up and sedated and taken to the island where the games take place. After waking up in a large room with 455 other people, Seung-jong can be seen when the assembled players are formally welcomed to the games. He signed a consent form and had his picture taken before proceeding.

Player 004 managed to survive the first game, Red Light, Green Light. When there was a vote held afterwards to decide whether to continue the games, a narrow majority voted no, and he was sent home along with everyone else. He was one of many people to return when the games resumed weeks later.

### Fate

During the second game, Sugar Honeycombs, Jang Seung-jong chose a star shape, later breaking it during the game and being eliminated with five minutes remaining.[cite]

## Trivia

* Jang Seung-jong shares his name with Player 63, the victor of the 4th Squid Game. It's possible, though extremely unlikely, that these two are the same person.
* According to his player file, Jang Seung-jong lived in the Pungsan-dong neighborhood of Hanam in Gyeonggi-do.

### Mistakes

* Player 004 was implied to have died during the initial panic of "Red Light, Green Light", as his icon in the Squid Game control room went dark during the game, and he was portrayed by an unnamed female actor in "The Man with the Umbrella". These inconsistencies are most likely mistakes on the editors' and casting director's parts, respectively.
	+ His survival also means that he presumably voted to end the games, as there were two "no" votes and then two "yes" votes prior to Oh Il-nam voting.
* When Hwang Jun-ho opens the player list for the 28th Squid Game, Jang Seung-jong's file appears, explicitly stating that he participated in the 33rd Squid Game, with his and his parents' ages lining up as such. This mistake is most likely an error on the prop designer's part.
