## History

Chae Gang-sun was born on August 31, 1971 to his parents Chae Bo-seong and Kim Il-ju. He attended Yangju Technical High School and graduated in February 1991. He worked as a transport driver for Hae-il Movers before quitting or being terminated in 1998, possibly in relation to an unspecified gambling charge he picked up in March of that year.

He began a second job as a driver for Lousy Movers but lost it after being arrested for a hit-and-run committed while drunk driving in November 2005. He spent nine years in prison before being released in December 2014, incurring heavy amounts of debt and eventually landing another job at Banga Labor.

In 2020, Chae Gang-sun decided to join the Squid Games because of his debts. After waking up in a huge room with 455 other people, he signed his contract and took a photo. He survived the first game, Red Light, Green Light. Although it is unknown what he voted, he was sent home when the games were terminated. He decided to return along with 186 other people.

* Though his birthday is listed to be August 31, 1971, Chae Gang-sun is erroneously shown to be 45 years old on the information sheet displayed in the control room, and his parents are both listed as being 66. This is most likely a mistake on the editors' parts.
* Player 134 appears as a woman when Seong Gi-hun starts licking.
* His icon disappears in Red Light, Green Light, even though he is shown alive later on.
* Chae Gang-sun seems to have the same player portrait as Player 126, Player 138, and Player 377. This is most likely a mistake on the editors' parts.

Chae Gang-sun was portrayed by at least two unknown extras.

## Appearances

Ddakji

**Ddakji** (딱지 *Ttakji*?) is a game that the salesman uses to recruit potential players to partake in the Squid Games.

## Game Information

The salesman will come up to a person, usually a debt ridden one, and offer the to play a game of *Ddakji*.

The person will choose between a red and blue envelope. If the person manages to flip the salesman's envelope he will get a hundred thousand won vice versa. If the person loses and does not have the money they will receive a slap on the face from the salesman.

After a player wins, the salesman gave them the offer to participate in that year's Squid Game by giving them a card.

## Trivia

* The red and blue choice is inspired on an urban legend where a ghost asks to choose between the aforementioned colors of paper in a bathroom. No matter what color will be chosen, both will result in painful deaths (red for stabbing and blue for strangling).
* In real life, ddakji is a great activity to keep children entertained. Folding the tiles helps them learn basic origami techniques and work on fine motor skills. Playing with friends encourages them to work on social skills like sharing, taking turns, and graciously handling winning or losing the game.

Around the last seven minutes of the game, he loses all of his marbles, and is then shot by one of the guards and dies. Neither 116, 303 or \_26 are seen after the game is over.

* Despite the fact that his player number is clearly visible, he is credited as Deok-su's Gang Member 3.

After helping Deok-su in the second game, Han Mi-nyeo was accepted in the gang. After Deok-su killed Player 271, the players realized that they could kill each other in between games without suffering any punishment from the Guards. This caused the gang to plan a riot after the lights went out. Five minutes before the lights went out, the doctor Byeong-gi approached the gang and asked to join, seeking protection.

Right before the Tug of War game, Player 360, Player 083, Player 122, Player 357, Player 032 joined the group, forming Team 1. Having received information about the third game thanks to the doctor conspiring with the masked guards, Deok-su betrayed Mi-nyeo and kicked her out of the team in favor of having only strong men. This caused Mi-nyeo to ally with their rival group, Seong Gi-hun's team.

During the Marbles game, eight members of Deok-su's team were eliminated. The only survivors were Jang Deok-su, Player 360, and the former member Han Mi-nyeo. All three were eliminated in the following game, Glass Stepping Stones.

Oh Mal-soon

**Oh Mal-soon** (오말순 *O Mal-sun*?) was the elderly mother of Seong Gi-hun, and they lived together in Ssangmun-dong, Seoul, until her death from diabetes during her son's participation in the 33rd Squid Game.

## History

Oh Mal-soon is the archetypal nagging but deep-down loving mother. She is very worried for the safety of her son, as Gi-hun gets himself into plenty of trouble, and questions him if he stole or gambled the money he brings back home. She is deeply disappointed by her son's path in life, and their debts have left them penniless. In fact, she is still working to make money and pay rent, and makes more than Gi-hun does; he frequently asks for loans from her and has taken money from her account before.

Gi-hun remarks that his mother probably cares more about her granddaughter, Ga-yeong, than him. Despite their troubles, Oh Mal-soon does still love him and could not imagine disowning him.

When telling Gi-hun that Ga-yeong and her new family will be moving to the United States, she implores Gi-hun to fight for custody of her, because if Ga-yeong ends up moving, she will forget how to speak Korean and they will not be able to communicate well. Gi-hun's mother attempts to refer him to a neighbor who works in law, who claims that if the father of a child is financially stable, he can claim custody of the child. This remark from Gi-hun's mother is what initially sparks Gi-hun to follow up on the business card he was given earlier in the day and participate in the Squid Games.

However, due to her advanced age, Oh Mal-soon is plagued by health issues, including type-2 diabetes. Even after a diabetic emergency, she refused to pay for medical care because of the cost of the related bills and so that she could continue to pay rent for her and her son to have a home. This inspired Gi-hun to return to the Squid Games after their initial cancellation, so that he could pay for his mother's care. Upon returning home after his victory in the Squid Games, Gi-hun found his mother deceased on the floor of their apartment, having died alone from diabetes complications while he was competing in the Squid Games. At first he does not process the loss of his mother, but once the reality sets in, he lies down next to her body and cries.

## Trivia

* Her name is likely a reference to the main character in director Hwang Dong-hyuk's 2014 comedy-drama film, *Miss Granny*.

### Mistakes

* In the episode "The Man with the Umbrella", Seong Gi-hun's player file erroneously states that his mother's name is **Kim Chun-ja**. This is most likely a mistake on the graphic designers' parts.

## Behind the scenes

Oh Mal-soon is portrayed by Kim Young-ok. She was 83 years old during the production of *Squid Game*.

Oh Yeong-uk

> *How are we supposed to believe you? You suddenly put us to sleep, took away our phones and wallets, then dragged us here in this mysterious place. Now you show up and say you'll pay us handsomely for a few games? Do you expect us to believe that?*
>

> Oh Yeong-uk to a manager in "Red Light, Green Light"

**Oh Yeong-uk** (오영욱 *O Yeong-ug*?), also known as **Player 118**, was a contestant who participated in the 33rd Squid Game. He appears in the episode "Red Light, Green Light", where he was eliminated in the first game of the same name.

## History

Oh Yeong-uk was ₩1.02 billion in debt and chose to enter the Squid Games to win large amounts of money. He was picked up by Squid Game staff and brought to the island where the games take place.

After the guards explain the games and the prize, he questions their sincerity, considering they were all gassed, stripped and brought inside a "strange warehouse". When the staff projected footage of several contestants playing *ddakji*, Oh Yeong-uk was one of the players whose name and amount of debt were stated.

Oh Yeong-uk ultimately decided to stay, signing a consent form to enter and having his photo taken before proceeding. When the instructions for the first game were read aloud, Yeong-uk talked to the man next to him, Seong Gi-hun, asking if the game was the same one that they'd played as kids.

After Player 324 was detected moving and shot with a sniper, Yeong-uk asked Gi-hun what the loud noise made by the gunshot was.

### Fate

> *Help, please. I don't wanna die. Please, help. Help me.*
>
>
> Oh Yeong-uk's last words to Seong Gi-hun.
>
>

Oh Yeong-uk apparently managed to survive the initial chaos that occurred after Player 324 and 250's deaths and advanced a bit further before being shot in the left leg. He survived his elimination and crawled up to Seong Gi-hun, grabbing his leg and begging him to help him. Gi-hun managed to break out of his grip and run away, and Yeong-uk was subsequently detected by Young-hee and shot a second time in the chest, killing him.

His dead body was later shown during a montage that appeared when the Front Man was watching the game.

## Behind the scenes

Oh Yeong-uk was portrayed by Hong Woo-jin.

## Appearances

* Season One
	+ "Red Light, Green Light"

## References

1. ↑ Given that Cho Sang-woo was dropped off in the early morning hours of June 11 after the first game ended, it can be assumed that Red Light, Green Light took place no later than June 9 or 10, as the 33rd Squid Game is known to have started soon after Seong Ga-yeong's birthday on June 8.
2. ↑ When Oh Yeong-uk grabs onto Seong Gi-hun's leg, he is much farther away from the doors than he was previously, implying that he was able to advance significantly offscreen before being shot.
