Characters. This is the character page, where you can find all the characters. The winner of the 33 rd Squid Game is bolded and underlined.
- Seong Gi-hun. It would be inexcusable not to begin with the show’s star played by Lee Jung-jae, Seong Gi-hun is a single, absent-minded father with an estranged wife, and daughter he repeatedly disappoints.
- Kang Sae-byeok. A North Korean refugee, Kang Sae-byeok (played by HoYeon Jung) is in the first instance a prickly, highly-guarded character. After fleeing the oppressive regime of her motherland along with her mother, father, and brother, it soon comes to pass that Sae-Byeok’s father was captured and killed, and her mother caught, leaving her and her brother to fend for themselves across the border as pickpockets.
- Jang Deok-su. Put simply, Jang Deok-Su (played by Heo Sung-tae) is Squid Games’ villain. Both in appearance and in nature (he's a gangster), Deok-su is a detestable human being and one of the most evil and horrible characters.
- Cho Sang-woo. Upon reflection, Cho Sang-woo (played excellently by Park Hae-soo, who the director always wanted for the Squid Game cast) is more befitting of that “Bond Villain” title.

it is a pretty common gag in korea for someone to have a name that contrasts with their personality. Like how the scowling, dead faced North Korean girl is named after the morning dawn. Gi-Hun comments, "your name really doesn't fit you."
