Netflix mega-hit Squid Game's actor Oh Young-soo, Player 001, has won Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role on TV at the 79th Golden Globe Awards, becoming the first South Korean to win in any category at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's (HFPA) annual awards show.
77-year-old 'Squid Game' player 001 actor says he can't handle the volume of acting jobs he's being offered.
With 001, the camera sticks on Gi-hun, as he walks away and then flinches at the sound of the gun shot. We don't see the death, or 001's dead body, until he actually dies in his hospital bed in the finale.
001 set up the games because he and many of his rich friends were bored, no longer able to enjoy life as their wealth made their days too easy.
Oh Il-nam (Korean: 오일남), also referred to as the Host or Player 001, is the main antagonist of the first season of the South Korean Netflix drama Squid Game. At first, he seemed to be an ordinary old man who got to participate in the Squid Game as a destitute player.
Viewers were shocked too, because the character everyone thought was just a sweet old man was actually an evil game-master responsible for so many deaths. The clues were there if you looked, however, though some were very sneaky.
Jang Deok-su (Korean: 장덕수), also referred to as Player 101, is a major antagonist in the first season of the South Korean Netflix series Squid Game. He is a gangster boss in South Korea who decided to participate in Oh Il-nam's 2020 Squid Game in order to pay off the debts he owes to the mafia and to a Filipino casino.
We don't see the death, or 001's dead body, until he actually dies in his hospital bed in the finale.
Squid Game's player 067 is the first role for Korean fashion model HoYeon Jung. In 2013, Jung participated in season 4 of Korea's Next Top Model.
So I chose the color and I thought it really showed his inner anger.” So it's a radical, symbolic move. Gi-Hun is angry and the red is designed to channel and reflect that inner rage out. I think he looks goofy.
We learn that the organizer of the games is in fact Oh Il-nam (No. 0001), the old man. He founded the games with several wealthy friends after the group had become bored with their fortunes and wanted to have “fun.”
Sang-woo, who came this far, sacrificing his sense of decency and humanity in order to win, plunges the knife into his own neck, doing the deed for Gi-hun. His dying wish is for Gi-hun to take care of his mother, and, unwillingly, Gi-hun becomes the winner of the games, though his triumph is hollow.
Some are saying that 001, the old man, is the father of 456, Seong Gi-Hun. And I can see why! In episode 3, 456 starts talking about how he can only drink chocolate milk because regular milk makes him sick. And 001 makes a comment that he must have gotten spanked a lot.
Not only is Il-nam player 001 and the first "player" in the Squid Game, but he's also the creator of the game. He's the top ranked person among the guards, the Front Man, and the VIPs.
Player 001 Wanted To Prove Humanity Was Evil Before He Died
However, in the competition's final match—the titular Squid Game—player 001 watched as Gi-hun refused to kill Sang-Woo and requested to end the game instead. This was the most unexpected thing the man had done yet.
Oh Il-nam (오일남 O Il-nam?), also known as Player 001, was a rich financial tycoon who was the creator and host of the Squid Games. In 2020, he competed as an elderly contestant in the 33rd Squid Game to relive his childhood memories before he died.
So, with a total of 456 players, the compensation could equate to 45.6 billion won. In U.S. dollars, that equals around $38 million. In the end, Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), known as Player 456, wins the games and takes home the total prize money. Squid Game episode 5 reveals some of the secrets behind the games.

Ika Musume (Japanese: イカ娘), also known as Squid Girl in the English version is the main protagonist in Shinryaku! Ika Musume.
The Masked Men, also called Staff or Pink Soldiers, are a shadowy organization of figures who serve as the central antagonists of the first season of the South Korean Netflix series Squid Game. They are responsible for overseeing the game, and wear pink hoods and featureless black masks to conceal their identities.
The way these Easter eggs occur at the same time suggests a close connection between the fact that Il-nam is the Squid Game founder and that Gi-hun is his son.
Out of the players, it is only Gi-hun - who wins the games - who makes it to the end of the series. Sang-woo, Sae-byeok, Abdul Ali, Deok-su, and Mi-nyeo are all killed during the games.
In a joint statement from Netflix and co-producing studios The Garden and Studio Lambert on Friday, the production companies denied claims of a fixed game, saying “any suggestion that the competition is rigged or claims of serious harm to players are simply untrue.”
