Cho Sang-woo (#218): Tricked Ali, Leading To His Death By far one of the most emotional scenes and episodes of Squid Game was episode 6 when Cho, realizing he was going to lose the marble challenge, manipulated Abdul and set him up to die. Cho pretended he was concocting a clever plan to help them both live.
Sang-woo behaves with generosity, but this kindness is the direct result of one of Squid Game's greatest deceptions. It's not that Sang-woo suddenly turns evil when he betrays Ali.
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.
456 His Jacket. Before the Marbles game round, Gi-hun gave his jacket to the old man to cover his trousers after Gi-hun noticed Il-nam had wet himself while sleeping. Later, the old man hands Gi-hun his own jacket, saying the other players "will look down on him" if he doesn't have a jacket.
The character reveals that he is extremely rich and at was at a point in his life where he was bored. Having everything he wanted didn't leave him happy and so he created the game to have some “fun”.
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.
As well as befriending Eleven in order to gain her trust so she would remove his Soteria implant, we learn in the final episode that 001 initially spared El because he wanted her to join him. He viewed her as an ally rather than an enemy because they were "alike".
"I imagined being him and thought to myself, 'What is the color that you would never choose to dye your hair? ' Then I came to the conclusion that Gi-hun would never dye his hair red. It would be the [most unexpected] thing for him to do. So I chose the color and I thought it really showed his inner anger."
Gi-hun's fate seems pretty open-ended by the end of the show, but it's clear that the game has sunken its claws into him for good, and even though he's won, there's never really an escape. In this case, the "red light" - aka his hair - signifies his inability to move forward after all he's experienced.

Unfortunately for Ali, Sang-woo's plan was a trick to distract him while he swapped Ali's bag of marbles for a bag of pebbles, keeping the real bag for himself. With minutes left in the challenge, Sang-woo turns in the bag of marbles he stole from Ali, securing his safety and Ali's demise seconds later.
In this sense, Gi-hun and Sang-woo are both exceptional. Gi-hun's empathy contrasts with Sang-woo's psychopathy.
We saw her get hit by a flying shard of glass when the bridge exploded and she lost a lot of blood. Player 456 (Gi-hun) ran to the guards asking them to help his dying friend then player 218 (Sang-woo) brutally stabbed 067 in the neck and secured his spot as one of the two finalists in Squid Game.
Player 067, aka Kang Sae-byeok, is a fiery young woman who narrowly escaped North Korea with her younger brother.
Ali is among the majority of contestants to initially vote to withdraw from the competition, but he ultimately decides to voluntarily return after he accidentally injures his boss after he pushed him into rolling machine, crushing his fingers during a confrontation about the fact that his boss hasn't paid him for six ...
The massively popular Korean survival drama concluded its buzzy first season with Seong Gi-hun, a.k.a. Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae), deciding not to get on a plane to see his daughter; instead he turned around on the jet bridge to seek revenge on the sadistic game that almost cost him his life along with the other 455 ...
Gi-hun, angered by the turn of events, makes his move, but when he gains the upper hand, he's not able to easily kill his friend. Instead, he decides to forfeit, giving up the winnings as long as he and Sang-woo can walk away.
It's no coincidence that Gi-hun wins ₩45.6 million won in episode 1, is later designated as Squid Game Player 456, and eventually wins Squid Game's ₩45.6 billion won grand prize. The symbolism doesn't end there.
The orderly, who befriended Eleven because she was the most powerful subject, tricks her into removing a chip in his skin. It turns out that the orderly is the mysterious Number One, a man named Henry Creel who came under Brenner's care after killing his parents.
For whatever reason, he identified Eleven as the likeliest target for his manipulations and got her to remove a device Brenner had implanted in his neck. The device (called a "soteria," which we explained in our analysis here) had prevented Henry from using his powers or escaping the lab.

Ali Abdul (Korean: 알리 압둘), also referred to as Player 199, is a main character in the first season of the South Korean Netflix drama TV series Squid Game. Ali is a migrant worker from Pakistan that came to South Korea with his wife and child, and later joined the Squid Game to win the prize money for his family.
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.
