Dae-ho

Dae-ho was a respectful young man. He demonstrated great discipline; however, he lied about his service in the Navy, claiming to be a social services employee.

Dae-ho is shown to have a strong moral compass. When Gi-hun informed them that the second game he played in the past was Dalgona, Dae-ho suggested that they tell everyone so that everyone could move on to the next round. He also planned to switch to X immediately after the second round and actually kept his word to do so. This was despite the fact that the prize money wasn't enough to cover his debt, being the only X player to do so apart from Lee Myung-gi. When Myung-gi was being attacked by Thanos and Nam-gyu, he agreed with Jung-bae that they should intervene before the former got seriously injured and later in the bathroom, he offered to protect Myung-gi along with the rest of his team if he was bullied again. During Mingle, Dae-ho, along with Jun-hee, defends Myung-gi when Cho Hyun-ju blames him for Kim Young-mi's death, agreeing that he saved their lives and that there wasn't enough time to save her.

During The Revolt, Dae-ho freaks out and abandons his assignment upon seeing a dead body. Dae-ho only began to crack under the pressure when the gunfire broke out in full force and after witnessing Player 072 being killed right in front of him. It's subtly hinted that Dae-ho's father was abusive, as he mentions that his father disapproved of the interests his four sisters instilled in him. Furthermore, when Dae-ho is having a traumatic episode and fearfully hiding in the dorms, Hyun-ju approaches him to retrieve the magazines sent to him, but reflexively flinches when Hyun-ju simply raises his hand, seemingly anticipating her hitting him, which may imply childhood abuse he suffered at the hands of his father that still plagues him decades later. That means his father would torture him more than we already thought.

She has an attractive, youthful face, shoulder-length, straight hair tied back in a half bun. She has a healthy, fit body, and no muscles. Her hair is black and her eyes are brown, she has white skin.

Dae-ho grew up surrounded by four older sisters and spent most of his time playing with them, which made him an expert in things considered "girly" by society's standards. Later, his father forces him to enlist in the military to prove he's "manly" enough, which he doesn't because he's chosen as a social services personnel, implying he wasn't considered mentally fit for regular military service. So he gets a Marine tattoo despite never having been one.

Dae-ho had accumulated 630 million won in debt and decided to enter the Squid Game
