Cho hyun-ju (player 120)

She participated in the 37th edition of the Squid Game. She participated with the goal of raising enough money to fund her gender reassignment surgeries. During the games, Hyun-ju formed an alliance with Park Yong-sik, Jang Geum-ja, and Kim Young-mi. Hyun-ju has been shown to be caring and hospitable to most of the players she has come across. She is loyal, brave, and protective of the close friends she makes during the games. Examples include such as when she went out of her way to help a man with Gi-hun during Red Light, Green Light. As someone with a military background, she is extremely disciplined and skilled in combat and is not afraid to fight or threaten those who are threats to others she cares about or herself, such as against Kim Yeong-sam and Player 202 in the game Hide and Seek, as well as in the failed rebellion that she contributed to and participated in. Despite this, she appears to be shy and insecure, likely due to the fact that her life took a negative turn when she transitioned. Through her resilience, she seeks to break stereotypes.
