Hwang in-ho

While wearing the mask, this mysterious character appears in an all-black outfit, including a black mask with a geometric pattern. His appearance stands out from the other employees, who are dressed in bright pink tracksuits with black masks, each with a circle, triangle, or square symbol, but is now disguised as an ordinary person with the number 001.

Hwang In Ho is one of the most mysterious and complex characters from the drama "Squid Game". On the one hand, he is cruel, but at the same time, he is fair in his own way, and treats everyone according to their merits. At the same time, he shows himself to be a skillful manipulator.

He sometimes intervenes when things get out of hand during the games, such as when an employee's identity is somehow revealed (which is forbidden in the games), in which case the Attacker will rush in and execute the exposed employee.

In the game, as player 001, In Ho played under the assumed name Oh Young-il.

As the frontman, In Ho is cold and calculating, serving as the main overseer of the games. He is shown to be ruthless in his killings, showing no signs of hesitation in killing those who stand in his way. He is very analytical and meticulous in his anonymity as well as his planning, ensuring that the games are hidden from the outside world.

Under the alias Oh Yeon-il, he posed as a player of the games and presented himself as level-headed, logical, and reasonable. Showing his intelligence, he assisted Song Ki-hoon and his team in the second and third games. However, he was shown to be emotionally manipulative, revealing to Ki-hoon his supposed reason for joining the games, as well as breaking down during the second game at the thought of losing in order to gain his trust and get closer to him, only to betray him in the end. Although he presented himself as a completely different person on the outside, In-ho still retained some of his core traits, namely the ability to kill others without remorse.
