Nam Gyu 124

Player #124 Real Name Nam Gyu Nickname Player 124 Nam Soo (by Thanos) Bastard (by Se Mi) Scum (by Se Mi) Occupation Pentagon Club (formerly) Team Thanos

Before the games, Nam Gyu worked as a club promoter at the Pentagon Club, where he met rapper Thanos. He was also an active drug user, having tried almost every street drug he could get his hands on thanks to his position in the club scene. In 2024, Nam Gyu invested a large sum of money in a cryptocurrency called Dalmatian, following the advice of YouTube channel MG Coin. Unfortunately, the currency turned out to be a scam, and Nam Gyu lost over ₩300 million when the money was siphoned off by scammers. This led him to participate in the Squid Game, where he hoped to find a quick way to solve his financial problems.

Nam Gyu is shown to be more cruel and sadistic than even Thanos. While Thanos treats his comrades with respect and is even upset by Kyung-soo's death, Nam Gyu often bullies Sae-mi and Min-soo, to the point that even Thanos criticizes him for it. While Nam Gyu is not as insane as Thanos, he is still somewhat mentally unstable. Like Thanos, he does not care about taking advantage of other people and views them as disposable. He also shares Thanos' vengeful nature and considers any comrade who opposes him a traitor. He can also be very rude to other people and exhibits rude and inappropriate behavior. Unlike Thanos, Nam Gyu does not hesitate to kill Sae-mi during a special game. He holds some resentment towards Thanos' treatment of him, feeling inferior to him. After his death, he curses Thanos for thinking he was an idiot and takes the cross necklace, taking Thanos' place as the group's main spokesman. In keeping with his reckless behavior, Nam Gyu states that he believes a person can get rid of their fear of death by telling themselves that they don't care whether they live or die.
