Player 001’s real name and identity in Squid Game Season 2 Explained

In the second season of Squid Game, it’s unveiled that Player Number 001 is actually the Game Master, one of the organizers of the competition, played by Lee Byung-hun.

In Season 2, Gi-Hun finds himself back in the high-stakes survival game, but this time, he’s not playing to meet his financial obligations – instead, he seeks revenge. He’s dead set on confronting the Mastermind and dismantling the malicious game forever. However, it was clear that Gi-Hun’s mission wouldn’t come without challenges, as the Mastermind would undoubtedly place numerous hurdles in his path.

As the clock ticked down, it was my turn to cast the decisive vote – whether to halt the game or let it rage on. With a heart pounding like a drum, I opted for the lethal contest, choosing to keep the excitement alive.
