It’s getting confusing, so who are all the players in Squid Game season two?

Squid Game season two has dominated the Netflix charts since it came out last week and shows no signs of slowing down. From insane cliffhanger endings to broken records, the show has left no stone unturned. There’s actually too many new characters to keep track of this season, so here’s a definitive guide to all of them to help you enjoy the show better. Spoilers ahead!

Player 456 – Seong Gi-hun

via Netflix

Gi-hun is our main man who needs no introduction. He’s the previous winner from season one who threw himself right back in amongst the Squid Game players in season two. Name a more unhinged man than him, I dare you.

Player 390 – Jung-bae

via Netflix

Jung-bae is Gi-hun’s best friend from the outside world, from before he entered his first Squid Game. The two were close throughout the whole of season two, but he seemed to face a grizzly fate at the end of the season.

Player 388 – Dae-ho

via Netflix

Dae-ho was very popular with Jung-bae after he found out he was an ex-marine like him. They both made an excellent team and played a crucial role in helping the main group in this season of Squid Game.

Dae-ho also attempts to take loaded magazines from the dead guards and bring them back to the rebel group. However, his fear gets the best of him, and he never goes back to fighting the guards meaning his team lose the battle.

Player 380 – Se-mi

Player 380 is Se-mi, AKA the girl with the awesome piercings who’s a total badass and looks out for Min-su. She teams up with Thanos and his gang of idiots but she thinks she can use them to her advantage until she outsmarts them all. Min-su ends up betraying her and she eventually dies. It’s really sad!

Player 333 – Lee Myeong-gi

via Netflix

Gorgeous Player 333 is a very controversial part of the game. He’s the man behind a YouTube crypto channel, MG Coin, who caused around 15.2 billion won of debt. He was a huge target for competitors like Thanos and Nam-gyu, who lost money from his crypto-currency.

As Squid Game season two progresses, it is also revealed Lee Myeong-gi’s former lover, Kim Jun-hui (Player 222), is also at the games. After finding out Jun-hui is pregnant, Myeong-gi tries to convince her to quit the games and start over with him. However, after remembering how he left her, Jun-hui struggles to trust him. He also tried to save her (and himself) in the third game by jumping in the room with her team.

Player 246 – Kyung-seok

via Netflix

Kyung-seok is the father of the sick little girl with the strawberry hat who we met at the beginning of the season. He unfortunately meets a terrible fate during the player revolt, and the future of his daughter’s cancer treatment is uncertain.

Player 230 – Thanos

via Netflix

Player 230 is played by a real-life rapper and singer, T.O.P. Thanos initially thought the games were a joke, but soon turns to drugs to deal with the gravity of the situation. He ends up probably having the most fun out of all the participants, but has one of the worst deaths being killed with a fork in the toilets. Ew.

Player 222 – Kim Jun-hui

via Netflix

Player 222, Kim Jun-hui, is a young pregnant woman who ends up becoming a part of the games after her former partner, Lee Myeong-gi, abandons her. The main heroes of the season take her on board. Later in the series, Lee Myeong-gi also tries to get back with her, claiming they put their earnings from the games together and create a good life for their child. However, Jun-hui is pretty adamant she wants nothing to do with him.

Player 196 – Song Ji-woo

via Netflix

Player 196 had a brief but iconic stint on Squid Game season two. Thanos has a huge crush on her but she is the first to die after a bee lands on her in Red Light, Green Light.

Player 149 – Jang Geum-ja

via Netflix

Unlike other players at the games, Jang Geum-ja is not driven by her own debt. She only goes into the games to pay off her son’s debt. Jang Geum-ja is such a selfless mother that she even encourages her son to leave, assuring him that she will play the games and win him the money. She’s easily the loveliest woman ever.

Player 125 – Min-su

via Netflix

Se-mi approaches Min-su and asks him to form an alliance with her during Squid Game season 2’s first team event. Moments later, Thanos asks Se-mi to join his team and is also forced to have Min-su on board. Se-mi reveals later on that she asked Min-su to be on her team because she believed he was too timid and innocent to betray her. However, Min-su proves her wrong by abandoning her during the Mingle game. In season two’s final arc, Min-su also goes against Thanos and Nam-gyu by joining team who want to leave the games. It’s all chaos!

Player 124 – Nam-gyu

via Netflix

After surviving Red Light, Green Light, Player 124, Nam Gyu, approaches Thanos, asking him for pills. Thanos warns him that he can’t handle them, but, Nam Gyu assures Thanos that he has done a fair share of drugs while managing a nightclub in the past. Thanos eventually agrees to share his pills with him, which makes the two allies in the games.

Player 120 – Hyun-ju

via Netflix

Park Sung-hoon plays a transgender woman, Hyun Ju, in Squid Game season two. Hyun-ju joins the games to afford her gender-affirming operation. Despite wanting to win the games, she shows compassion toward others and helps Gi-hun save a man’s life in the first Red Light, Green Light game. Hyun-ju also has a background in Special Forces, which comes in handy when Gi-hun and there’s a player revolt.

Player 100

via Netflix

With no name, Player 100 was a key champion for staying in the games and was very hostile. He’s also the most in-debt with 10 billion won.

Instead of feeling guilty about his negative net worth, Player 100 proudly shows off that not everyone gets that big of an amount in debt.

Player 095 – Young-mi

via Netflix

Hyun-ju struggles to find team members before Squid Game season two’s first team event. However, to her surprise, Player 095, Young-mi, innocently approaches her and asks them if she will team up with her. With this, Young-mi and Hyun-ju instantly become friends and look out for each other. Unfortunately, she meets a grizzly end when she gets killed during the Mingle game.

Player 044 – Seon-nyeo

via Netflix

Player number 044, Seon-nyeo, is portrayed as a self-proclaimed shaman who goes around making predictions about other players. Some of her prophecies about other players turn out to be true. She initially teams up with the relatively righteous characters, but when they leave her behind in one of the games, she joins the morally questionable ones. She also claims to have cursed the heroes after they abandon her during one of the games.

Player 007 – Park Yong-sik

via Netflix

Park Yong-sik is another gambling addict in the games. He convinces himself that he will play just one game before acquiring enough wealth to pay off his debt like everyone else. However, the stakes become way more personal for him when he finds out his mother has followed him to the games.

Despite literally putting his mother’s life in danger, he initially refuses to give up on his old habits and votes for the games to continue. However, when he nearly loses his mother during Mingle, he realizes the reward is not worth the risk of losing her. Yay for character growth!

Player 001 – Hwang In-ho (or Young-il)

via Netflix

The Front Man, Hwang In-ho, shows up as Player 001 to compete in the games. Like the previous 001, he’s an insider. He takes a risk of becoming one of the competitors because he sees Gi-hun as a threat and wishes to keep a close eye on him. He manages to keep his identity a secret and also wins Gi-hun’s trust throughout the games. Jung-bae grows suspicious of him when he kills a man with his bare hands during the Mingle game. However, Hwang In-hoo maintains his composure and does not break character until Squid Game season two’s finale. It’s VERY tense.
