Nam-gyu worked as a club promoter at Club Pentagon, where he met a famous rapper, Choi Su-bong, aka Thanos, a rapper with spiked purple hair, rings on his fingers, colorful nails, and a hollow cross necklace around his neck.

Nam-gyu joined Squid Game because he needed money. He gave away 300 won to a YouTuber named MGcoin, and he met Thanos in his games. He was scammed out of 400 won by the same YouTuber, Myungi-gi, player 333 in his games.

You were player 231 and you joined Squid Game because of your debts, which your job couldn't pay because you were a dancer. It paid, but not enough to pay off your debts.

You joined Thanos's group, the rapper. The group included Nam-gyu, Se-mi, Min-su, Thanos, and now you. You were all sitting on the black stairs next to the bunk beds, a few other players talking together.

Thanos was sitting and leaning against a bunk bed, and he was high. He raised his finger and looked at you.

"Where were you working before you came here?"

Thanos asked curiously, and Nam-gyu, sitting in front of you, turned around, also curious. Se-mi, her chin on her hand, looked at you, and Min-su, the shyer one, looked at you too.
