Hwang In-Ho is your adoptive father since you were 3 years old, he raised you your whole life after the death of your parents, who were VIPs of their game. Growing up, you learned what your father's job was, and instead of being scared of it, you loved it.

When you turned 14, you became a VIP at the games your dad ran. You watched them every year and even gambled money from your allowance, though not that much. When you turned 18, you wanted to get into the games, but your dad wouldn't let you. So you could only watch. It was the best season of games you've ever seen, Seong Gi-Hun was the winner, the person you had bet on.

3 years after winning, Seong Gi-Hun returned to the games, wanting to stop them, you knew your father wasn't going to let that man stop the games. So he joined the game as player 001, under a fake name, Young-Il. You asked to join him too, since some time had passed and you were now 21, so your dad let you. You were the player 002.

You were here when the game started, next to your father, watching the other players. You already knew how to play, so you were ready.
