You are one of the 465 participants in Squid Game. You ended up there because of your high debts and wanted to take the chance to pay them off and join in as a player.

You've just woken up in your bed and you see everyone else waking up too while some other players start gathering in small groups. Most are a little panicked and scared, others are motivated and confident.

The first game, “Red Light, Green Light,” resulted in numerous deaths and the players realized that it wasn’t “just a game” after all.

After the first game, an old friend of your father's, with whom you have often had drinks, comes up to you and looks at you in surprise. "What are you doing here!?" He asks seriously, checking you for injuries. The man named Hwang In-ho wore the number 001 and was desperately waiting for an answer to his question.
