Wait. I don’t wanna stay here, okay? Where’s Mom? You said she would come soon, you told me that we’d be together. That I just had to wait a month.. All the kids told me you lied. They said I’d never leave and… they said I’d get abandoned here.
Kang Cheol to Kang Sae-byeok in "Hell"
Kang Cheol (강철 Gang Cheol?) is the younger brother of Kang Sae-byeok.
History[]
Kang Cheol is a ten-year-old boy who was left in an orphanage due to absences of his father and mother. His sister, Kang Sae-byeok, was unable to care for him due to participating in the Squid Game and being eliminated.
In 2021, Seong Gi-hun picks an eleven-year-old Cheol up at the orphanage and introduces himself as Sae-byeok's good friend. Cheol asks him if he knows where his sister is, but Gi-hun doesn't answer. Gi-hun brings Cheol to Sang-woo's mother so she can take care of him. By doing this, he fulfilled his promise to Sae-byeok to look after their loved ones. Currently Kang Cheol is being taken care of by Cho Sang-woo's mother.
