Airport taxi driver[]
A man who picked up Seong Gi-hun outside Incheon International Airport in his taxicab in 2022. When the driver asked Gi-hun would like to go, the latter paused for a while and said "to Seoul". The taxi driver then said "alright" and drove off.
He is portrayed by actor Jung Yoon-young and credited as "Taxi driver (Airport)".
Boy in bathroom[]
A young boy who found Seong Gi-hun in a bathroom in Seoul, naked and bloodied around the ear after removing a tracking device from behind his ear. The pair then stared at each other awkwardly for a moment before Gi-hun apologized, asking for the boy to wait at least five more minutes for him to be finished with what he was doing. The boy then slowly nodded and then left quietly.
He is portrayed by child actor Hong Ji-wan.
Police officer[]
A traffic cop who was assigned as the partner of former detective Hwang Jun-ho, who was now working as a traffic cop. He is implied to be a rookie.
He and Jun-ho carried out traffic stops on a motorcyclist and his girlfriend, and Seong Gi-hun when they caught him speeding. In the second step, Jun-ho then told the officer to tackle this one in his own, advising him to not be "unkind", not entertain the speeder too much, and to "just be polite and professional". The officer then approached Gi-hun's vehicle, took and scanned his ID, and gave him a ₩60,000 speeding fine. Before he could finish his sentence, Gi-hun took his ID and drove off.
After this, Jun-ho approached the officer, asking if he'd done everything right as the interaction had gone a lot quicker than he thought it would. When the police officer tells Jun-ho that Gi-hun just sped away, Jun-ho noted that that behaviour was "suspicious", asking the police officer if he'd looked up Gi-hun's ID. The police officer revealed that he had, but nothing had come up, and that Gi-hun's car had "a lot of cell phones and tablets".
The officer is portrayed by actor Jeon Bong-seok.
Motorcyclist[]
The motorcyclist.
A man riding a motorcycle with his girlfriend while not wearing a helmet. When stopped by Hwang Jun-ho and his partner, he accused them of entrapment, describing him and his girlfriend as 'broke citizens'. He was forced to hand his license over and became exasperated when his girlfriend got off and flirted and took selfies with Jun-ho.
After Jun-ho presented him with a ₩20,000 fine, he drove off without his girlfriend. When she asked him wear he was going, he told her to ask Jun-ho for a ride, calling him a "stupid pig", leaving her chasing after him as he drove away without her.
The motorcyclist is portrayed by actor Kim Ji-seok.
Motorcyclist's girlfriend[]
The motorcyclist's girlfriend.
A woman was the girlfriend of a motorcyclist who was stopped by Hwang Jun-ho and his partner. During the stop, she hopped off the motorcycle and asked Jun-ho to just let them go as she was wearing a helmet. When he refused, she then called him "really hot", after which he threatened to charge her with obstruction. She then called him a "tough cookie" and walked over to his side, taking a selfie with him.
As Jun-ho delivered a fine to her boyfriend, she asked him for permission to post the selfie online and inquired if he had Instagram as well. However, this exasperated her boyfriend, who drove off without her after receiving the fine. When she asked him wear he was going, he told her to ask Jun-ho for a ride, leaving her chasing after him as he went back to driving away without her.
The motorcyclist's girlfriend is portrayed by actress Kang Yeo-jung.
Motel couple[]
The man.
The woman.
A young man and woman who stumbled across the Pink Motel while looking for a place to stay the night in the Banghak-dong neighbourhood of Seoul. Not knowing that its true purpose, the man went to open the door but found it locked, and then began knocking, hoping to attract someone's attention.
The woman then asked if they could stay elsewhere, calling the motel "a dump", and the man then remarked that all of the lights in the building were off, wondering if the business was closed. The woman then said that meant the motel was fully-occupied, and the man questioned how she would know that, sarcastically calling her a "motel expert". She in turn called him a "dick", pointing out that he said that he liked how she "knew everything". As she walked off without him, the man asked her to just tell him how she knew, wondering if her ex-boyfriend had told her.
The man is portrayed by Ha Young-son, and the woman is portrayed by Son Da-yeon.
Kim's subordinates[]
The subordinates.
Several men who were members of Kim Jeong-rae's gangs of loansharks.
When Seong Gi-hun, one of their clients/victims, resurfaced with billions of won, claiming to have survived a death game, he approached Kim and his men to track down the game's recruiter. Though the men were initially skeptical, Kim pointed out that Seong had gone from being deeply in debt to being far richer than all of them. He also noted that many of their clients/victims had disappeared without a trace throughout the years and that the money Gi-hun was offering allowed him to keep the business afloat. This interaction implies that there was at least some level of camaraderie amongst the men and their boss.
Woo-seok gathered the men and told them to look out for a man in the subway playing Ddakji with people and slapping them if they lost. He presented them with a mannequin bearing a generalisation of his appearance, as well as an example of a card which he gave to people for recruiting. After this, the men rushed out into the subway system, going through every station, taking photos in each and every one of them to confirm to Gi-hun that it had been checked.
Three of the subordinates are portrayed by Lee Woon-san, Choi Yoon-bin and Hwang Jae-hoon. The latter two had also appeared as loan sharks in the Season 1 episode Red Light, Green Light.
Subway civilians[]
The first man.
The second man.
The third man.
Three men either on or waiting to board the South Korean subway system were shown having the belongings checked by Kim Jeong-rae's men. The first and third both asked who the men were. The first was standing in the subway and had a bag slung over his shoulder though the men quickly left him alone once they realised that he did not match the description of the recruiter. The second appeared to be a businessman and was sitting on a seat in the subway Kim took his briefcase from him and began examining its contents. As the man attempted to reach for his bag, Woo-seok sat him back down, telling him that they were just performing a quick check. The briefcase was presumably returned after. The third also appeared to be a standard suited businessman with a briefcase. He was standing in queue for the subway when one of Kim's men grabbed his briefcase and began dumping its contents on the ground as another prevented him from approaching.
All three are uncredited, though the second is known to have been portrayed by extra Jang Dae-hyun, who also portrayed Player 080. Though it is possible that these are meant to be the same character, it seems more likely that the show's creators were simply reusing extras from the games, as Jang is not the only example of a player-portraying extra who appears outside of the games.

When a person picked the lottery ticket, which many did, he gave them a coin to scratch off the ticket with, and asked for the coin back when they failed to win.
After he was done, he then dumped all of the remaining bread on the ground, and began maniacally stomping all of the excess bread, blaming the homeless people for the waste. This was also witnessed by Kim Jeong-rae and Choi Woo-seok.

As the orange cab entered narrower streets and alleyways, Woo-seok and Jeong-rae began giving him directions. After the recruiter got off of his cab, Woo-seok and Jeong-rae asked to be dropped off. The pair then rushed out off the cab as Woo-seok paid the driver.

He took it, not knowing that it contained Seong Gi-hun's tracker, which had been removed from underneath his tooth.
Later, he was approached by a group of armed mercenaries and Choi Woo-seok. Woo-seok then approached him and showed his phone pointing the tracker to the fisherman's location and began searching his bait. Confused, the fisherman began questioning them, asking them who they were as two mercenaries grabbed him from either side and a third pointed an assault rifle at his face.
