Why should we believe that? Y-You took all our stuff and put us to sleep coming here, and then you brought us to this strange warehouse. Now you're saying you'll pay us if we go and play a few games? You really expect us to buy that?
Oh Yeong-uk questioning a Manager in "Red Light, Green Light"
Oh Yeong-uk (오영욱 O Yeong-ug?), also known as Player 118, was a contestant who participated in the 33rd Squid Game. He appears in the episode "Red Light, Green Light", where he was eliminated in the first game of the same name.
History[]
Oh Yeong-uk was ₩1.02 billion in debt and chose to enter the Squid Games to win large amounts of money. He was picked up by Squid Game staff and brought to the island where the games take place.
After the guards explain the games and the prize, he questions their sincerity, considering they were all gassed, stripped and brought inside a "strange warehouse". When the staff projected footage of several contestants playing ddakji, Yeong-uk was one of the players whose name and amount of debt were stated.
Yeong-uk ultimately decided to stay, signing a consent form to enter and having his photo taken before proceeding. When the instructions for the first game were read aloud, Yeong-uk talked to the man next to him, Seong Gi-hun, asking if the game was the same one that they'd played as kids.
After Player 324 was detected moving and shot with a sniper, Yeong-uk asked Gi-hun what the loud noise made by the gunshot was.
Death[]
Help, please. I don't wanna die. Please, help. Help me.
Yeong-uk's last words to Seong Gi-hun in "Red Light, Green Light"
Yeong-uk apparently managed to survive the initial chaos that occurred after Player 324 and 250's deaths and advanced a bit further before being shot in the left leg.[2] He survived his elimination and crawled up to Seong Gi-hun, grabbing his leg and begging him to help him. Gi-hun managed to break out of his grip and run away, and Yeong-uk was subsequently detected by Young-hee and shot a second time in the chest, killing him.
His corpse was later shown during a montage that appeared when the Front Man was watching the game.
Trivia[]
- Given the events of the second season, it's possible that Yeong-uk was deliberately shot in the leg so that he would survive long enough for his organs to be harvested and then later killed by a second unrelated sniper, similarly to Kang No-eul.
Mistakes[]
- Oh Yeong-uk’s icon shows as a different man who has the same icon as Player 226.

- ↑ Given that Cho Sang-woo was dropped off in the early morning hours of June 11 after the first game ended, it can be assumed that Red Light, Green Light took place no later than June 9 or 10, as the 33rd Squid Game is known to have started soon after Seong Ga-yeong's birthday on June 8.
- ↑ When Oh Yeong-uk grabs onto Seong Gi-hun's leg, he is much farther away from the doors than he was previously, implying that he was able to advance significantly offscreen before being shot.
