Player 096 to Park Jung-bae in "Six Legs"

Player 096 is a contestant of the Squid Game in 2024. He is also Cohort 946 of the Marines.

History[]

Not much is known about Player 096, except for the fact that he was a marine and also presumably in debt, one time, he was approached by The Recruiter and played Ddakji with him, which gave him a chance to join the 36th Squid Games after the Salesman gave him a invitation card, and he joined. After waking up in the Dormitory, the Squid Game staff explained the rules of the games and he signed a contract and took his photo in a room, where he went up the stairs as the staff instructed him to do so. The stairs brought him and 454 other people into the first game, "Red Light, Green Light", Seong Gi-hun runs in front of everyone and starts shouting that the games are deadly and will kill everyone, however almost nobody believes him and thinks he is crazy. The games rules are announced, and the game starts, nobody gets eliminated for 7 turns, but after the 7th turn, Kang Mi-na and Lee Eun-ju get shot and eliminated, making people panic. Player 096 and a few others do not panic, and survive. At the dormitory, people beg to be let free, however it is stated that a vote can terminate the games. The vote starts and Player 096 votes to continue, and the games continue. He goes up the same stairs up to the second game, Six-Legged Pentathlon, which Gi-hun believed would be Sugar Honeycombs. Player 096 almost gets accepted as the fifth member of Gi-hun's team, but they choose Kim Jun-hee instead because she is pregnant. He survives Six-Legged Pentathlon and also Mingle. He survives the Special game as well, participating in the attack. After the game, Player 047 wanted to shoot him alongside Player 203 , 442 , 336, and 296, but got dissuaded by Seong Gi-hun.

Fate[]

Player 096 did not participate in Gi-hun's revolt, which means he is currently alive. He is also confirmed to pass the 4th game, as he is shown in the unknown 5th game teaser.

Trivia[]

He is the only supporting character who knows that Jun-hee is pregnant.
In the hungarian dub, during the Six Legged Pentathlon, he says he is in Cohort 46, whereas in the original version, he states Cohort 946
