Player 239 was a participant in the Squid Game that took place in 2024.

History

Player 239, like the other contestants, joined the Squid Games due to being in significant debt. He, along with 364 other contestants, made it past the first game. During the vote on whether to discontinue or continue the game, he voted to continue the games. After the players were told to form teams of five for the second game, Player 239 teamed up with 135, 263, 415 and 453. When it was announced that the game was Six-Legged Pentathlon, the team decided on Player 239 playing Ddakji.

Fate

Player 239 and his team gunned down just before the finishing line.

The team were among the last two to play the game. When the opposite team cheered them on, they cheered back, telling them that they'd see each other again. The team was able to complete all five games within five minutes. However, despite this, they ran out of time just before they could cross the finishing line. As such, they were all gunned down. However, when 239 was shot, he was seen moving his arms, indicating that he may have survived the initial gunshot but died of his injuries or to the organ traffickers.
