Player 329 is a man who participated in the 33rd Squid Game in 2020. He appears in the episodes "Hell" "The Man with the Umbrella" and "Stick to the Team"
History[]
Player 329 is deeply in debt and sees the high-stakes competition as a last chance to win a life-changing amount of money. Like many others in the game, he is driven by desperation to escape his financial burdens. After being recruited, he wakes up in a large, unfamiliar room with 455 other players. He signs a contract agreeing to the rules of the game and poses for a photo, officially entering the first game called Red Light, Green Light. Despite the initial chaos that ensued after the first game's rules were revealed, including the shocking deaths of Player 324 and Player 250, Player 329 managed to keep his composure. He ran strategically, making it to the finish line and successfully passing through the game as many contestants were eliminated around him.
Following the game, Player 329 was deeply affected by the loss of fellow contestants, grappling with the weight of their deaths. When a vote was held to decide whether to continue the games, he, along with 100 other players and the staff, voted to discontinue them[2], leading to their temporary return home. After returning to his hometown, Player 329 found it hard to adjust to life outside the competition. When the opportunity to re-enter the games arose, he chose to return, motivated by the hope of winning the grand prize. Player 329 exhibited adaptability and resourcefulness in the second game, Sugar Honeycombs, where he managed to survive the intricate challenges, showcasing his determination to outlast the competition. In Special Game he managed to kill Player 398 (presumably)
Death[]
Player 329 getting killed
In the intense atmosphere of the Special Game, Player 329 was driven by desperation and fear, determined to secure his survival at any cost. In a moment of aggression, he targeted Player 095, trying to suffocate her in a bid to eliminate the competition. Player 131, witnessing the brutal act unfold, reacted instinctively. With a swift motion, he grabbed a nearby glass bottle and smashed it over Player 329's head. The shattering glass sent shards flying, and the impact sent Player 329 staggering back in shock and pain. As he stumbled, Player 131 followed up with a fierce kick, sending Player 329 crashing to the ground. The combination of the blow and the earlier attack left him vulnerable. He lay there, lifeless, while Player 095 crawled away, narrowly escaping the danger that had threatened him.

- In a brief moment during Red Light, Green Light, another player resembling Player 329 was seen running toward the doors. This adds to the confusion around his character and raises questions about the production's continuity and character management during the frantic scenes.
