| ~ Player 202 to Cho Hyun-ju while trying to kill her. |
Player 202 is a minor antagonist of the Netflix K-Drama Squid Game. He is a player in the 37th Squid Games and member of Team O. He is a Seeker during the Hide and Seek game who attacks and tries to kill Cho Hyun-ju in order to survive the game.

Personality[]
Like most of the Team O members, Player 202 is greedy, ruthless, and wants the games to keep going at all costs just to win money. He also appears violent and good at fighting, especially when he is fighting Hyun-ju and dodging all her stabs.
Biography[]
Player 202 is a South Korean man who ended up in large amounts of debt (possibly having been a thug, judging by his tattoo), leading him to participate in the 2024 Squid Games. He survived the first 3 games and voted O again after the third vote. The vote ended in a tie, and tensions grew between Teams X and O. Player 202 decided to team up with the O players and kill the X players at night, killing as many as possible, until the Pink Guards step in.
He joins Im Jeong-dae and Kim Yeong-sam in mocking Gi-hun after his rebellion fails. Before Hide and Seek, he gets a red gumball, meaning he's in the Red Team, the Seekers who have to kill at least one player to pass.
At around 10 minutes before the end of the game, he hears Jun-hee's baby crying, and finds her with Geum-ja and Hyun-ju. He immediately starts to fight with Hyun-ju and stabs her leg, attempting to kill her in order to pass. Hyun-ju drags him to the exit room, where player 202 is overpowered and stabbed to death by Hyun-ju.
