if you've never heard of netflix's squid
game then chances are you've been living under a rock good morning
this global sensation thrilled and stunned audiences both old and young and it ended
with audiences learning the important lessons of never underestimating people who appear to be weak
in the show the frail looking old man o'il nem first appearing to be weak and pitiful but at
the end of the show it was revealed that he was the hand behind the wicked and gory squid games
much like oil nam we have compiled 10 shocking and surprising details about the sensational
squid games character that will surprise an audio but hopefully not in a fatal way
here are 10 facts about oil now that will amaze you number 10 his name is o ilnam
right before his death in the marvel game was arranged oel
nam was shown to have told gihon that he remembered that his name was o ilnam
this revelation gains even more depth when you realize that it literally means the first man
in english you might think that this just means that he was the first person to be
selected as a player in the squid games but it also hints at the sinister fact that he's
the creator of the game the top man the host and the number one man in every possible way
number nine he's the south korean equivalent of the joker
the joker is a psychopathic criminal in the batman universe who reveals the ugly
face of humanity in the most violent way possible the joker teaches us about the
hidden ugly nature of humans by putting them in survival like extreme conditions
similar to the joker o ilnam's view about humanity is not so different he perceives
humans as despicable and lowsome creatures who can only pretend to be good on the surface
he works to expose the self-centerness and
betrayal of the players who want to win the squid game at whatever cost
number eight he was just bored
yeah you heard that right before the squid games oh illness was an incredibly rich tycoon who
lacked nothing he could get anything he could ever want and his wealth no longer gave him any joy
to relieve his boredom o il nam and his wealthy clients and his financial corporation together
created the squid games based on some barely remembered south korean childhood games
if you watch the show you'll remember o ilnam 001
saying that being rich is just as miserable as being poor
now i don't agree with him in the slightest but regardless of what i thought oh nem suffered from
a brain tumor and decided to try and recapture his childhood through a series of dangerous games
bit of a weird way to deal with grief if you ask me
number seven he was the most important voter because of the way the game was structured
he was responsible for the most important vote this is because voting was conducted in reverse
order of number and the previous 200 votes were split evenly he ultimately put his vote
to good use and ended the game which gave the surviving participants the chance to go home
number six he is the best strategist
you probably won't be shocked to learn that he's a brilliant strategist an example of a skill is
revealed during the tug of war battle when they were expected to lose because their team consisted
of three women and one frail old man against a team of strong men fortunately ilnam's strategy
and sang wu's quick thinking was enough to ensure that they live through the deadly game
number five he was a serial killer for so long without trying to sugarcoat it oh eel nam was a
serial killer think about it the squid games was an annual event that first took place in 1988
with the most recent taking place in 2020 this means that ilnam is responsible for almost
15 000 deaths over 33 years and consider an average of 456 players had participated in
these terrifying games that's higher than the body count of any serial killer you've heard of
number four he wanted to have childlike fun before his death
girls just want to have fun and o'il nam appeared to think the same
in fact the main reason why he started the games in the first place was to have undiluted childlike
fun because everything else felt boring to him so i guess he tried to fill that hole with murder
number three he designed a game based on extreme capitalist ideology
the rule of this game is only applicable on financially poor players the same rule doesn't
apply to him in an equal way this only means that wealthy capitalists are too big that they are
above the society and its rules he designed this deadly game where humans will abandon their ethics
and morals his game was a type of exploitation of financially struggling hopeless people
who will voluntarily participate in a death game just for the chance to get out of it
the giant bank of money that was attached to the ceiling represented great of capitalism
the soft glowing light on the money represented glorification of capitalism
the pool of money act as a symbol of the greedy hope in capitalist society a person who is living
a terrible life will not hesitate to put his life on death track to achieve a successful life
capitalists really want you to focus on the winner and not all the people who died along the way
you see this in any thread critiquing capitalism
number two he was searching for a true friend before his death
the saddest thing about the squid games is the fact that ill nam was just looking for a friend
it doesn't excuse what he did but it was the act of finally meeting gihon who would listen
to him that made him happy this was the reason why he loved gihon because he had finally found
someone that cared for him with no monetary attachment the scene where il nam ends up
giving his player jacket to gi hoon after gee hun gave his own to cover up his pants showcases this
and it is a reason why he chose to stay with gihon rather than attempt to prolong his life
number one his personal life the psychopathic character o ilnam was
played by south korean veteran actor o youngsu he was born on 19 october 1944
in kampung that is situated at border between south and north korea unfortunately in the korean
war au jung-soo lost his father and his brother was captured by north korea and never returned
when he grew up he married to a lady mo kang who was a banker and later their
home was filled with the joy of having a daughter today this old man crushed the
whole drama industry at the age of 77 and won the golden globe award in 2022
this means that everyone including you can defy your age-related stereotypes if you have strong
will and motivation in your life in the past he has won awards for his great performances
in more than 200 stage productions since 1963 in a movie that was released in 2003 we can see
him as playing the role of a buddhist monk after which he got the nickname monk actor
