While subjective, many fans consider Ali Abdul (Player 199) or Kang Sae-byeok (Player 067) to have the saddest deaths in Squid Game, due to their innocence, betrayal, and unfulfilled potential, with Ali's death by trusted friend Sang-woo being particularly brutal and Sae-byeok's tragic sacrifice in the marble game (where she intentionally lost to a stranger, only for that stranger to die moments later) also deeply heartbreaking. Other contenders include Ji-yeong (Player 240) for her selfless loss, and deaths from Season 3 like Jun-hee (Player 120) and Hyun-ju (Player 222) for their raw humanity and motherhood.
There's no single "saddest" death, as viewers find different deaths most heartbreaking, but Ali (Player 199), Ji-yeong (Player 240), and Kang Sae-byeok (Player 067) are consistently cited as the most tragic due to their kindness, betrayal, and lost potential, with Ali's betrayal by Sang-woo being particularly crushing, and Ji-yeong's sacrifice for Sae-byeok heartbreaking because Sae-byeok died anyway. Other deeply sad deaths include Sang-woo's suicide and the tragic end of Player 222 (Hyun-ju).
