In Netflix's Squid Game, Player 012 was a female contestant in the 37th Squid Game who survived the initial games by following Gi-hun, voted to leave, and was killed during the "Special Game" (Marbles) in the 12th Squid Game edition, indicating she was from a past event but shown in the current season's flashbacks, though her fate was uncertain. Her role highlights the recurring nature and brutality of the games across different years, with different individuals bearing the same number.
Player 012 was in heavy debt and chose to enter the Squid Games to win money. After waking up in a large room with 455 other people, he signed a contract and took his photo. He managed to survive the first game, Red Light, Green Light, after most of the contestants had been wiped out.

During Mingle, Player 012 was shot and killed during the second round of Mingle for not finding a room in time.
Right so the theory states the Front Man is the son of previous Player 001, Oh Il-nam. There is a lot of evidence for it too. In season one of the show we found out the old man, or Oh Il-nam, was behind the games. The Front Man, or new Player 001, is now the leader of the games.
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).
Also, if you look closely at the handcuffs chaining the players to the rope, 001's weren't actually locked, giving him the chance to bail out if they lost.
Since when the Frontman was playing in the games, he played as 001 it can be assumed that all the guards figured he was the Frontman since he didn't take a photo like everyone and his player number and photo doesn't appear on the tv screens at the floor in the control room.
Player 001, Oh Il-nam, is the main antagonist in Squid Game's first season. He initially appears as a destitute old man, seemingly unaware of the game's deadly nature due to his brain tumor.

Type of Conflicting Evil
Han Mi-nyeo (Korean: 한미녀), also referred to as Player 212, is one of the main characters in the first season of Netflix's K-drama Squid Game. Mi-nyeo is a manipulative woman who joined the Squid Game to win the prize money to solve her financial issues.
Physically, I had gone on a very strict diet for about 14 months, which actually got more strict by the day, up until the day we shot Gi-hun's final scene. Over that time, I lost about 10 kilograms (22 pounds).
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.

However, both end up failing, as In-ho's wife died outside the games while Myung-gi watches Jun-hee commit suicide. This ends up being the final straw for both of them to fall into villainy. They also fall into villainy because they were corrupted by someone (Oh Il-nam for In-ho, Nam-gyu for Myung-gi).
After all, they are also portrayed as people in debt back in South Korea. The guards aren't being paid, they are being blackmailed. Number 11 is trying to find her daughter and I think the squid game organization knows where she is they just aren't telling her because they're using it to control her.
He smiles when leaning back because of the sense of unity he feels with the team. When he is talking to Gi-Hun about the strike, he apologizes for being blasé about the media turning the strike into "some big story". He recognises the suffering that the players have endured on the outside as genuine.
In an interview with Netflix's Tudum, actor Lee Byung-hu, who plays the Front Man, explained why In-ho re-entered the game as Player 001. "Front Man returns to the game wanting to enlighten Gi-hun—wanting to teach Gi-hun and make him think the way he does about the world and mankind," he said.

Gi-hun's decision to sacrifice his own life also reflects his desire to protect Jun-hee's child, no matter the consequences. He might not know what the future will hold for her, but he knows that he did all he could, right up to the end.
Cho Hyun-ju appears in the second season of Squid Game, a trans woman who formerly served as a soldier in the South Korean military as a sergeant until she was discharged for wanting to transition.
