[@sariel8406]

Already self-guessed that he is the mastermind and is mindfucking everyone. Anyway what this video doesn't show is the deaths being foreshadowed early. Gi hun betting on his mom's life (mom died), deo seok jumping off a bridge (he died falling from a bridge), sae byeok putting a knife at the agent's neck (she got hers nicked). Also the gift to gi hun daughter is in a ribboned box that looked like the ribbon caskets. The fire from lighter hints at the incineration process. The number 6 and 8 is important too. It appears throughout the show. 456, 218.

Il nam actually gi hun's father who left young gi hun and his mom for a squid game n won it. In one episode during a meal gi hun said that he didn't drink milk and il nam said so does his son. In gganbu game il nam did mention he used to live at a place like in the game and gi hun also did mention the same during his childhood

[@cmiiitch]

The name Il-nam is actually a play on words, “il”, in Korean 일, means “1” and “nam”, or 남, means “man”, so Il-nam’s name literally means “man number one” or “first man”

[@placeboobshere5458]

Yeah, it's such a common korean name that lot of people don't even notice.

Ill man

[@JennieAhn]

@@placeboobshere5458 I wouldn't say it's a common name.. it was a common type of name that was used in the past (nowadays it's considered very old fashioned), and it usually means that you're the first born son in the family (not thinking about the possible hidden meaning in the series).

[@americxno]

I think the fact that the writers gave him a brain tumor was such a good idea. because when people start doubting the old man for being so stress-free during all the games, the first thing they would think of is that he has a brain tumor so he's going to die anyway, that's why he's not afraid, not that he's the mastermind behind it all. that was such a masterful move.

[@mimi11011]

Yup I assumed he was going senile.

Good eye!

[@nantenin123]

I actually caught on to most of these things like 1. Smiling during Red Light Green Light 2. The number one position despite not fitting the same criteria of as everyone else. 3. The guards stoping the riot once he said to stop meanwhile they never listened to anyone else despite death taking place. 4. Him basically being a cheat sheet to anyone in his vicinity (Gi Hun’s team) 5. And hinting that every game setting reminds him of his childhood But I overlooked all that and stopped suspecting him because of his stupid dementia and he was dead so it was ruled out in my book. BUT MAN!!! HE HAD US ALL FOOLED

[@LAtttiful]

Yea what made me overlook all that he had a brain tumor and the fact that he was super old. -I thought he was smiling because he enjoyed the game and had nothing to lose. -He voted to leave because even though he wanted to continue the game, it was unfair for him to decide. The younger people's still had a lot their life left to enjoy. -I thought the gaurd had a heart when the old man was begging. -i thought him knowing things was his strength and contribution to the team as a wise old man. What made me super suspicious was the town that looked like both of their home towns AND that we never saw him shot. But there was so much emotional warfare during that episode, I downplayed that idea.

[@junipersr]

I caught all that and more but ignored it at first, but then he was 'killed' off screen and I knew he had to be the one behind it.

[@spookycircuits455]

I remember I was half watching it with my mom and I guessed it after actually paying attention for an episode when he kept going on about his childhood matching up with like every game and my mom immediately went “You missed the first 3 episodes and this part where he was confused about the game” and I went “Yeah he probably faked that” and she went “Oh shit You’re probably right...” and spent the rest of the season watching for clues

Also, in the marbles game, the one not picked is spared. Being the only elder, he probably believed he would be the one left out and decided to spare the excluded player.

[@TheLankieMidget]

the star honeycomb "clue" wasn't that the star is super easy or anything, he went into the games fairly, competing with his life just like everyone else, which is why when that game is over he thanks Gi-hun afterwards for helping him complete it as he could have died right there... but Gi-hun treated him as a friend, hence why he gave up his marbles in game 4 its the same thing you said about the tug of war "they easily beat the other team" did you watch the same thing I did?... the characters point out that without that stepping forwards trick that Sang-Woo came up with they would have died again... because without the risk of dying the games weren't fun for him... so he wanted them to be real, which is why he competes as though hes a regular guy

Even if he is not locked with everyone else, could be dangerous if the others falling could accidentally drag in to his fall, because the others falling and getting pushed could take him too, if he wants to not go with the others he had to stay in the last position, so everyone will fall and he survives and leave the game so people won't be suspicious for him to come back alone by himself

[@mr.lightzplease9366]

When they all were choosing to end the games or not they went in reverse order so he would be the last one to choose. That way he gave them a chance to leave knowing they could die if they come back. The deaths then would be on them and not on him

[@stormlander]

Also, in the first episode when gi hun plays that game when he misses the train, that guy asks him blue or red and most likely if he chose red, he would become one of the guards.

I just finished my binge watch last night, so this is the first "clue review" I've watched! This was great! I did suspect the old guy had something to do with the game itself.

Great video, and thanks guys. You always kill it!

[@alchemira]

In EP5 where the cop is looking at the files, his brothers' shows that he was a police officer himself for 16 years, including the period where Gi-Hoon's friend got killed by the police during the strike. I think season 2 will be a prequel on the birth of the front man.

Il nam knew the odd one out would be safe that’s why he walked away and sat in corner. He would have probably chosen the last number immediately for the bridge. He could have also faked his death after that game if necessary

My theory for the glass stepping game is this. The one rule is you can't wear your shoes on the glass, so they were asked to take them off. What they all could've done, was simply have the shoes in their hands and throw each shoe at the platform and hope that it's enough to break the glass, and if it breaks, everyone survives.

2:44 With Gi-Hun's name, you guys are close. Your pronunciation of 'Gi' is pretty much correct -- it's a hard G with like a tiny K sound in there, Korean is tough that way, lol -- but the 'Hun' is pronounced as 'hoon' (like toon or loon).

[@JennieAhn]

The most accurate explanation so far! Well done, sir 👍👍 I confirm this as a native Korean speaker myself :D

Does Korean distinguish between long and short vowels or not? Because both loon and toon have pretty clear looooooong vowel sounds, which I can’t really hear when they say his name.

[@JennieAhn]

@ Gihoon is actually pronounced with a short "u" sound rather than the long "oo" sound. I just said it's closer to hoon because English speakers tend to pronounce hun with an "uh" sound as in honey. I hope this helps!

That clue with the Red Light, Green Light targeting system is BRILLIANT. The first time you see it, even if you notice that 001 isn’t targeted/green, you are told not to care or take note. He is so confident, smiling, and stops on a dime. I just assumed the robot knew he stopped and everyone else was scared, nervous, and shaking a little so it was checking further to see if they were going to make a full move. Because of how they setup him versus everyone else, I didn’t think twice about it. Idk, I think that’s super clever.

[@gjhyhfwj28ry3]

Love how genuine and insightful your reactions are. And it's pronounced Ki-Hoon.:))

[@MaytrixMan]

The fourth game is definitely the most interesting in context of the twist. I think the original version of the old man’s plan was to be the odd man out when players were pairing off. In that event, the odd man out would have been “eliminated” which would have allowed him to the leave the game quietly without suspicion. Since he was selected by Gi-hun, he had to change the plan and feigned the dementia. I think the purpose of that was to drag the game out til the last second and then allow Gi-hun to win. If he hadn’t of done that and lost against Gi-Hun while other teams were still playing, it wouldn’t have been suspicious to those teams that he wasn’t shot like everyone else and a player from each of those teams would survive to be able to tell the others creating further issues.

[@kmj1459]

i love squid game's attention to detail i am gonna miss this show

[@suirogerg9603]

My suspicion grew from ep 7, when I saw the figure and gesture of the leader with the golden owl mask somehow resembled Il-Nam's fragile body, I was suddenly remembering that we never actually saw his death and I was wondering why we were only able to see the leader after the 6th game. Also the leader seemed to be already there in the island (although we only learned about his presence in the 7th episode, but his suits and golden mask were always there in the frontman's room from the early episode) yet even the the cop couldn't find him when he searched the frontman's room.. Finally, when the leader chose not to show up to greet the other VIPs for no apparent reason made me almost certain that Il-Nam is the big boss. I guess the director had to "hide" him because of his unique features, I mean it would be too easy for the viewers to notice him if he made too much appearance on screen even with his golden mask on..

[@reginare9145]

don't forget how the players died, there was a clue too. first, sang-woo, in the early episode, he tried to kill himself in the bathtub wearing a suit and drenched. on the day he died, wearing a suit and getting wet in the rain. second, the large tattooed man, there was a scene when he tried to run escape by jumping off the bridge, and on his death, he died from falling off the glass bridge. third, sae-byok, in the early episode there was a scene where she put a knife to a man's neck, and at death she was killed with a knife through his neck

First of all, I’m not Korean and am not fluent in Korean. But I learned it a bit, know how to read and write it, as I’ve been invested in Korean culture for a few years cause of Kpop/kdramas and is in love with learning languages. I’d like to say your pronunciation of Gihun is pretty okay in this video, The ㄱ in the Korean alphabet is most commonly used as a G but it’s possible for a K as well, like for example the name Kim in Korean is also written with ㄱ (김). So a bit of the combination of the G&K sound is the most accurate way on how to pronounce ㄱ words like Gihun. But a simple G sound is already great.

It seemed really odd to me that the front man picked that moment to stop the fighting and I really did think he did it on Il-nam's request. I immediately forgot about it afterwards, but at least it was on my mind at the time.

9:25 Important fact also - even if his strategy wouldn't work - he actually was the only one that was not bound to the line, so ultimately he would survive.

[@Sorozatfuggoseg]

8:56 guards were not flipping the beds, other players were doing that to kill the others and use metal parts as weapons 😂

[@tonytsai1913]

Fun perception: 001’s name (if written in Chinese characters) is “一男” (pronounced Yi Nan in Chinese or Il Nam in Korean), which literally means “the first male.”

[@nikkisadanceingstar]

Thank you!!!!!! I cant believe more people aren't talking about this.

[@tashadurrahman]

That probably explains why the old man tells his name at the very end

When player 001(old man) gave his jacket(001) to Gi-hun, its like passing the torch to him as he think Gi-Hun will be the winner of this game.

[@jackdonohue7893]

4:04 Yes! I actually caught this one!

[@KingEDZKY]

Things missing in here: In the tug of war game, he only has the cuffs but no locks. In the marble game, he completely made himself look like he gave up on life so no one will pick him, thus leaving him to be the only one who supposedly won't get picked, so the players will assume that he's dead when he's escorted out, reason why the soldiers didn't do anything to Min-yeo 'coz that's what was supposed to happen to Il-nam. I know Gi-hun is really a kind hearted guy but I really feel like even Il-nam didn't expect that Gi-hun will still pick him, hence the reaction like he didn't expect it, then when Il-nam played in the marble game, knowing that it could be his real last game, he used his knowledge and experience, reason why Gi-hun was losing right from the start until Gi-hun cheated and him riding with it. For me, among all the hidden details, the one from the red light, green light game is the best one, it's good that they made it look like the doll excluded him but the fact that they made a logic that the doll will also not include the ones in his vicinity so he will really not get hurt in case the ones beside him move, just damn, that was sooo goooood.

[@goblins_workshop]

Something no one seems to have catch in all the breakdown videos I watched (Heavy spoiler, NewRockstar, french you tubers etc) is that there was another major clue during the marble game! When Il-Nam was searching for his home and finally found it, next to the door you can see a plate. In real life, you always have the name of the owner, or something like that however on this plate what do you have? A square, a circle and a triangle... the three shapes from the card for the game... so Il-name's house is the house of the game master....

[@khrabry]

Congrats on 900k sorry if this is late I haven’t been paying attention.

[@harperclarke4160]

On the Tug of war, the old man has locks on his chains like everybody else, but at the end of the game when they lie flat on the pedestal thing, his locks were gone while others still have theirs. I thinks it's a safety feature to ensure that he wouldn't fall.

[@claranguyen2738]

Thought you'd watch the Erik voss one on squid game too lol

[@fransuke12]

The shapes in the workers mask represents the letters from the Korean Alphabet. 🔴 = O 🔺️ = J 🟥 = M Forms OJM which is the original name for Squid Game. ( Ojingeo Geim )

[@overchipz]

1) They didnt win the tug war only because of Il Nam...it was mostly because of the whole "three steps forward" part So the idea that any team with him would win is wrong 2) He didnt give Gi hun the marble because he was scared to keep playing..he did it simply because he was grateful that Gi hun played with him. He says this in the ending

[@davelanger]

Something he missed. The way everyone died was foreshadowed during the series if you watch closely.

[@stevefromhighschool4361]

Congrats on 900k

[@deejay95219]

the main cast of squid games previously played a lot of villainous characters. and in the squid game series, he plays a hilarious character. for the second series he will probably play a hero character to solve a problem on the spot.

[@Menjadibijak1213]

Ppl that comeback to play is 93% and front man said to watch who don't If there'll be S2, I hope the other 7% who don't comeback would be in the series 🤣🤣😂

[@sakthi135]

It may seems too much to think. But I think, Hero is the son of the Old Man. Have few points to say it. 1) Hero and his mom not talked about his dad, also he s the only child. Just like that old man also talked about his son only not about his wife or other kids. 2) On 3 or 4th episode, when hero says not want milk, old man says his son also did the same in his childhood. 3) On 6th episode, when that old man says that set looks like his home area, hero says his childhood home also looks like this. 4) On the same episode, old man says after he come back from home, he hide and watches that his son playing with his friends, session's 1st episode's opening scene, young age hero plays with his friends. 5) On episode 2, all other players come back willingly whereas old man met hero and makes him to think about the returning (Why he want to meet only hero among all other 200 participants) 6) Hero getting the last no. is may not be coincidence, as old man may wanted him as notable. 7) Episode 6, hero gives his jacket 456 to old man, but while returning back old man gives his jacket 001 on intentionally. So that, the front man may monitor and protect him. 8) this one is very much interested. The last 6th game is Squid game which hero is very much good in it as they shown on 1st episode's opening scene. Old man may designed this game as last to give the winning chance to hero. 9) Finay, Why old man may selected his own son and put it to this dangerous game? Hero's wife left him and took their kid as he is not capable to run the family. Hero got into this game for his child (daughter). Maybe Old man also faced this with his wife (hero's mom) in earlier days as being irresponsible or selfish. On his final moments (after came to know about his brain tumor), he may realized something and So to help his son indirectly, he may made him to join the game and for his safety, he also may entered in it.

여기 리액션 맛집이네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@Hans_Blake]

456 also has meaning. In the first episode, there is a horse racing game, and the horse chosen by Sung Ki-hoon is number 456. As you can see 456 number horse fell behind, but later came first. Gi-Hun also fall behind at first, but in the last episode, he took no1. So the number 456 horse means Seong Gi-Hun.

[@anyela443]

Other thing: In episode 7, when they find one marble in the 001’s pocket. All 20 marbles were supposed to be given to the red suit 👀

[@식빵의가능성]

11:34 Perhaps many viewers didn't know. Gihun also became a host and played games watching others die

[@a.snoozy]

Congrats on 900k guys🔥

[@thesoonyoungtohoshi0615]

*I am not sure if anyone already pointed these out here or somewhere, but here are my tell-tale signs that Il Nam was the character to watch out for:* *1.)* When he found Gee Hun outside of the convenience store, drinking. The “Squid Game” syndicate’s impressive _(but scary)_ tracking and checking abilities allowed him to be where exactly Gee Hun was and talk to him about returning to the game right at the precise moment when Gee Hun’s mind was flying around because he was in a super dire situation _(the police didn’t believe him, and his mum needed to be hospitalized, etc.)._ *2.)* Him not sleeping because he said he was keeping watch just in case another nighttime riot breaks out; I don’t think he did it for the team; he did it for himself, to keep himself safe. The first riot was planned; it was part of the game that was why he was so complacent, even taking naps while his team was busy discussing making plans to protect themselves. And since it was planned, he could put himself into safety and away from the chaos. If another riot happened, that would be unplanned and put him on the spot and in grave danger. *3.)* Before the Tug-of-War game, when Sang Woo said to the team to recruit 5 more, Il Nam came back without a recruit. I don’t think it was because no one wanted to be on his team. I think he just didn’t make much effort to recruit because he knew all along that no matter what happened, the teams would each have 10 members. After all, there was an even total number of players. The same goes during the _Gganbu_ game. He didn’t make an effort to partner with somebody because he had options. Let’s say he was not chosen. That could easily give him the ticket to exit the game and make it appear as the soldiers killed him. But since he was chosen, he played the whole charade with Gee Hun. In short, both options lead him to avoid the Glass Bridge game.

[@hazelmaple]

There is a part two to this video that even corrects one of murals was actually for marbles not the three at the table

[@sruticranjith5194]

If u zoom in il nam is also not properly chained to the rope in tug of war like the others

"il" on il-nam's name means number 1
