Which Squid Game Character Are You?

If you’ve binged Squid Game, you’ve definitely asked yourself this question:
“Would I survive?”
And right after that?
“Wait...am I a Gi-hun or a Sang-woo?”

We get it. More than a series, Squid Game is an emotional rollercoaster of betrayal, hope, survival, and that haunting playground music still echoing in your brain. You might’ve watched it with your jaw on the floor or eyes peeking through your fingers; one thing’s for sure: these characters left a mark.

So, let’s play a little game of our own (don’t worry, no one’s getting eliminated). Ready to find out which Squid Game character is basically your alter ego? Let’s go.

Gi-hun – The Underdog with a Big Heart

If you're the kind of person who trips over their own shoelaces but still stops to help someone else up, you might just be our sweet (but slightly chaotic) Gi-hun.

Sure, he starts off broke, a bit lost, and definitely not Dad of the Year, but Gi-hun’s journey is all about rediscovering his moral compass in a world where morals can get you killed. He’s flawed, but aren’t we all?

You are Gi-hun if:

• You believe in second chances
• You wear your heart on your sleeve
• You’d risk it all for the people you love (even if you don’t always make the smartest choices)

 Sang-woo – The Mastermind (with questionable morals)

Oh, Sang-woo. So composed. So smart. So... heartbreaking. If you’re the strategic one in your friend group, the one who’s always five steps ahead, you might just be channelling your inner Sang-woo.

He’s not evil. He’s just... practical. And sometimes ruthless. But his story is one of the most complex and, let’s face it, deeply human. That constant tension between survival and morality? That’s the Sang-woo special.

You are Sang-woo if:

• You always have a backup plan
  
• You hate losing (like, really hate it)
  
• You’re not afraid to make tough decisions even if it haunts you later
  
  

Pro tip: Rock that VIP villain energy with accessories that say, “I’m here to win, not make friends.”

Sae-byeok – The Quiet Rebel with a Purpose

Cool. Mysterious. Fiercely loyal. If you’re more “observe first, speak later”, then welcome to Team Sae-byeok. She doesn’t need many words to make an impact; her presence alone says it all.

She’s fighting for something bigger than herself, and even when things get messy, she stays true to her goal. She’s not here for drama. She’s here to survive with dignity.

You are Sae-byeok if:

• You’re independent to a fault
  
• You’d do anything for your family
  
• You prefer silence over small talk
  
  

Style suggestion: Keep it minimal but meaningful; that lets everyone know you’re not to be messed with.

Il-nam – The Enigma in Disguise

Plot twist! If you’ve always been “the quiet one” but secretly enjoy watching chaos unfold (while sipping tea), you just might be the mysterious Il-nam.

At first glance, he’s just the lovable old man who’s too pure for this brutal game. But oh boy, that twist. If you're low-key a mastermind hiding behind a smile, this one’s for you.

You are Il-nam if:

• You enjoy playing devil’s advocate
• People always underestimate you
• You love puzzles, games, and a bit of mischief
  
  

Are You a Red Light, Green Light Doll?

Maybe you’re not any of the players. Maybe you are the game. If you’re always watching, always judging, and definitely the person your group turns to for setting the rules. You might just be the creepy-yet-iconic Red Light, Green Light Doll. You legend.

So… Who Are You?

Are you all heart like Gi-hun, brainy (and a bit broken) like Sang-woo, strong and silent like Sae-byeok, or full of hidden layers like Il-nam? There’s a piece of you in Squid Game.

And hey, while you’re reflecting on your inner player (or game master), why not wear it with pride? Check out our Squid Game merchandise collection and let the world know you’ve chosen your character. And you’re ready to play.

No elimination here, just epic fandom vibes.
