Who Died In Squid Game Season 1?

The fourth game is also shrouded in mystery, and the players are instructed to pair up without knowing why. However, there is an odd number of players, and the remaining contestant is an erratic woman named Han Mi-nyeo (Kim Joo-ryoung), who is whisked away by game officials to an unknown fate.

Each player then gets a bag of marbles, and the contestants are told to play any marble game of their choosing. At the end of 30 minutes, the player with the majority of their marbles wins, and their opponent is eliminated. Again, tons of players are killed off during this game, including several of the main characters.

Before they play their match, Player 240 tells Sae-byeok her real name, Ji-yeong, because they start bonding as they tell each other their personal stories. Ji-yeong ends up letting Sae-byeok win so she can reunite with her family after the competition, and Ji-yeong is eliminated. Deok-su ruthlessly beats his opponent, who also happens to be one of his henchmen called Player 278 (Kwak Ja-hyoung). Sang-woo gets close to losing, but he tricks the good-natured Ali into giving him all of the marbles, and Ali is also killed off.

Gi-hun uses Player 001's deteriorating state of mind against him and tricks him so he can win. Before losing, however, 001 confesses he knew Gi-hun was tricking him the whole time, but he still lets the younger man win. As Gi-hun guiltily walks away, we hear a gunshot, signifying 001's elimination.
