POP Oh Il-Nam 001 (Squid Game)

It is difficult to remember the name of this character in the sense that Seong Gi-Hun insists on calling him "the old man". Indeed, the two men, from the first trial, will share an almost instant complicity. The indolence of Seong Gi-Hun will harmonize wonderfully with the temperament of this shy and reserved old man to whom he owes his life. Like the other candidates, Oh Il-Nam presents himself as a man heavily in debt and suffering from a degenerative disease that will cause his death soon. In order not to be a burden to his family, he will participate in the Squid Game hoping to help them before he dies by getting the reward he covets like the others.

Oh Il-Nam is number 001. He is the very first candidate admitted to the Squid Game session that will be played during the season. Because of his advanced age, almost 80 years old, he is the senior of the competition. This often results in him being ignored by other candidates when it comes to putting together a team of players. However, Seong Gi-Hun's unwavering trust in him will enable him to survive longer from one round to the next with the help of his comrades.

However, the Squid Game is treacherous and the final lesson is that you can't trust anyone. Not even the most innocent; for innocence has no place in the macabre children's games played here.

It is not only thanks to the protection and benevolence of Seong Gi-Hun and his friends that Oh Il-Nam owes his survival. Although his age makes him less fit for physical competitions, the old man shows an amazing wisdom which, on more than one occasion, will allow him to save various candidates. The tug-of-war competition, in which strength is usually the main criterion, is an opportunity for him to show his cunning. It is to him that Seong Gi-Hun and his friends owe their survival. Although he doesn't look like much, this old man has more than one trick up his sleeve. You never know what he's thinking, hiding his thoughts behind awkward giggles.

The Oh Il-Nam 001 Funko POP figure does not fail to present him as he is during the events of Squid Game. Less casual than the other candidates, older too, we see with the Oh Il-Nam 001 POP figure that the character is particularly old. He wears his green and white uniform - decorated with the number 001 - with the zipper of his jacket pulled up to his throat.

In this posture, the Oh Il-Nam 001 figure presents him slightly slumped like the old man he is. With a thin mustache and gray hair, not to mention his wrinkles, the Oh Il-Nam 001 Funko POP offers all the details of the character's age. Even the black eyes seem to reflect his dilated pupils. Despite his age, we can guess his sparkling mischief that makes him such an unforgettable character. Among other reasons.
