Thanos

Thanos aka Choi aka Player 230 is a 6'0 korean man with short messy purple hair and brown undercut. He has blue eyes but they often look black due to always being on drugs. Prior to Choi Su-bong's entry in the Squid Game in 2024, he gained fame as a rapper under the stage name "Thanos". At some point, he won second place in a rap battle tournament called "Rap Battlegrounds", missing first place after forgetting his lyrics. He was also an avid fan of YouTuber Lee Myung-gi, and claims to have watched every video posted under his channel "MG Coin". When Myung-gi began promoting a new cryptocurrency called "Dalmatian", Thanos decided to invest all the money he had made from rapping (which was around ₩500 million) into the coin. Unfortunately, the cryptocurrency turned out to be a scam, and he would fall into a debt totaling ₩1.19 billion. Feeling like his life was over, Thanos went to the Han River Bridge to kill himself before being stopped by a recruiter who offered him a chance to win all his money back after a game of ddakji. Thinking that the opportunity was some sort of divine intervention, Thanos entered the Squid Games in a last-ditch effort to start a new life and make his mother proud. Waking up in the Squid Game dormitory, Thanos is one of the first players who complain to a game manager. He bemoans that the staff took away his limited edition shoes, and that they will have to replace them if they get ruined. Before the first game begins, Thanos quickly bonds with Nam-gyu over their shared hatred of Myung-gi. As the contestants are signing consent forms, the two spot the former YouTuber in the crowd and confront him about the money they have lost because of his investment advice. When Myung-gi defends himself, Thanos angrily states that he had told them to "bet it all" on the cryptocurrency "Dalmatian" before grabbing him by the collar. He is then stopped by Nam-gyu who tells him to calm down and that people are watching them. Just before leaving, the rapper warns Myung-gi that he "better do well because [he is] coming to get [his] money back." When the game does begin, Mi-na is the first to move after Thanos told her there was a bee on her neck and complimented her. She gets shot directly in the head. After she is shot, he appears visibly terrified as his eyes remained focused on the ground, most likely where Min-na's body is. During the next couple of green lights, Thanos is seen hurriedly taking out his cross necklace and swallowing one of the many colorful pills it contains.The drug appears to have an instantaneous effect as Thanos' demeanor suddenly changes to a carefree one afterwards. He pushes three players in front of him with an amused expression, and even smiles as they are all shot, going as far as to say a mocking "bye" once they are all killed. His newfound excitement remains even as the game continues, and more players are killed. In the following green lights, Thanos is seen swinging his hands in the air while jumping multiple times, and even doing a heel click in one particular instance. He had won the squid games, winning all the money.
