The Number 456: Gi-hun’s Journey and Fate (3/19)

The number 456, which is Seong Gi-hun’s (the protagonist’s) player number, is one of the most significant symbols in the series. On the surface, it’s just an arbitrary number assigned to the contestants, but it actually carries great symbolic meaning. Gi-hun is the 456th and final player to enter the game, and his number highlights his status as an underdog—someone who, in the eyes of society, has been written off.
