Cho Sang-woo is a SNU Business graduate from Ssangmun-Dong. He is often called as ‘pride and
joy of Ssangmun-Dong’ for graduating as a valedictorian.
Though he may have killed Ali and Saebyeok, he is the most strategic and intelligent character among Squid
Game characters. His choices were not the best to describe his character as a whole but it definitely worked to survive this life-or-death
game.
Although
people may think he was a backstabber because of what he had done, he was the same person who helped Ali outside of Squid
Game when the first game ended. As for Gi-Hun, Sang-woo helped him by lending him money ( which was returned by Gi Hun at the end of the show ). So, we can’
t entirely blame his actions. The real villain here is the creator of Squid
Game - Oh Ilnam.
P.S. we have to admit Sangwoo and Gi-hun must have been in a relationship once because of the way they seem to care about each other
