Hwang In-ho Quotes

Seong Gi-hun: We have to hide until the fight ends. Don’t get caught up in the fight.

Park Jung-bae (390): But that would put people on our side at quite a disadvantage. Without us in the fight, they’ll be outnumbered.

Seong Gi-hun: I know. But if we fight with them and some of us end up dead or injured, it will ruin our entire plan. We can’t beat those b*stards with a lower headcount.

Oh Young-il (001): Are you suggesting that we make a small sacrifice for the greater good?

Seong Gi-hun: If we miss this opportunity, the sacrifice will be even greater. Even if it takes a sacrifice… we must put an end to this game now.

Player 047: Attacking them first would give us a better chance of winning.

Player 145: I agree.

Seong Gi-hun: We can’t do that.

Oh Young-il (001): But we have to get out of here. You said it yourself. Staying calm won’t get us anywhere now.

Seong Gi-hun: That doesn’t mean we should kill each other. That’s exactly what they want us to do.

Park Jung-bae (390): “They”?

Seong Gi-hun: The ones who created this game. The ones who watch us play. If we’re going to fight someone, it should be them.

Seong Gi-hun: If you had pressed the X, everyone here would’ve made it out alive.

Oh Young-il (001): That’s right. I was the last to press the O button. But there were 182 more people who wanted to stay.

Seong Gi-hun: And there were also 182 people who wanted to leave.

Oh Young-il (001): Let’s say I pressed X and we all left. Would everyone have been happy? Do you think if they ran into me later, they’d thank me for saving their lives and tell me they’re happy now?

The Front Man: Have you seen The Matrix? They could’ve lived in peace if they took the blue pill. But they still chose the red pill to play the heroes. Do you also think you’re a hero who can change the world?

Seong Gi-hun: I’ll show you that the world… doesn’t always go the way you want it to.

Seong Gi-hun: “That’s just how the world is, so just shut up and accept it?” That’s a story created by people like you. You think people are just horses in a race, and you own the horses.

The Front Man: Your way with words has improved. So? Is your plan to convince the owners of the horses? To stop the race?

The Front Man: What do you want from me?

Seong Gi-hun: Stop the game.

The Front Man: The game?

Seong Gi-hun: The game you’ve been playing. The game that’s still going on to this day.

The Front Man: All we did was create it. All of you participated by choice.

Seong Gi-hun: Don’t give me that sh*t. You manipulate people who feel like they’re at a dead end. You drive them to their deaths and enjoy it. You think if you just call it their own choice, your filthy game will become some sort of charity event?

The Front Man: They were all just losers of the game. Trash eliminated from the competition. A ton of new trash is being poured into the world as we speak. You still don’t see, do you? The game will not end unless the world changes.
