What is 240 and 067 squid game?

240 is one of the episodes of the South Korean Netflix series Squid Game, which became a worldwide sensation in 2021. The episode features the two main characters, Sang-woo and Gi-hun, competing in the tug-of-war game, where teams of players need to pull a rope until the other side falls into a pit of water. The episode is particularly intense and emotional as the players' lives depend on the game's outcome, and the losing team is eliminated from the Squid Game.

On the other hand, 067 is the number assigned to one of the players in the Squid Game, named Cho Sang-woo. Cho is one of the main characters in the series and becomes a strategic partner to the protagonist, Gi-hun, as they try to survive the games and win the cash prize. Cho is a former stockbroker with a troubled past and struggles with his conscience as the games get more challenging and violent. He becomes an anti-hero figure as his actions are both self-serving and honorable, depending on the situation. Cho's number, 067, is significant as it represents his identity throughout the rest of the series and his journey to redemption.
