Ever since her first appearance inSquid Game, she has caught the attention of fans globally.
From her courageous personality to her bold persona, Hyun-ju is the real MVP of Season 2 ofSquid Game.
But after alerting them of the danger that they were all in, everyone obeyed Gi-hun’s directions.
However, on occasion, a few players ended up missing the mark and moved.
In one player’s case, a dead body fell on him, causing him to move.
While a strong team, all the players found themselves stressed out.
Not to mention, she knocked some sense into Seon-nyeo when she began to freak out too much.
One such conviction of Hyun-ju’s was continuing the game.
7Remained Loyal to Her Comrades
In Squid Game, there are always factions and friends.
Hyun-ju was a defiantly loyal friend to her comrades and fellow competitors.
For the first group she formed, she made sure to help protect them during the games.
In cases like these, Hyun-ju made sure to gather her friends and secure them a room.

6Never Judged a Single Contestant
Hyun-ju was very familiar with prejudice and discrimination.
Because of the prejudice she faced, Hyun-ju never judged anyone.
She operated in silence, befriending contestants and helping everyone survive.

When games got difficult, she offered a supporting hand.
When players got scared or terrified, she remained understanding.
5Didn’t Judge Dae-ho for His Misgivings
The final episode ofSquid GameSeason 2 was an intense one.

When Gi-hun requests for backup and additional ammo, Dae-ho volunteers himself.
Terrified and out of ammo himself, Dae-ho races back to the sleeping quarters and gathers the ammo.
Unfortunately, he becomes too anxiety-ridden to return to his post and instead hides in the bunker of beds.

Rather, she goes to collect the ammo without criticizing Dae-ho.
Mingle was about grouping up with a number of contestants and gathering inside a room.
For the most part, Young-mi and Hyun-ju stuck together, almost like glue.

Hyun-ju was protective over Young-mi, and the two shared a sister-like relationship.
Hyun-ju noticed, and she immediately went to grab her.
Unfortunately, Myungi-gi (Yim Siwan) knocked into Hyun-ju and closed the door behind him.

It’s been his main priority ever since he revolunteered for Squid Game.
However, he had very few chances to do so due to the restrictions placed on the contestants.
Then, toward the end of the season, Gi-hun comes up with a plan.

All around, Gi-hun’s plan sounds insanely crazy.
Then, the idea was that the contestants would raid the entire building until they found the Frontman.
Unsurprisingly, Hyun-ju was ready to throw down.

Without her, Gi-hun probably would not have made it as far as he did.
Remaining hopeful, she makes her way back to the sleeping quarters, searching for Dae-ho along the way.
After learning that he was unharmed physically, she goes to retrieve the ammo for her team.

Everyone else had been gunned down, though she was not aware of this at the time.
Instead of backing down, Hyun-ju was prepared to take on all the Pink Soldiers herself.
No other character comes close to Hyun-ju.
