Il-nam knew exactly how to win Tug of War
Except for one old guy and three females, everyone on our heroes’ team was a young man in episode four of Squid Game. It appeared that they would be eliminated when it was revealed that they had to play Tug of War and their team included three women and one elderly man – but Il-nam knew the correct technique to victory.

According to legend, he won the championships in three different countries. He claims that he discovered the best method while playing tug of war as a youngster, but it’s conceivable that as the creator of the games, he also learned a lot by watching how other top teams have played over time.
