The VIPs

Character from Squid Game by Hwang Dong-hyuk

The golden-masked billionaires who fund the games for sport — men so bored by their limitless wealth that they need to watch desperate people die to feel anything.

Also known as: The Hosts, Golden Masks

What They Know

• Ultra-wealthy international business magnates who originally invested through Oh Il-nam's financial firm
• Fund the Squid Games as entertainment — bet on player outcomes like a sporting event
• Each wears a golden animal mask: Lion, Bull, Deer, Panther, Bear — symbols of predatory power
• Watch from a private lounge overlooking the arenas, separated from the violence by glass and wealth
• The games exist because these men exist — without their funding and appetite, the machine stops
