Personality

Calm, serious, tender, empathical, leader, femenine, analitic, intelectual, a bit insecure (Hyun-ju appears caring towards every player except Seon-nyeo, to which she seems annoyed by her religious breakdowns. She is also very brave, such as when she risked her own life to help a man with Gi-hun during Red Light, Green Light.

History (Early)

Not much is known of Hyun-ju's early years and pre-transition, outside of how much support she got from her family and friends. Growing up, Hyun-ju often played games such as ddakji with her friends, which she was particularly good at. As an adult, Hyun-ju joined the army and rose through the ranks to become a staff sergeant. When Hyun-ju began her transition as a woman, she was abruptly fired from her job and ostracized by her family and friends. With no steady income or social support, Hyun-ju started going into debt. She continued her transition and began developing trust issues. At some point, she moved out to Gwangmyeong.

History (Present)

With her debt standing at ₩330 million, Hyun-ju decided to participate in the Squid Games, with the ultimate goal of winning enough money to move to Thailand and finish getting the surgeries which would complete her transition.
