Oh Il-nam (001): zodiac sign and birth chart
Oh Il-nam has no canon birthday. Squid Game never gives one for Player 001. Read from his personality, he's a Taurus: Sun, Moon and Mercury in the same sign, the gentle old man who plays the games like a kid. A Scorpio rising is why you never learn everything going on in his head.

Taurus Mercury says it slowly and simply. One word, "gganbu," carries a whole friendship.

- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeSagittarius
Sagittarius Mars treats danger like a game. He plays the deadliest show on earth with a grin.
What canon does give: the oldest player, with a sweet smile and a love for old street games. A Taurus answer is comfort and routine, and a Scorpio rising adds the part you don't see.
