I see this scene as a way of him shaking off guilt of what he is doing. He is doing this prove to himself and others that people who fall for the games CHOOSE it for themselves. They choose to ruin themselves to play the game, that they throw away opportunities like the bread to feed themselves for games and money. He isn't a psychopath who feels nothing. Rather, he is a man trying to justify his deeds.
The line at 1:57 is actually more comedic. A direct translation is as follows. "Ah, I had a poop dream today." (In Korea, dreaming about poop is often interpreted as a sign of financial fortune.) So, the man next to him frowned after that line. Because he said he had a dream about poop.
Thats the thing! When i first saw this scene i thought he was using it as a test to determine who he should recruit for the games. But no, he was just having fun. Thats ok though
this makes me kinda want to see Gong Yoo in a full villain role for another series/movie, never thought he could play this kind of role this good, remind me of Kim Jaewook.
the guy who chose the bread seemed way more put-together than the others. His nails were clean, and he looked like he still made an effort with basic hygiene, almost as if he carried a sense of responsibility despite his situation. It’s subtle, but it really stood out.
That guy is actually dumb though. It makes way more sense to take the lottery ticket because at least the lottery ticket is a zero risk chance of turning your life around. The bread will only satisfy you for an hour, but a winning lottery ticket can change your life.
@ It’s about the principle. The whole squid game concept is based on human greed. People valuing money over the necessities. Why do you think this scene even existed….? I think you’re missing the point. Yes, you’re right, if one of them wins, they probably win a large chunk of money, by that logic, why doesn’t everyone spend a portion of their paycheck on a scratcher. Food is a necessity for survival, a scratcher is not.
@@tyedrichill8097 this is a gambler's mindset which is dumb and he was the only practical guy in the whole park of vagrants. It's insanely stupid to pick a chance over a basic necessity of the human body. Like what is a ticket going to do for him if it's a losing ticket? It cant feed him, and he's just gonna be hungry.

I think he do this to make people realise they should change their mentality. Inside he wants people to stops themselves from falling into these traps without actually exposing the truth about the games so that the game makers doesn't kill him
A psychopath does not feel guilt or empathy. This scene was clearly trying to prove people wrong, and that he was in the right. This was done because he was sadistic, which is called dark tetrad personality disorder. If anything, he was once poor just like them. What he did to his father when he realized he was a psychopath. That callus on his hands is when he's sadistic and slaps people across their face. He was perfectly suited to be the salesman for squid games. He did not have to do this. He's not recruiting anyone. He's only doing this for fun because he is sadistic.
oh when i saw a whole ass family rolled up in chrysler 300, their grown ass kid was wearing an affliction shirt on his latest phone, dad ordered some hot food with food stamp and mom ordered a WHOLE ROLL of scratch off. absolutely disgusting.
God I used to work overnights and the amount of people who would just play it like another spin on the slots was astounding. Had a guy come in, blow $150, win $20, constantly make comments of "oh man my wife is gonna kill me for this" and then proceeded to blow another $200. Just... I get it, I got a gambling addiction but I'm not blowing basic necessity money on a long shot of a chance.
Most interesting part is that this is on his personal time, he is not paid or expected to do the bread or lottery. This is just his personal hobby that he does as his personal game and human behavior observation that he uses to reinforce his disdain for people. And he is not wrong for his reaction based on what he knows seeing how people at their lowest are there for a reason and usually because of their own hands or even if by external forces just give up and don't even care anymore and look for any source of instant gratification.
Nah, he is just doing this to inhale copium for all the things that he does - not all poor people end up like that becuz of themselves. Yes they have reasons but not always cuz of their own hands.
@LoneWolf-qb7ds that's just it, it is a test a person's needs versus desires. The scratcher has less than a1% chance at winning while the bread will at least fill their stomach. Plus those who chose the ticket show a habit of poor financial planning which infers thats what got them into that kind of situation. Think of the story of the prisoner who chooses the bread over the key type of scenario.
For the person that picked bread, good for you. Plus there is still some fresh but smashed up bread, but still perfectly safe to eat in their plastic covered over there.

I know the frontman is basically the head of the squid game and control the place but the recruiter is the literally doing this social experiment for *fun* when his off-work. I may not be a doctor but I think that guy is not mentally stable
This is brilliant at reinforcing the overall theme of the show. Those people either got there because they threw their own lives away to chase fortune, or got there by unfortunate circumstances. However it ultimately comes to a choice, do you choose survival or risk it all for a chance of earning money. Also I grew up with homeless people and let me tell you a lot of them will definitely choose the lottery ticket over food, cause they’ll just leech off someone else’s kindness than to do the right thing and choose food.
That’s a very on the surface analysis that doesn’t do the show justice by any means. Typically poor people are poor from the start since birth - (sure you can make it out of being poor but those who are poor were poor from the get go) but they’ve learned to survive with nothing. A honeybun means nothing but a lottery ticket is a potential means for escape. However, like the lotto game or the squid game the odds will always be extremely low. In society, living in the debt they have with nowhere to go (referred to as trash throughout the show), death is not a scary option for a lot of them. That says something. An entirely manufactured situation. The show is actually arguing something to quite the opposite effect.
This is a low IQ analysis. The bread will only feed them for a day, however the lottery ticket has the potential to change their lives. It probably costs a lot more as well.
@@LoneWolf-qb7ds you know that you have more chances to get hit by lightning than winning a lottery? in risk factor picking that lottery is bad pick because it’s nearly impossible to win that is what the lottery is… it just give you false hope and the owner of that lottery only profited in your “hope” of winning .The house always wins. When you choose bread it give u food for a day and save u money that u can used for many things but here’s the thing it all about perspective for the poor the ticket is the reasonable choice because of their lack of knowledge to the statistics behind the lottery and that is what the recruiter doing preying on the lack of knowledge and getting to their dopamine rush that cost to his amusement…
this is a piss poor example. if they don’t get a piece of bread, oh well it’s only food for lunch? a lottery ticket can save them from homelessness entirely. also what about all the homeless veterans? what about people homeless from birth? it’s so easy to say “poor people caused everything that happened to them” but the world isn’t that simple.
This scene is very impactful as this explains how much greed is inside the people over food, this scene literally made me think that salesman was once a good guy and he lost someone in greed!
He hated poor people because he mentioned that his father was a Squid Game player while playing Russian Roulette with Gi-Hun. He also elaborated his past as well. I suspect that the Recruiter has already been broken mentally, and thus were hired to work as a Guard for Squid Game. After seeing his own father joining the game due to gambling debt or something and killing him, the people at the top deemed him worthy of becoming a recruiter for the game. If you wonder why most of the workers and guards for Squid Game are so batshit insane or broken, that’s probably why.
If I were one of those people I would have chose the lottery aswell. A piece of bread would've only satisfied my body for a couple of hours, but the lottery ticket has the very small chance for me to escape poverty. Sure the chances are very very very low but I'll have nothing to lose anyways, so why not take this opportunity.
@@sogekingggYeah but you can't be mad and upset when said bread gets destroyed because of the choice you made. People will look at this and get mad at the salesman when he bought it with his own money, so people have no reason to get mad UNLESS they have to acknowledge that, how people spend their money can be judged and dictated by other people and it applies to themselves as well
Hey guys MrBeast here and in todays video we will be giving out gifts to the homeless. But there’s a twist. Each homeless person has the option to choose between the nourishment of free food. Or risk it all on the mystery scratcher. Be sure to watch until the end and subscribe because the ending will shock you!😮
I’m not exactly on the same wavelength as the Salesman, but if I did have that mindset, I’d probably be happy for the one person who took the risk and won. Compare it to a bunch of guys running into a burning building to save a hamster. You’d be disappointed in every single on of them. But the one that does come out safe and with the hamster alive, you’d clap, even if that dude was just as moronic as all the other dudes who ran into the building
@RoachHater Funny. Isayama said Eren grew his hair because he no longer needs to worry what Mikasa thinks of his appearance. In anime form, Eren still looks sexy despite this. But if someone stole Eren's look in real life/live action like the guy here, they'd probably look like they're homeless!
Brilliant. Squid Game made a such an enigmatic iconic character, gave us a hint of his past and then killed him off in a way consistent with his character in episode one so he remains mysterious lmao 👏👏👏
This basically 1$ or mystery gift. This scene basically show how many of people based their perception of everything on luck because of faith, desperation, and greed make them easier to prey on people like Salesman.
He pretty much described the entire driving force behind the game; desperate people would rather take a big risk to have more than take the lesser amount what is handed to them for free. Every voting round in the games, it is either go home with a secure but less satisfying amount, or take a gamble and have a chance to pull in much more, but with no return if your gamble fails. The bread or the lottery ticket. Taking what is offered, or gambling away for a small chance of everything.
He’s not being an a hole tho, he gifted them either bread or a lottery ticket. Then criticized them for their foolish decisions. It’s not his fault that most of them chose the ticket and were left with nothing
Good thing he didn't slip on the bread. Those shoes, soft bread and plastic wraps are a recipe for slipping disaster. Shout out for the actor to do the scenes with such fervor.
1:35 anyone else notice the yellowy part of his hand? it's a subtle detail, I'm not sure if it's intentional for the character or a skin condition the actor has. It does make sense for the Salesman to have blisters on his hand considering all the slapping he does with ddakji
@@lukeahn0330 though the recruiter is right for saying they wasted the bread also they gambled another time of their life just to try win big but win nothing instead
@@lukeahn0330 With a gambling mindset that lottery win won't last for years. That's why you see many people who become rich fast also lose the money fast. Just look at for examples in NHL, NFL, NBA etc. Shaq is a somewhat uncommon example of someone who can make solid financial decisions.
This is game of hope, the homeless people who took the lottery are the ones that hope to win to leave their current state, while the people who took the bread wants something to eat for a meal and stay homeless. Either way, their life didn't change.
@Omkar_Inglegotta be the dumbest take ive seen. You clearly dont know about homeless academy. Where they teach you to be homeless and how lottos work. 🎉

So basically bread or lottery were like in the game were voting to leave the game or continue playing. And choosing bread/voting to leave the game was about saving your life. While choosing lottery/voting to continue the game was like a gambling addiction in the end, you're going to lose, so it's not worth it.
It's not a matter of survival and gambling with your life. Choosing bread means living a life of integrity, not being swept away by the greed of chance. Choosing to play the lottery is choosing to live a life of daily gambling rather than hard work. Just like Ki-hoon was living off of horse racing in season 1. He sees his life as doing his job every day and getting a fair price for his labor. That's his idea of a positive life. He thinks that the people he invites to play squid games are gambling-addicted scumbags. This is shown directly when he confronts Ki-hoon. He called Ki-hoon a lucky scumbag. He said that Ki-hoon winning first place in the previous squid contest was nothing more than winning the lottery.
"I'm not the one who threw the bread. It was you" -Salesman This makes sense when I watched it season 1 when losers die in the game or make players kill each other. Either just live your life for another day or more (bread) or throw them away for wealth and fortune (lottery)
As much he is a sadist, he does have a point. We always think of what we want and not what we need. We're all greedy humans. This scene made me question his morality.
Not really, though. Picking bread won't help them, they will still be poor and homeless. What they need actually is to win the lottery. If it was between a job or lottery, then yes they should choose a job, but bread won't help them
@GabrielMPaixao at least picking bread will benefit them in the short term. You have higher chances of being given food by strangers than winning the lottery. And that's the problem with them. Don't take little things for granted.
@@charliepeaThat may be true, but the choice here was between the bread or the lottery ticket. I think you actually give more reason to take the ticket, you can always received food another day. Nonetheless I can understand your point we shouldn’t take little things for granted.
@@abctalkies6981 You're missing the point. It's not entirely about the expected value (in which case bread is still higher) but also about the mindset. The person choosing the bread is most likely poor because of outside reasons. Maybe his house burned down, he had to spend all his earnings on some acute and extreme medical condition or something else. People choosing the scratcher most likely ended up being poor because of bad financial decisions (investing all their savings into memecryptos, betting horses or something else unnecessary).
I like how this scene is representative of the choices that the players can make. If they pick X, it's like picking bread. You may be miserable, but at least you will survive. If you pick O, it's like picking the lottery. You have a chance of making a lot of money and moving out of your current situation, but you also could just fucking die/starve.
the reason for it might be that hes just disappointed/enraged at the decision that the homeless people made, i mean at least that + he is like a psycho with a schadenfreude complex
@@Fusion_4000there is no correct answer. In fact, the lottery objectively is a better option, though the chance of winning might be even less than 1%, but if they actually win it could change their life. The bread, it may fill their stomach for a meal, but in the end they still go back to the same state they were before.
I think it's a one shot scene cause I know that guy wasn't supposed to be slipped a little, for me it's a little awkward but I guess it's good than decimating more bread
Am I alone in thinking that the scratchcard was objectively the better choice? Sure, one loaf of bread is nice, but it's only one meal. In a few hours' time, they will be back in the exact same position. Furthermore, these people can plainly obtain food (through begging, etc) since if they couldn't they'd be dead already. By contrast, the scratchcard has the potential to fundamentally change their lives forever. Yes, the chance of success is miniscule. However, the critical point is that it's being offered at no cost. (Normally, scratchcards are a bad deal because of the price you have to pay for them - however, here the recruiter has incurred the cost). In my view, a free chance of fundamental lifelong change probably beats one free meal.
The mysterious crow showing character in this scene seemed like he was breaking down or like that very interesting and one of best scenes way we see mc beat him at his own game as he shows that he lives up to the bloody game rules he made
Did you know that in squid game season 2 the scene where the Recruiter did the Bread and Lottery ticket experiment that those poor people were actually real poor people 💀 (This is just something some "did you know" youtube short would say as a joke im sure)
Taking into account that they are vagabonds, you really think that those people care what the food is on the floor or it’s dirty or a guy from there heavy on top but it’s more realistic than the food that was left over at the time put in a shredder or something like that

With little screen time this guy proved to be a more insane villain than any crazy person in the squid game.
Pretty sure this is just a normal day for Gong Yoo and the director liked it so much he just filmed Gong freestyling it
Bravo Hwang!
lmao
This scene is very impactful as this explains how much greed is inside the people over food, this scene literally made me think that salesman was once a good guy and he lost someone in greed!
He hated poor people because he mentioned that his father was a Squid Game player while playing Russian Roulette with Gi-Hun. He also elaborated his past as well.
I suspect that the Recruiter has already been broken mentally, and thus were hired to work as a Guard for Squid Game. After seeing his own father joining the game due to gambling debt or something and killing him, the people at the top deemed him worthy of becoming a recruiter for the game.
If you wonder why most of the workers and guards for Squid Game are so batshit insane or broken, that’s probably why.
How can someone with nothing be greedy? I’d argue it’s more about desperation and trusting in gambling
If I were one of those people I would have chose the lottery aswell. A piece of bread would've only satisfied my body for a couple of hours, but the lottery ticket has the very small chance for me to escape poverty. Sure the chances are very very very low but I'll have nothing to lose anyways, so why not take this opportunity.
@@sogekingggYeah but you can't be mad and upset when said bread gets destroyed because of the choice you made. People will look at this and get mad at the salesman when he bought it with his own money, so people have no reason to get mad UNLESS they have to acknowledge that, how people spend their money can be judged and dictated by other people and it applies to themselves as well
@@sogekinggg I would never choose lottery ticket just because I know the chances of winnings are 0.0001%

That’s what I noticed too. He has calluses, bro actually lifts dumbbells.

Hey guys MrBeast here and in todays video we will be giving out gifts to the homeless. But there’s a twist. Each homeless person has the option to choose between the nourishment of free food. Or risk it all on the mystery scratcher. Be sure to watch until the end and subscribe because the ending will shock you!😮
Lmaoooo your writing is so funny and good
Imagine if one of those homeless people actually won the lotto jackpot. I wonder how the salesman would respond lol.
He will congratz him... He play fair play you win you praised you lose he will disdain you
성기훈을 그렇게 생각하잖아요
He would say congrats you're the trash that made it out of the bin
slow clap, probably
I’m not exactly on the same wavelength as the Salesman, but if I did have that mindset, I’d probably be happy for the one person who took the risk and won. Compare it to a bunch of guys running into a burning building to save a hamster. You’d be disappointed in every single on of them. But the one that does come out safe and with the hamster alive, you’d clap, even if that dude was just as moronic as all the other dudes who ran into the building
2:18 Eren is watching!! 😱
He must've told the recruiter to stamp on all the bread. Tatakae, tatakae.
I hate the fact hes wearing the exact same outfit and hairstyle
@RoachHater Funny. Isayama said Eren grew his hair because he no longer needs to worry what Mikasa thinks of his appearance. In anime form, Eren still looks sexy despite this. But if someone stole Eren's look in real life/live action like the guy here, they'd probably look like they're homeless!
Cringe
@@TheGreatOrion80 top tier ragebait
Brilliant. Squid Game made a such an enigmatic iconic character, gave us a hint of his past and then killed him off in a way consistent with his character in episode one so he remains mysterious lmao 👏👏👏
This basically 1$ or mystery gift.
This scene basically show how many of people based their perception of everything on luck because of faith, desperation, and greed make them easier to prey on people like Salesman.
The different is in this scene they are homeless. And they still chose to gamble.
Notice how the bread kinda symbolizes the o, and the lottery ticket the x. Just like in the games, greed over their own life.
It's the other way around buddy
@@ra9ora9o my bad, but yenno what i mean? Lol
I mean you can still edit your comment
He pretty much described the entire driving force behind the game; desperate people would rather take a big risk to have more than take the lesser amount what is handed to them for free.
Every voting round in the games, it is either go home with a secure but less satisfying amount, or take a gamble and have a chance to pull in much more, but with no return if your gamble fails. The bread or the lottery ticket. Taking what is offered, or gambling away for a small chance of everything.
2:39 Bro think he Sonic 😭🙏
He's not even recruiting these people for the Squid Game. He's just being ass-hole to poor people for his personal amusement.
Litteraly this guys shows how half of people nowadays are like this.
The problem is that he offered them a choice. To accept help so they have the energy to work themselves up or throw it away for another gamble.
He’s not being an a hole tho, he gifted them either bread or a lottery ticket. Then criticized them for their foolish decisions. It’s not his fault that most of them chose the ticket and were left with nothing
They shoulda chosen then bread then lmfao, dude was right the whole time
He was insane, but also right. The homeless blamed him for wasting the food but they were the ones who rejected the food for a worthless piece paper
At least that one guy chose the bread, smart choice since it’s hard to win the lottery
He was a really good actor. Feels like you are actually watching something evil when you watch him
Good thing he didn't slip on the bread. Those shoes, soft bread and plastic wraps are a recipe for slipping disaster.
Shout out for the actor to do the scenes with such fervor.
1:35 anyone else notice the yellowy part of his hand? it's a subtle detail, I'm not sure if it's intentional for the character or a skin condition the actor has. It does make sense for the Salesman to have blisters on his hand considering all the slapping he does with ddakji
That's just how callouses look
I never play ddakji but my hands also like that
That’s from the gym when you work out and grab weights/dumbells
It's to signify he has an honest blue collar job
That's because he lifts.

100% chance to eat delicious Korean bread with cream filling
Their mindset is, this bread is only going to last me a few more hours, but If I win the lottery It can last me for years.
@@lukeahn0330 compared to the infinitesimal chance of winning the lottery, i’d be practical and choose delicious food
@@lukeahn0330 though the recruiter is right for saying they wasted the bread also they gambled another time of their life just to try win big but win nothing instead
@@lukeahn0330 Maybe they thought it is kind of social experiment and lottery has prize
@@lukeahn0330 With a gambling mindset that lottery win won't last for years.
That's why you see many people who become rich fast also lose the money fast. Just look at for examples in NHL, NFL, NBA etc. Shaq is a somewhat uncommon example of someone who can make solid financial decisions.
He took the homeless honeybun meme seriously
1:35 haha dude got blisters from slappin ppl daily 😂
1st guy was so sweet😭😭
2:16 *aggressively stomping the living out of the bread*
He values submitting to the outcome of the game more than he values his own life.
I'm glad someone actually take the bread😂because i would choose it too😂😂
Have to say, that floor looks pretty clean and the bread in plastic packaging...if I was starving, I would probably still eat it.
This is game of hope, the homeless people who took the lottery are the ones that hope to win to leave their current state, while the people who took the bread wants something to eat for a meal and stay homeless. Either way, their life didn't change.
Anyone who has studied statistics and human psychology would never buy a lottery ticket.
Ain't no way you expected that from a beggar 😭
@Omkar_Inglegotta be the dumbest take ive seen. You clearly dont know about homeless academy. Where they teach you to be homeless and how lottos work. 🎉
@@BraveShowBoys ?!
@Omkar_Ingle thjis has to be the dumbest take ive seen, you clearly have never been to the homeless academy. Where they teach you have to be homeless and how loitterya
@Omkar_Ingle The commenter is joking.
So many poor people do gambling, not knowing they will likely suffer more than get the prize. It's a global phenomenon.
I’m honestly not surprised he does this in his free time. You could see in season 1 alone that he enjoyed punching Gi Hun a little much.
I like how you can see the calluses in his hands from slapping all those people
I would still eat the bread. It's covered in plastic anyways 😂
They aren’t covered in plastic anymore lol
Unless jumping on them caused the plastic to burst.
Its meant to be humiliating and degrading to eat busted up stomped on food off the ground
This is what I felt dating a single mother @@patrickcho791
What the fucking LoL he was doing 😂😂😂😂!!!! The most funny scene in the movie he was jumping like crazy .😅
So basically bread or lottery were like in the game were voting to leave the game or continue playing. And choosing bread/voting to leave the game was about saving your life.
While choosing lottery/voting to continue the game was like a gambling addiction in the end, you're going to lose, so it's not worth it.
Let's just take a moment to acknowledge that the salesman is fine as hell
i've been thinking how funny it would be if one of those lottery tickets were actually a winner
wish he lived longer
They can't, he's too expensive.
Unless your Elon Musk
He was too Expensive

@@LucasDiblasio Me when I can't get a joke
@@mictoonanimation8852ps do you have any idea what he been doing to budget
It's not a matter of survival and gambling with your life.
Choosing bread means living a life of integrity, not being swept away by the greed of chance.
Choosing to play the lottery is choosing to live a life of daily gambling rather than hard work. Just like Ki-hoon was living off of horse racing in season 1.
He sees his life as doing his job every day and getting a fair price for his labor. That's his idea of a positive life.
He thinks that the people he invites to play squid games are gambling-addicted scumbags. This is shown directly when he confronts Ki-hoon.
He called Ki-hoon a lucky scumbag. He said that Ki-hoon winning first place in the previous squid contest was nothing more than winning the lottery.
"I'm not the one who threw the bread. It was you" -Salesman
This makes sense when I watched it season 1 when losers die in the game or make players kill each other. Either just live your life for another day or more (bread) or throw them away for wealth and fortune (lottery)
As much he is a sadist, he does have a point. We always think of what we want and not what we need. We're all greedy humans. This scene made me question his morality.
Not really, though. Picking bread won't help them, they will still be poor and homeless. What they need actually is to win the lottery. If it was between a job or lottery, then yes they should choose a job, but bread won't help them
@GabrielMPaixao at least picking bread will benefit them in the short term. You have higher chances of being given food by strangers than winning the lottery. And that's the problem with them. Don't take little things for granted.
@@charliepeaThat may be true, but the choice here was between the bread or the lottery ticket. I think you actually give more reason to take the ticket, you can always received food another day.
Nonetheless I can understand your point we shouldn’t take little things for granted.
@@charliepea They weren't starving to death, and the bread would've only nourished them for 5 mins. "Short term" means nothing here.
@@abctalkies6981 You're missing the point. It's not entirely about the expected value (in which case bread is still higher) but also about the mindset.
The person choosing the bread is most likely poor because of outside reasons. Maybe his house burned down, he had to spend all his earnings on some acute and extreme medical condition or something else.
People choosing the scratcher most likely ended up being poor because of bad financial decisions (investing all their savings into memecryptos, betting horses or something else unnecessary).
I like how this scene is representative of the choices that the players can make. If they pick X, it's like picking bread. You may be miserable, but at least you will survive. If you pick O, it's like picking the lottery. You have a chance of making a lot of money and moving out of your current situation, but you also could just fucking die/starve.
90% of gamblers quit before they win big
- This guy probably
bread or lottery? ill take you 😍
My favourite character since season 1 until seeing 001 again
2:15 This makes me sad he just destroyed all the bread without giving to a homeless people.
the reason for it might be that hes just disappointed/enraged at the decision that the homeless people made, i mean at least that + he is like a psycho with a schadenfreude complex
He should have gave it to the dude that chose the bread. He was the only one to choose the correct answer
@@Fusion_4000there is no correct answer. In fact, the lottery objectively is a better option, though the chance of winning might be even less than 1%, but if they actually win it could change their life. The bread, it may fill their stomach for a meal, but in the end they still go back to the same state they were before.
Doesn’t mean they still can’t eat the bread
The first guy looks happy
There must be some bloopers where the guy slipped.
I think it's a one shot scene cause I know that guy wasn't supposed to be slipped a little, for me it's a little awkward but I guess it's good than decimating more bread
Hes just doing side quests IRL after work like a fun hobby
ah hell nah they got hit by that “99% of players quit before hitting big” 😭
If I was homeless I’d probably still eat the stomped bread, as degrading as it may be.
Man was doing it just out of love for the game, respect

Free/cheap food is easy to come by in a modern city. You don’t lose with a free lottery ticket.

its from all the mf he slapped
Gong Yoo stole the whole season in just one episode, I wish they didn't kill off his character so we can see more of his psychotic side
Can’t help it but I find him so handsome and so cool❤
This is what he does in his free time. What a madlad.
dude was getting a rush from that
i’m happy for the guy that chose the bread
Gong Yoo palm with thick skin, this is the proof of his hard work and dedication to his job to become the best actor 1:35
He forgot about the leg day
Funny since he's doing this on his own time with his own money just to amuse and entertain himself with poor Homeless people
Off topic but the 1st homeless guy has such a cute smile☺️🥺
If I was a homeless folk, I would choose bread
Im willing to bet that when they were filming this, all 100 tickets really had no winner
He couldn't outright murder all the people in the park, so he murdered the bread in front of them 😅
Am I alone in thinking that the scratchcard was objectively the better choice?
Sure, one loaf of bread is nice, but it's only one meal. In a few hours' time, they will be back in the exact same position. Furthermore, these people can plainly obtain food (through begging, etc) since if they couldn't they'd be dead already.
By contrast, the scratchcard has the potential to fundamentally change their lives forever. Yes, the chance of success is miniscule. However, the critical point is that it's being offered at no cost. (Normally, scratchcards are a bad deal because of the price you have to pay for them - however, here the recruiter has incurred the cost).
In my view, a free chance of fundamental lifelong change probably beats one free meal.
The mysterious crow showing character in this scene seemed like he was breaking down or like that very interesting and one of best scenes way we see mc beat him at his own game as he shows that he lives up to the bloody game rules he made
0:03 is just so funny
i wonder if the bread and lottery experiment is supposed to reflect the voting scenes in the games.
That's not a troll, he was giving lesson
the trol is where he jump on all the bread 😹
A lesson in what? At wasting food because they choose a chance of changing their situation?
Did you know that in squid game season 2 the scene where the Recruiter did the Bread and Lottery ticket experiment that those poor people were actually real poor people 💀
(This is just something some "did you know" youtube short would say as a joke im sure)
Taking into account that they are vagabonds, you really think that those people care what the food is on the floor or it’s dirty or a guy from there heavy on top but it’s more realistic than the food that was left over at the time put in a shredder or something like that
