Han Mi-nyeo (Korean: 한미녀; Korean pronunciation: [hanminjʌ]), also known as Player 212, is a character in the Netflix series Squid Game. She is one of 456 players competing for 45.6 billion won in a life-or-death game, and attempts to ingratiate herself with and manipulate other players to survive, including having sex with a gangster called Jang Deok-su.
She was created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, who was inspired to add that sex scene after watching a reality show depicting people on a desert island and women being attracted to male players who are strong and good at hunting. She is portrayed by Kim Joo-ryoung, who Hwang picked for the role. Kim believed that her loud and talkative behavior was a product of her struggling to survive.
She has received generally positive reception, multiple critics praising her depiction as a woman struggling to survive. There was criticism of how the English dub and subtitles depict her, with multiple people arguing that the meaning of her words and characterization was changed as a result.
