I LOVE this part. It is the perfect representation of them having NO idea wtf they were getting into. His life is about to change forever
so was Il-Nam (the old man) always safe? If he had messed up in red light green light or whatever, I assume he wouldn't have been shot?
Yes, the machine was programmed to not shoot anywhere near him. In Honeycomb, he made sure to pick the easiest shape that he was already used to. Tug of War was a risk, but he was a master at it.
He didn't purposely lose to Gi Hun in Marbles out of the goodness of his heart, there was no way he could have participated in the glass bridge and make it out alive...he needed an out. I suspected they figured he wasn't going to be chosen until Gi-Hun did so...essentially potentially saving his own life
