Was Oh Il-nam ever in danger?

No, Oh Il-nam (Player 001) was never in real danger because he was the creator of the games, but he pretended to be in danger in some instances to maintain his cover, though some viewers debate if he was truly safe in the Tug-of-War, given his desire for a "real" experience. He was protected in Red Light, Green Light (doll didn't scan him) and had ways out in Dalgona (guards would overlook broken shapes) and the final game (he chose to quit). His "danger" came from his desire to feel alive before dying, making the appearance of risk thrilling, even with built-in safety nets.
