- Expert hand-to-hand combatant (Blocked a fatal knife strike.)
- Weapon Mastery & Marksmanship (Disarmed and fought off Sang-Woo despite being in a disadvantaged position. Trained with firearms for three years. Engaged in a gunfight with dozens of guards alongside some other players and shot and killed several of them.)
- Social Influencing (Leadership & Charisma: Convinced several players to join his team and managed to befriend a reclusive woman who had a grudge against him. Led the players through surviving the 2024 first game so that only 91 players died while 255 died in the 2020 first game. Convinced a small group of players to join him in rebelling against the guards, capturing the front man, and ending the games.)
- Preparation (Kept a hidden cellar full of stockpiled ammo and different firearms in preparation for his eventual clash with the organization that runs the squid games.)
- Stealth Mastery (Instructed his whole team to hide under the lower beds during the night so as not to be caught and attacked by the pro-game players.)
- Enhanced Senses (Could hold his own and survive during lights out despite not having weaponry like many of the players and the lights flickering on and off. Quickly noticed a camera that the Front Man had been using to spy on him. After searching around the airport he was able to come to the conclusion that their was a tracking chip somewhere inside his body.)
- High Pain Tolerance (Held back Sang Woo’s knife even after getting stabbed through the hand by it.)
Attack Potency: Street level physically and with weapons (Physically overpowered and nearly killed Sang-Woo in a close fought fight, even tearing off a portion of his foot with his teeth. Held his own against Deok-Su and his minions, many of whom can beat people to death with their bare hands. Should be at least comparable, if not superior to other random players who can rip metal bars off of bed frames or choke people to death and snap their necks using bedsheets. Easily pinned a random guy to the wall. Nearly overpowered an armed guard by himself. Utilizes a number of different firearms and has wielded knives in the past.)

Intelligence: Gifted (Although he initially seemed rather lazy and unproductive early in the series and had a habit of making poor decision choices and was known for receiving debts he cannot pay off, he had grown creative reasoning skills throughout the 2020 Squid Game in various ways; including combat, craftsmanship, teamwork, independence, and manipulation, figured out that licking his honeycomb would make the sugar softer and make cutting out the shape easier. During the second season he is far more collected and reasonable, and has made great use of his power, wealth, and connections in his effort to take down the organization running the games, and trained himself in armed combat in preparation, managed to find a tracker chip located behind his ear, planned an operation alongside Jun Ho to oppose the organization, where he also planted a tracker chip into his mouth as a fake tooth to help the rest of the group pinpoint his location. In the 2024 Squid Games he was able to make correct assumptions about the nature of the first game, and he was able to come up with several strategies over the course of the games including a plot to take down the people in charge and put an end to the game, which, although failed because of Dae Ho’s PTSD and Young-Il’s betrayal, did make surprising progress in it’s objective. Used a mask as bait when )
He tends to lose self-control in desperate situations throughout most of the series. His experienced during the Squid Gamed left him with PTSD.
