Abstract: The research aims at analyzing the character 001 in the film Series Squid Game by using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic study. The research theme is about the personality psychology of the main character Oh-Il Nam. It will be analyzed using the theory of communication psychology from Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis study which includes the Id, the Ego, and the Superego. It is a qualitative research type and the results of the analysis will be presented in a descriptive narrative way. The research results show that the Id in the character 001 is an egoistic attitude and he wants to save himself. The ego in the character 001 is fair in reality which is based on the principle of reality and morals. The character 001 does something more important than satisfying his own needs. When it is the Superego it upholds the moral aspect, it is shown that he always says thank you at the end of the sentences he says, and in the other Superego, it upholds polite behavior he always puts forward. From the three personalities of the Id, the Ego, and the Superego which is represented in the character 001 in the film series Squid Game, it can be concluded that the comparison among the three personalities is balanced. In other words, the personality of the character 001 is comparable to the Id, the Ego, and the Superego.
