Squid Game creator Hwang Dong Hyuk revealed this information during a commentary with Lee Jung JaePark Hae Soo, and art director Chae Kyoung Sun. His intention behind creating the relationship between Ji Young and Sae Byeok was to contrast the violent, death games with a pure, strong bond between strangers.

They’re complete strangers but there’s some kind of friendship between them. A bond formed in a short period of time. Empathy and understanding of each other. I thought they would be the perfect example to portray such feelings.

Hwang Dong Hyuk first wrote Squid Game 10 years ago, and originally Ji Young was a boy named Ji Yong. But while developing the script, Hwang decided that the “bond between women” would fit in better.

When I wrote this 10 years ago, Ji Young was a boy. The name was ‘Ji Yong.’ But I thought a bond between women would make more sense. I think it’s the scene that makes you cry the most.
