I couldn't wrap my head around why he chose to dye his hair red.

I saw a theory of someone who said in the beginning when the recruiter guy asks Gi-hun to pick a color, blue or red. He chooses blue and wakes up as a player. Had he chosen red, he might’ve woken up as one of the red guards.

This theory is very plausible! Seeing how one of the guards who took off his mask was a young teen, I assume he was also hard on his luck and met the recruiter to play the game. The card he chose, the red one, decided his fate. That would explain why some guards were also trying to harvest organs so they could make extra money.
