Actor Lee Jung-jae Talks ‘Squid Game’ Success

Actor Lee Jung-jae has opened up about the success of hit Netflix series Squid Game and revealed how it has changed his life. 

Speaking to Variety, the 48-year-old actor, who plays Gi-hun in the show, revealed he never expected the series to be as popular as it has been.

“I didn’t expect this kind of success at all when I first boarded Squid Game as a project,” he said.

“But when I read the script, I understood that it contained elements that could resonate with everyone and work outside of Korea,” he added.

Despite the huge success of the series, Lee revealed that he is yet to get any calls from Hollywood.

“Nothing much has changed for me as an actor. No proposals or requests have come my way. But, if the right one came along, I’d be happy to be in an overseas production. It could be fun,” he said.
