Lee Jung Jae, the star of Squid Game, opened up about how the intense competition left a lasting impact on his character.
“Gi-hun’s journey brought out every side of human nature. At times, he had to look away as others around him died to keep going. But there were also moments when the kindness inside him made him want to help others, even when he was struggling to survive. As the game went on, though, his focus on winning became so intense that he was even willing to kill if it meant staying alive.”
Lee Jung Jae, the lead in Netflix’s Squid Game, also revealed which game he thought was the toughest. “I think it was the dalgona game, the honeycomb challenge.”
