Actors Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun shared their thoughts on wrapping up the previous season of ‘Squid Game’.

Netflix original series ‘Squid Game’ Season 3, which will be released on the 27th, depicts the final fate of Ki-hoon(Lee Jung-jae), who loses his best friend in a game he re-entered with his own purpose, Frontman(Lee Byung-hun), who hid his identity and entered the game, and the participants who survived the cruel game.

At the production conference for season 3 of ‘Squid Game’ held at Seoul Dragon City in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 9th, Lee Jung-jae emphasized, “It was a really good experience to experience Director Hwang Dong-hyuk’s deep and grand worldview together while working on all seasons of ‘Squid Game’.” He continued, “Director Hwang starts with a very big theme and deals with smaller themes in each episode.It’s really amazing that he creates this kind of work while taking care of many characters and maintaining balance.

He added,” I think the greatest achievement of ‘Squid Game’ is that it perfectly expresses everything from social issues to emotional expressions of human relationships.”He continued,” When I meet fans at home and abroad, each of them has different emotions and characters they root for.I’m glad that I can communicate with so many people through this kind of content, and I think the director is truly amazing.”

Lee Byung-hun said after finishing season 3, “I feel bittersweet.I always feel bittersweet whenever a project ends, but ‘Squid Game’ is even more refreshing.” “While promoting season 3 of ‘Squid Game,’ I saw the warm reception from fans in the United States.Even though I’ve only acted in a few Hollywood movies so far, I’ve never felt such great support before.It was a new feeling to receive such great hospitality for our country’s content,” he said.”I still have a lot of overseas promotions left for season 3, but this project has given me new and exciting experiences that I’ve never had before in the long time I’ve been an actor, so it’s very meaningful and different to me.”
