Lee Jung Jae Reflects On His “Squid Game” Role, The Secret To His Lasting Career, And More

“Squid Game”; star Lee Jung Jae joined Arena Homme Plus Korea magazine for a captivating pictorial and interview!

Opening up about his already iconic role as Seong Gi Hun in “Squid Game,”; Lee Jung Jae shared, “I’ve been doing this job for a long time and have taken on many different roles. Some were well-received, others less so. I try to stay grounded and view Seong Gi Hun as just one of those roles. Of course, it’s a character from a massively successful project, but I can’t let myself be consumed by that success.”;

He continued, “Still, because it’s a role I spent a long time reflecting on and filming, and because I connected with audiences through the character, there’s also a joy in knowing that it’s become one more defining character in my life.”;

Looking back on his long career, Lee Jung Jae remarked, “I never imagined I’d achieve this kind of success or that I’d be acting for so long.”;

He added, “A long time ago, there came a moment where I thought, ‘From now on, things won’t be like they used to [in terms of my career].’ But each year, I kept hoping that I’d do a good job with one more project. That’s how the years went by. The fact that I did one good project gave me the chance to do another the following year. It wasn’t planned or predictable. Life doesn’t go exactly the way you hope; all you can do is keep working hard. And somehow, that brought me to where I am today. I’m incredibly grateful.”;
