Lee Jung-jae recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, saying, `The temperature difference between the public's reactions will inevitably vary depending on what kind of performance the actor has shown.'
Netflix's original series 'Squid Game 2' has been a syndrome-level hit worldwide since its release in September 2021. Season 2, which returned after three years, is a story about a fierce battle between Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the game after vowing revenge, and the frontman (Lee Byung-hun), who greets him, and the real game that begins again, followed by director Hwang Dong-hyuk's megaphone.

In response, Lee Jung-jae "The friend worked hard on the set. The director gave all the actors detailed directions. Since he is a creator and a writer, he said that he wrote the script with this feeling. I also had a lot of conversations with Choi Seunghyun"It is inevitable that there is a difference in reaction temperature depending on what kind of performance the actor performed. The same goes for me. I think that's something that the actor has to endure," he said.
In addition, new faces such as Lim Si-wan, Jo Yu-ri, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Park Kyu-young, and Kang Ha-neul, as well as existing cast members such as Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Gong Yoo, and Wi Ha-jun, joined the Squid Game 2. When asked about the most impressive actor while filming, Lee Jung-jae was impressed with everything. It felt like I had gathered all the people who were good at acting in Korea. Being good at acting means you have to observe the other person's acting well. "It was a scene where all actors observed the other actors and acted together, so none of them matched well with each other less or more." expressed satisfaction.
Among them, Lee Byung-hun, who worked with him once again following season 1, said, `I was wondering why I couldn't act together because I had no relationship with my brother. I met him briefly in the first episode, but I was happy to work together for a long time in the second episode. I met him often and talked about this and that, and it was fun to see Byung-hun working in person." As for Gong Yoo, who played an active role as a scab man, "I didn't know Gong Yoo's eyes were so uneven." You're good at using it. While monitoring, 'What's this? Isn't he a real nut?' I thought so (laughs). Because he was so good at acting, I felt like I was exploding with energy on the spot. It was important for Gong Yoo to act freely, so I also received the energy well. During rehearsals, I thought a lot about how to set the tone."
Meanwhile, Netflix 'Squid Game 2' was released in full on the 26th of last month. Season 3 is set to be released in 2025.
