Lee Jung-jae recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, saying, "Woo Sung is currently filming in the provinces, so I can't see him often""We plan to meet after our busy schedules are over.""
Lee Jung-jae made a successful debut as a director through the film 'Hunt', which was released in 2022. He is writing the current scenario about his plans for the release of the next production. When writing the scenario 'Hunt', I wrote three or four at the same time. Even now, we are writing three to four scripts at the same time, and among them, there is a joint project with the United States, so it is in progress."
Since then, Jung Woo-sung, co-star of the movie Hunt, caused a stir last year over his private life controversy. This is because model Moon Gabi shocked the public when it was revealed that his son's biological father, who gave birth in November 2023, was Jung Woo-sung. In this regard, Jung Woo-sung's agency, Artist Company, said in its official position that "The child that Mun Ga-bi revealed through SNS is the biological child of actor Jung Woo-sung. We are discussing the best way to raise the child and will do our best for the child as a father. Jung Woo-sung also said that he will do his best and responsibility as a father of the child.
Lee Jung-jae said, "Wo Sung is working hard to film "Made in Korea" (director Woo Min-ho). I'm currently filming in the provinces, and I'm also out of the country for three weeks if it's long or one to two weeks if it's short because of overseas promotions. We'll meet when we're done with our busy schedules."
The artist company they belong to has recently been suspected of being investigated by financial authorities. Lee Jung-jae is running the company, but he is running the company to make his acting life, directing, and production work more active. So I always run a company with the help of a professional manager. I didn't study management, so what kind of business would I do. Management should be done by professional managers. From a professional manager's point of view, it is essential to have someone who works hard like me. If such provisions are carried out well, I think we will make a good company in the future. I want to keep my work."
Meanwhile, Netflix's original series 'Squid Game 2' 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 a real game that begins again, and director Hwang Dong-hyuk took the megaphone following the previous episode. The full film was released on Netflix on the 26th of last month, and it is set to be released in Season 3 in 2025.
