'Squid Game' has been a syndrome-level hit worldwide since it was released in September 2021. Season 2, which was newly introduced in three years, is a story about Ki-hoon, who returns to the game after vowing revenge, a fierce battle between the frontman, and the real game that begins again, and Hwang Dong-hyuk took the megaphone following the previous episode.

Then "Gi-hoon's character has become frustrating compared to the previous season."It is only natural that it has to change," he said in response to the response. Lee Jung-jae "After finishing the last game in season 1, don't you face a shocking incident while living homeless again?" Finally, while playing a psychological game, he tries to regain his life because he thinks 'Is this over?' but makes a big decision not to go see his daughter. With that energy, I felt it was rather natural because I started from the airport in season 2."
In the meantime, he also expressed his unwavering affection for the character. Lee Jung-jae said, `I want to continue Sung Ki-hoon. Even though he is a small-minded character, he has a lot of affection for him, and he doesn't have much ability, doesn't he say that he will take courage to find justice. I thought that Ki-hoon's small effort was necessary for our society. As the episode went on, I wanted to play Sung Ki-hoon more and more."
He also expressed his honest thoughts on the viewers' likes and dislikes in season 2. Lee Jung-jae said, `Even 10 million movies are divided between likes and dislikes. It's too natural and often experienced. From the perspective of the person who made the work, you should carefully look at various opinions. It's a process that's currently on its way to season 3, so you have to listen carefully to the harsh criticism. There is still room for later work to make the work better," he said.

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.
On the other hand, new faces such as Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-joon, and Gong Yoo, as well as new faces such as Lim Si-wan, Jo Yu-ri, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Park Kyu-young, and Kang Ha-neul, raised expectations. When asked about the actor who was most impressed at the time of filming, Lee Jung-jae was impressed. It felt like I had gathered all the people who were good at acting in Korea. Being good at acting means that you have to observe the other person's acting well. "It was a scene where all the actors observed the other actor and acted together, so none of them matched well with each other less or more." expressed satisfaction.
Lee Jung-jae said of Lee Byung-hun, who returned as a frontman following season 1, `I wondered 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. It was fun to meet you often at the scene and talk about this and that and see you 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 the rehearsal, I had a lot of worries about how to set the tone."

Season 3 will be released in 2025. Regarding the points to watch in season 3, Lee Jung-jae said, `I hope you will watch how Ki-hoon, who fell to the bottom, will be able to get back on his feet." He also said, "I've seen a lot of Cliff Hanger (suggesting a shocking ending) endings through other existing series, and I wondered if we cut it off when we shouldn't cut it off in that respect. Netflix will decide how to cut it and release it at what time. "I think we should do our best to promote it and use our time well until the end for a good performance in Season 2," he said.
