In the series “Squid Game”, Lee Byung-hun plays the role of Front Man. In the first season, the revelation that he was the organizer of the game in the final episode created a turning point. In the second season, his participation in the game as “Player 001”, hiding his true identity, increased the tension of the plot.

The synergy between Lee Byung-hun and Lee Jung-jae has also received significant attention. Lee Byung-hun recalled: “We had met previously during the drama ‘White Nights 3.98’. Even though we worked on ‘Squid Game 1’, there weren’t many opportunities to exchange jokes together. This was the first time we had a real dialogue exchange and it was a great experience.”

He continued: “We have never acted together before, but since our debut periods are similar, we are long-time friends on a personal level. It was amazing, like, ‘We’re finally acting together!’

Lee Byung-hun also elaborated on the Front Man’s feelings towards Gi-hun in the series. “The Front Man inevitably sees himself in Gi-hun. Watching him leave the reunion with his daughter to join the game must have triggered a reaction like, “Oh, really?” As someone who has experienced the darker sides of humanity, the Front Man probably thought, “You haven’t realized it yet” or “You’re still in the dark.” I think he wanted to change Gi-hun’s beliefs, and that served as the driving force behind him coming back as a participant..”

When asked about his moments of self-admiration during acting, Lee Byung-hun said: “People seem to have a hard time distinguishing whether I’m joking or joking. I just thought it was funny, but they thought it was snobbish. It’s a little embarrassing to be someone who tries to be funny”, causing laughter.

He humbly added: “Of course, there are times when I look at the work and think “That was a great scene” or “I did well there”, but these are mostly the result of brilliant editing. The effects really elevated the acting.

As a prominent figure in “Squid Game 2”, Lee Byung-hun also faced various controversies regarding the series. Actor Park Sung-hoon faced backlash after posting an AV parody poster of the show on social media, and actress Park Gyu-young stirred up trouble by leaking a major Season 3 spoiler. Lee Byung-hun said cautiously: “It’s a project that attracts a lot of attention, so it naturally sparks more discussion. If it wasn’t popular, these problems wouldn’t arise. I think this happens because it is a really significant project. However, since these incidents are part of individual activities, I do not believe it is my place to comment.”

When asked about suspicions that BIGBANG’s TOP was cast in “Squid Game 2” due to his connections with Lee Byung-hun and Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun noted, “I listened to the director’s thoughts and found the casting interesting, like, ‘Oh? This role? It’ll be fun.” I didn’t feel the need to clarify whether I influenced the casting or not. I asked myself, ‘Is it necessary for me to comment on this?’
