Previously, a photo of actor Lee Jung-jae and former People Power Party representative Han Dong-hoon having dinner together emerged, sparking public interest. It is known that the two attended the same high school.
In a recent interview with Herald POP at a bar in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Lee Jung-jae shared the backstory behind the photo.
He explained, “We’re just classmates who ate together.” He continued, “He also gave everyone a package of freshly made kimchi at the restaurant. I was so grateful that we decided to take a photo together.
He further clarified, “The photo was taken with my camera, but since Han Dong-hoon already had fans, someone nearby must have taken it and shared it. We didn’t publish it ourselves; was uploaded to a community and became public.
Lee Jung-jae also expressed frustration, “It’s just a meal and a gift of kimchi, but people wonder why we met, what kind of relationship we have and where we’re going. These exaggerated assumptions make me cautious while working.
Meanwhile, Netflix’s “Squid Game 2” sees Lee Jung-jae reprising his role as Seong Gi-hun. The series follows Gi-hun, who returns to the deadly games with a thirst for revenge, clashing with Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) as the real game begins again.
