Lee Jung-Jae, an already busy career
While some may have met him in the main role of the Netflix series Squid Game, Lee Jung-Jae has also had an impressive career in South Korea since the 90s with roles in films such as The Housemaid by Im- Sang Soo. Last year, the actor passed for the first time behind the camera with Hunt, a nervous political thriller. Presented out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022, the film was a great box office success in its country with more than 4 million spectators. Lee Jung-Jae himself forms with Jung Woo-sung a duo of agents launched in a terrible race against time, inspired by real events in Korean history.
