'Squid Game's' Lee Jung-jae reveals hardest part of new season

Squid Game's Lee Jung-jae has finally dropped a major truth bomb about his experiences filming the new season, as well as the game that gave him the most trouble.

The entire thing was shared during his appearance at a press conference hosted by Netflix.

“Some games are very physically demanding and others are very emotionally demanding,” the actor said at the start according to Express.

“And if I look at all of the games from all the way back in season 1 all the way to season 3, I think each of them have their own unique color and I have different memories of each game.”

However, he did note that “physically speaking, Red Light, Green Light was quite demanding. Because in season 1, I went into shooting the game not knowing, really, what to expect both emotionally and also physically.”

There were also times he admits to feeling ‘very awkward’ and even went as far as to call it “quite challenging, I have to say.”

Still “in season 2 when we shot Red Light, Green Light again, I had to play this role of trying to convince all 455 other players to listen to me, so I would always be screaming at the top of my lungs,” and in doing so quipped “I almost felt like a classroom president trying to quiet down this huge loud classroom.”

In terms of emotional exhaustion he named ‘Mingle’, “because you are in there with these other players. Some you have to embrace and then the next minute you have to neglect them all of a sudden. And then even when you get into the room, if the number is not right you have to end up killing someone.”

“And at the last stage, when you are looking out at that small opening in the door, you have to watch other people die in front of you,” as well he recalled from his time on set.

Hence “I think the entire emotional arc of that game was quite demanding and challenging” too he added before signing off.
