Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae said that his directorial debut Hunt is a mix of his decades-long experience as an actor and his dream of making a new type of spy movie.

Hunt is a story about two rival intelligence agents in South Korea, Park Pyong-ho (Lee) and Lee Jung-do (Jung Woo-sung), who separately chase a North Korean spy leaking top secret information that could jeopardise national security. The two end up discovering a plot to assassinate the South Korean president.
