South Korean superstar Lee Jung Jae, globally renowned for his role in the Netflix sensation, Squid Game (2021), and now Star Wars: The Acolyte, revels in the joy of being an actor in an era dominated by social media, which allows real-time interaction with audiences across the globe.


Reflecting on his career trajectory, Lee notes the significant changes since his debut in the 1990s. Initially a model, he transitioned into acting with the TV drama, Sandglass, and gained prominence with the 1998 film, An Affair. His global fame soared with Squid Game in 2021, a series that has continued to be a remarkable milestone in his career.


“For actors, it’s a joy [to see] how the world has changed. We feel closer now, regardless of which country we live in. We have so many types of media and social networks that allow us to feel close to our fans, even though we may be far apart, physically. To be an actor living in these times is truly a great joy. In the early ’90s, when I first started out as an actor, I never felt this close to my fans. Now, I get to share my joy in real time with them,” he said.
