Lee Jung-jae, or "Seong Gi-hun" from "Squid Game," is the first Asian actor to win Best Actor at the Emmys.
In a separate interview, Lee revealed that he came from a very poor family. His parents have been through many challenges and their situation was made even more difficult when they needed extra care for Lee's autistic brother.
At the time, South Korea was experiencing a financial crisis and there were not many performance opportunities.
"Më bllokuan kartën e kreditit, makina ime ishte zhdukur dhe nuk kisha para me vete. Kur isha i dëshpëruar, shkova në kompaninë e produksionit për t'i kërkuar që të parapaguanin pagesën e 3 filmave, për të shlyer borxhin tim.”
Jung-jae filloi si model para se të fillonte aktrimin në vitin 1994. Ai është shfaqur në filma dhe shfaqje televizive të panumërta koreane.
Para Squid Game, Lee ishte tashmë i famshëm në Korenë e Jugut, por pas serialit të suksesshëm, ai u kthye në një fenomen në rrjete sociale.
Sipas Today Online, Jung-jae fitoi më së shumti nga i gjithë kasti. Me 9 episode, Jung-jae u largua me mbi 2.2 milionë dollarë, duke u bërë aktori i dytë më i paguar korean.

After 20 years of successful career, Lee spoke in an interview about a very private aspect of his life. For the first and last time, he spoke about his family member, whom he has taken care of almost throughout his youth, especially when his parents were not around.
The 49-year-old is in the prime of his career, but considering "Squid Game" has a second season, perhaps the best is yet to come.
