The actor shared that if he gets an opportunity, he would love to explore Indian Cinema.

He stated that he had a day of mixed feelings when he put on the green outfit of player 456 again.
In an interview with ANI, Lee Jung Jae said, “I would love to be a part of a Bollywood film if I was given the opportunity.” The actor recalled reprising his role of 456 and said, “It was a day of mixed feelings when I put on that green tracksuit with my number 456 on it and I stepped onto the set again for the first time. I also felt the same way when I put back on the red-haired wig. I’ve worked in this industry for quite a long time but I have never felt a rush of emotions like the way I experienced on the day when I came back to the sets of Squid Game.”

When asked what made the show a successful one, the actor added, “I did not expect this kind of success. I think it’s about timing. When Squid Game season one was released, we were in the midst of the pandemic, and I believe it marked the beginning of many global economic struggles, unfortunately. And so many people were struggling in real life, which has been reflected in the characters in Squid Game. I think the overall timing of the show’s release, combined with global events and their impact on the characters, contributed to its huge success.”
The first season of Squid Game was released in 2021. The second season was released in 2024 and the third season in June, 2025. The South Korean drama is a Netflix original show that has gained worldwide popularity.
