Lee Jung-jae dips "Revolver" and "Akollite" followed by "Squid Game 2" and "Walkleback."

Lee Jung-jae, who dominated the world with "Squid Game" and "Acolite," returned to the domestic theater after a long time.


Oh appeared in Revolver, a new movie by director Oh Seung-wook with a long relationship. Showing off a different class of "class" by impressing the main actor, Oh will continue his journey as a world star with a new season of "Squid Game" at the end of the year.

Released on Friday, "Revolver" tells the story of Ha Soo-young (Jeon Do-yeon), a former police officer who was jailed for all his crimes, who goes straight for one purpose after being released from prison. Lee Jung-jae played Lim Seok-yong in the movie. Ha's lover and the one who blames him for the crime, and the one who often visits the imprisoned Ha and suddenly disappears one day.

Lee Jung-jae's appearance in The Revolver dates back to the previous film "Robbery" by director Oh Seung-wook, Jeon Do-yeon, and production company Man Pictures. He was originally listed in the casting lineup as the male protagonist of the film, but he couldn't be with him due to injuries and other reasons. Later, Lee Jung-jae witnessed a situation where an actor rejected an offer to appear in The Revolver Lim Seok-yong at a drinking party, and he claimed to appear on the spot.



The result is more than expected. Wearing Lim Seok-yong's clothes, Lee worked hard to express his self-interest in hurting his lover for his own safety, the love of a man who can't let go of his hand, and the fear of holding a huge secret that no one can tell with his dry and Parisian face. Friendship is a passionate performance that surpasses that of the main actor, whose role is overshadowed.

Director Oh also praised Lee Jung-jae's performance in "Revolver," saying, "It was amazing. Our movie gave me wings to fly." "I didn't stop coming out for a while just because he was a special guest, but he gave me ideas and acted very aggressively as I thought he was the main character." Audiences' reviews are positive.

Lee is set to return with the Netflix series Squid Game 2 at the end of the year. First released back in 2021, this is the sequel to Squid Game, which created the current World Star, Lee Jung-jae, and features another survival game for his life.

Lee Jung-jae played No. 456 contestant Sung Ki-hoon in the "Squid Game." This film captures the desperation of a middle-aged man's life on the brink of collapse with a face that has fluttered women's hearts for 30 years. With this film, he swept the Best Actor awards not only in Korea but also at leading American award ceremonies such as the Primetime Emmy and the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and has become a "world class."

He became the first Korean actor to be invited to the "Star Wars" world view thanks to his OTT debut, which was more spectacular than anyone else. He appeared in the Disney+ series "Acolite," which was released in June. Lee Jung-jae, who led the Jedi master solo beginning, expressed his inner strength along with a kind and warm teacher. Lee Jung-jae has once again established himself in Hollywood, with "Acolite" recording the highest viewing figures for this year's Disney+ series five days after its release.

And now he's ready to peak with "Squid Game 2." The new season of "Squid Game" is currently in the middle of work on the latter half of the season, which will be split into two and released. First, on Dec. 26, season 2 will take off the veil and end with season 3 next year. Lee Jung-jae will participate in the game again as Sung Ki-hoon. As the only survivor of season 1, the new keyword given to him is revenge. Lee is expected to enrich his character by adding revenge to the desperation he showed during the previous season.

Ha Jae-geun, a pop culture critic, said, "Lee Jung-jae rose to global stardom through the first episode of 'Squid Game' and became an international famous actor when he appeared in 'Acolite,' adding, "Of course, since it is such a successful work, there are mixed expectations and concerns for the sequel, but since it is a hot topic, Lee Jung-jae will be reborn as a bigger actor worldwide based on this."
