The star of the iconic K-drama “Squid Game,” Lee Jung-jae, recently grabbed attention for reasons other than his acting. Fans were taken aback by his appearance in unfiltered footage from an interview on the red carpet. While his skin looked flawless in promotional photos, the raw video revealed the 52-year-old actor without any filters or editing.
During the interview, Lee showed visible wrinkles and sagging skin on his neck, which contrasted sharply with his usual polished on-screen look. Although he appeared natural for his age, the sudden shift from the highly retouched promotional images to the unedited footage sparked a lot of discussion.
Many fans pointed out the changes in his face and neck. One user commented, “Look at his neck…” while others said, “Wow, he’s aged so much…” and “Is that makeup? No, it can’t be.”
Lee Jung-jae is renowned for his transformative abilities for roles, and his gaunt look in “Squid Game” added to the drama’s intensity. However, the interview exposed a different, more natural side of him, one that many fans weren’t expecting.
In another note, not too long ago, Lee Jung-jae found himself embroiled in a scandal when he was accused of fraud, though he has completely denied the allegations. His “Squid Game” co-star, Lee Byung-hun, also recently faced controversy over his collaboration with the controversial rapper T.O.P, who played a major role in Season 2.
