00:00He's already changed as a frontman.
00:02Before he went through all this,
00:05he was a human being.
00:06I think it was important for me to be able to
00:11control the scale of his acting.
00:16Hello, I'm Lee Byung-hun, and I play Squid Game.
00:20Let's watch the Squid Game Season 2 video.
00:24Circle! Circle!
00:35I remember that this was the first time we filmed together.
00:44I tried not to give him the impression of being a frontman.
00:55Circle! Circle!
00:58Until the end of the game,
01:01I think he was used as a tool to divide people.
01:06Circle! Circle!
01:12Circle! Circle!
01:22It's been a long time since he lost his obsession with life.
01:27Even if I die right now,
01:28I don't think it's a big change.
01:31I think he's that kind of person.
01:33I don't think he's alive even if he's alive.
01:36I don't know about you,
01:37but honestly, I can't pay the interest I owe you.
01:40If you play one more game and leave...
01:42Jung-bae.
01:45When I came in here last time,
01:47someone said the same thing as you did.
01:52And that person died here in the end.
01:59You can save him.
02:02I heard you've played this game.
02:04We played Season 1 together,
02:07and I was in that space for the first time as a participant.
02:13It was very unfamiliar and strange.
02:16I think that feeling was very strange.
02:18I remember that I needed some time to get used to it.
02:22Even if you pressed X at the end,
02:25at least the people here could survive and leave.
02:28As you said,
02:31if I pressed X and left here,
02:34would people really like it?
02:36If you meet me somewhere later,
02:38thank you so much for saving me then.
02:42I'm living a happy life now.
02:43When he participated as a participant,
02:45he said he would save his family
02:47in a situation where there was no hope
02:50and his life was in the abyss.
02:51He went through a cruel and long process
02:54to become the winner.
02:58I thought there would be no hope for humans.
03:00Still, looking at the energy that I think there will be hope,
03:05I thought he might have seen himself in it.
03:10As you think, humans have hope
03:14and are not animals that can still expect something.
03:18I think it was a psychology.
03:20But in the corner of his heart,
03:22I think he might have been cheering for the energy without realizing it.
03:31My wife is very sick.
03:36I have to do a liver transplant because of acute liver cirrhosis.
03:41But I found out that she had a baby in her stomach
03:44after getting a checkup at the hospital.
03:48She was abandoned at the hospital.
03:49That scene was a scene that was complicated to act.
03:53I don't know if I should think of it as one of the strategies
03:57or if I should tell my story with sincerity.
04:00The character Yeong-il
04:03has three names, Frontman, In-ho, and Yeong-il.
04:09He's a very complicated character.
04:12I think that's why he has a very popular side.
04:16When he tells his story,
04:20it's a moment when he becomes the previous In-ho.
04:23The Frontman, who sneaked in like that,
04:25is a fake Yeong-il.
04:27All the times the Frontman participates in the game
04:31It's a matter of where to put more weight.
04:33He's already changed as a Frontman.
04:36I think it was the most important point for me
04:39to control my human self and the weight in detail
04:43before going through these experiences.
04:46I think it was a detail that I had to pay attention to.
04:50I really need that money.
04:52Even if it's the price of someone else's life,
04:55I really want to save my wife and baby.
05:06You're good at acting.
05:11Thank you so much to all the fans
05:14who watched Squid Game Season 2.
