<p> A little after 6 p.m. on August 31, many people were packed in front of the parking lot of the TV station &#8220;TOKYO MX&#8221; in Kojimachi (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo). In their hands were colored papers and movie flyers.</p>
<p> A tall man appeared shortly after, a gold necklace shining around the neck of his pink shirt, dazzling white pants and white leather shoes. The name of the man with his head neatly parted in a thirteenth-century style, exuding a gorgeous, bubbly air, is Lee Jung-jae. He is one of Korea&#8217;s leading movie superstars.</p>

<p><strong> He had already established himself as a superstar in Korea by playing a hard-edged, second-rate actor in such films as &#8220;The New World&#8221; and &#8220;Assassination,&#8221; but in &#8220;The Squid Game,&#8221; which was released on Netflix in 2009 and instantly took the world by storm, he plays a pathetic hero who is nibbling on his old mother&#8217;s shins. In &#8220;Squid Game,&#8221; which was released on Netflix in 2009 and instantly became a worldwide sensation, Lee played the role of a pathetic protagonist who bites the shins of his elderly mother.</strong></p>
<p> Lee is currently in the midst of filming &#8220;Squid Game&#8221; Season 2, but he came to Japan for only two days for the Japan premiere of his first film &#8220;Hunt,&#8221; which will be released in late September. On the same day, he appeared live on &#8220;5 o&#8217;clock! on &#8220;5 o&#8217;clock! When Lee came out of the TV station, all the people gathered around him shouted yellow and rushed toward him.

<p><strong> The film &#8220;Hunt&#8221; is an action movie set in Tokyo in the 1980s. In the film, the &#8220;Tanaka Yakitori&#8221; sign and the &#8220;Stop&#8221; road sign appear, as well as &#8220;karaoke,&#8221; &#8220;fire hydrant,&#8221; and other familiar signs. Fire hydrant&#8221; and other familiar sights are also seen in the film.</strong></p>
<p> At the Japan premiere, &#8220;How did the Japanese audience react to the film?</p>
<p><strong> I don&#8217;t know what Japanese audiences will think. After we finished shooting the film, we thought we had shot it just right, but I hope you will watch it carefully.</strong></p>
<p> He said. Fans would like to see a different Lee from &#8220;Squid Game,&#8221; one that is overwhelmingly cooler&#8230;</p>
