Squid Game Star Lee Jung Jae Returns in 456 Uniform
The award-winning actor surprised fans with his iconic green tracksuit uniform, which he wore in the psychological thriller Kdrama.
Lee Jung Jae's agency, Artist Company, took to Instagram, with the actor donning the 456 uniform.
Unlike his appearance in the series, the actor, who took on the role of Seung Gi Hoon, looked absolutely dapper in a tracksuit donning a backcombed hair as he flashed a huge smile and a thumbs up.
"Lee Jung Jae is wearing a green training suit again. Global handsomeness that shines no matter what you wear," the caption reads.
In Squid Game, his character earned the love of viewers due to his kindness towards the North Korean player Kang Sae Byeok (Jung Ho Yeon) and player 001 Oh Il Nam (Oh Young Soo.)
Unfortunately, because of the game's mechanics, only one will be the sole survivor, and the winner of the whopping 45.6 billion won as the cash prize.
