‘Squid Game’ Star Wi Ha-jun Talks Hollywood Ambitions & Learning To Love His Character’s Pursuit of Justice


'Squid Game' Star Wi Ha-joon talks playing his first-ever recurring character in Jun-ho, as well as his dream to work with Christopher Nolan.

He crosses paths again with game-winner Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) and Jun-ho embarks on a quest to find the island where another instalment of the violent, winner-takes-all game is taking place. On what he loves most about Jun-ho, Wi points out that he admires the character’s moral compass amid the deep personal strife and emotional turmoil he is experiencing about his long-lost brother. Wi says that the most important keyword that Squid Game creator and director Hwang Dong-hyuk gave him to guide his performance was “balance,” in expressing Jun-ho’s temperament.
