Two Men and a Baby: ‘Squid Game’ Stars Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun on the Infant Who Changes the Entire Series


'Squid Game' stars Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun break down Gi-hun and The Front Man's dynamic — and how the baby changes everything.

Halfway through the final season of Netflix’s “Squid Game,” a major character is introduced who ends up having no lines and is mostly played by a robotic doll: Jun-hee/Player 222’s (Jo Yu-ri) newborn daughter. And so by showing that, the contrast between the VIPs, who want to use this for their own entertainment, and Gi-hun’s struggle to protect the baby, I think that story structure itself really makes it nail-biting and unpredictable. I think you’ll notice when you watch these seasons that The Front Man seems to have a special place in his heart for Jun-hee and the baby, and I believe that is because of his actual personal experiences with his wife and child.”
