Season 3 of “Squid Game” is a resounding success on Netflix. Lee Byung-Hun, as a front man, reveals behind the scenes of his role. Is he really always under the mask? We have the answer!
Since its release, season 3 of Squid Game has exploded audience records on Netflix, and offers fans around the world the long-awaited conclusion of Gi-Hun’s misadventures. While the intrigues have reached their climax in a final which divided, the interpretation of the front man by Lee Byung-Hun arouses some questions … Is the star actor still present when his character carries his emblematic mask?
We can ask ourselves the question when we know that Pedro Pascal is not under his armor in The Mandalorian when his character carries his helmet!
The challenges of a masked game
Invited to Jimmy Fallon before the launch of season 3, Lee Byung-Hun spoke of the difficulties encountered by playing with a mask. “”It’s like a vision through a lock hole. We barely see“, He explained. This limited vision makes the movements, like going up or down stairs, almost perilous. Despite everything, these constraints have in no way hampered the performance of the actor who has always known how to freeze our blood with each of his appearances, with or without mask.
“”I had to walk naturally and with majesty“he added, emphasizing the importance of posture and body language. The mask, against all odds, has become an expression tool, allowing Byung-Hun to communicate an intimidating authority by his body.

In Squid Game, the front man inspires fear and embodies absolute control. Lee Byung-Hun managed to pass these emotions without resorting to facial expressions. But his charisma and his presence were crucial to give life to his character brilliantly. Even masked, Lee Byung-Hun proves that the acting is not limited to words, and makes it even more justice to its status as a super-star in South Korea but also in Hollywood!
