Lee Byung Hun, the lead actor in Netflix’s highly anticipated Squid Game Season 2, recently opened up about a shocking behind-the-scenes moment where he slapped his own cheek during a tense scene. The revelation came through a Wednesday Highlight Reaction video uploaded to Netflix Korea’s YouTube channel.

Seong Gi-hun might be the main character of Squid Game, but Lee Byung-hun has undoubtedly been the shining star of season two. He first appeared to us as The Front Man, the enigmatic overseer of the games, before being revealed as Hwang In-ho, the brother of detective Hwang Jun-ho. That family has some seriously good genes.

Lee Jung-Jae also discuss the "unique chemistry" that emerges between their characters when they find themselves face to face inside the show's brutal death game.
