JAKARTA - The star of the Netflix series Squid Game, Lee Jung Jae said he was very grateful to be able to make his debut as a director and screenwriter for the film Hunt, which had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
"I am very grateful that I made my directorial debut at a time when Korean culture is rising today," said Lee Jung-jae, quoted by Reuters on Monday, May 23.
"Hunt" is an action-packed film that tells the story of two South Korean spies who are tasked with digging up North Korean secret information. Apart from directing and writing the screenplay, Lee Jung-jae will also play one of the spies.
Lee Jung-jae said his nearly three-decade career in acting was helpful when he was trying to step up behind the scenes.

"I try to remember those scenes when I'm writing the script to make sure I can direct as effectively as possible," he continued.
