Actor Lee Jung-Jae is rumored to have demanded over 1 million dollars in guarantee per episode.
According to Dispatch, “Netflix cannot afford to overlook Lee Jung Jae’s request,” and emphasized, “Lee Jung Jae asked Netflix seeking a substantial guarantee of over 1 million dollars per episode, which means his appearance fees will amount to a staggering total of over 13 million dollars (given the 13 episodes).”
The rumor has triggered lots of reactions and garnered attention from people across the globe.
While a few supported him due to the fact that he was the lead actor for season 1, others frowned at the demand.
However, the actor is yet to give a statement in response to the rumor.
Netflix has announced Squid Game season 2 and revealed that along with the OG star cast, which includes Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-joon, Gong Yoo and Lee Byung-hun, several new faces have joined the ensemble cast.
