This is a very SMALL thing, but I can't help noticing the first thing he says "thank you for having me, and my translator, Hailey." Just goes to show how humble, thoughtful, and warm of a person he is. It's the little things, like how you treat waiting staff, how you talk to your stunt doubles, etc, that really set apart "role model worthy stars" and fad celebrities that fizzle out. I hope Lee Jungjae meets even MORE success in the international film/tv industry cause I think he's definitely a worthy role model! In fact, some from hollywood could probably take notes.

Some Western media's evaluation of the standard of the squid game is contradictory and double. Is it just because of the discomfort of the global popularity of English-speaking dramas?

The gentle, kind, humble, and charismatic nature that Lee displays should be a model on which modern masculinity is measured. Class act.

I have always been a huge fan of Stephen Colbert and this interview just made my respect for him grow to another level. He is so respectful and aware. For example, Stephen was ready for a handshake and wanted a fist bump a couple of times but he immediately recognized it wasn't going to happen and did not force the situation. He also pronounced Lee Jung-jae's name correctly! I'm pretty sure he also knew exactly what the dalgona game was and intentionally gave Lee Jung-jae the easy one and himself the hard one so that he could purposefully lose and make the guest feel at ease and also not drag out the interview by actually trying to succeed with the umbrella. Although not a whole lot of new information was revealed from this interview it was very wholesome and Lee Jung-jae was as charming as ever. Kudos to him for publicly recognizing his translator and also for answering in English whenever he felt comfortable with it.

Hello! Thanks for your lovely like and comments on my official page,it's great to know I have such a devoted fan. Much love❤️❤️

The manners. The charm. The talent. Just. Wow.

To let everyone know, Lee Jungjae has always been a Top A-list actor in Korea for almost 30 years. He became famous in the west.because of Squid Game but he was already very famous in Korea for a very long time. If anyone wants to see charismatic or eveil Lee Jungjae, I recommend you to watch 'new world' and 'deliver us from evil'. You will be surprised how versatile he is as an actor.

Where the hell u are seeing all these things in this video..If a person time is good whatever he does will be good and have positive vibes.I guess that's what u are feeling about him

Living in Korea, this was the image of Lee Jung-jae I knew: very classy, always well-dressed, a "cool guy" with an elegant way of speaking. The reason being was because every ad I saw him in, he was portrayed in that way. The funny thing is that Squid Game was the first drama I saw him in, and he played an entirely different character than his usual roles. Anyways, this interview reminded me of the Lee Jung-jae I knew before Squid Game.

Gotta give it to Stephen and his team. There's been a few clips from interviews to the cast of Squid Game done by US/Western reporters that went viral for all the wrong reasons. But Stephen seemed to know his stuff (he even mentioned how Jung-Jae has been popular for a long time in Korea), and bringing the translation and editing it to make it more dynamic was such a nice touch.

One of Stephen’s best interviews with an international actor, both for the interviewer asking very deep, emotional, thoughtful questions and the interviewee being so authentic, kind, and eloquent in his answers. The level of respect for each other really resonates. Bravo!

One thing I can't help appreciating: after years of people demanding Korean actors and singers speak English (I can't count the number of times this was leveled as a criticism against BTS, and it was terrible during the Parasite era!) it makes me really happy to see the slow normalization of entertainers speaking their own language on American TV. There are lots of great interpreters out there who I'm sure don't mind the work, and there are always subtitles! People are missing a lot if amazing entertainment if they let the language barrier limit their choices!

This has never been the case; probably why you can’t count them. BTS is the only Korean singers around here and only be in the US proper for 4 years.

Korean actors have only be around here since Parasite last year, and they always have translators. There is no demanding situation, it hasn’t been for years, that is some delusional stuff of fangirl right there.
