As the highly anticipated third season of Squid Game approaches, Lee Jung-jae, the talented actor behind the iconic character Seong Gi-hun, has shed light on the most challenging games to film throughout the series. With the final installment just around the corner, fans are on the edge of their seats.

In a recent press conference hosted by Netflix, Lee Jung-jae shared his insights with Reach Screen Time and other publications, recalling the most demanding scenes he's encountered.

When asked to pinpoint the toughest games to shoot across the seasons, Lee Jung-jae thoughtfully replied: "Some games are very physically demanding and others are very emotionally demanding."

Reflecting on the entire series, he noted: "And if I look at all of the games from all the way back in season 1 all the way to season 3, I think each of them have their own unique color and I have different memories of each game."

Lee Jung-jae then revealed: "Physically speaking, Red Light, Green Light was quite demanding, because in season 1, I went into shooting the game not knowing, really, what to expect both emotionally and also physically.

"At times I would feel very awkward and it was quite challenging, I have to say. But then in season 2 when we shot Red Light, Green Light again, I had to play this role of trying to convince all 455 other players to listen to me, so I would always be screaming at the top of my lungs.

"I almost felt like a classroom president trying to quiet down this huge loud classroom," he joked.

"And I'd say the other game that was most emotionally challenging was Mingle, because you are in there with these other players," he reflected.

"Some you have to embrace and then the next minute you have to neglect them all of a sudden.

"And then even when you get into the room, if the number is not right you have to end up killing someone.

"And at the last stage, when you are looking out at that small opening in the door, you have to watch other people die in front of you.

"So I think the entire emotional arc of that game was quite demanding and challenging," he concluded thoughtfully.

The official synopsis for Squid Game season 3 reads: "A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal. Picking up in the aftermath of Season 2's bloody cliffhanger, the third and final season of Netflix's most popular series finds Gi-hun, a.k.a. Player 456, at his lowest point yet.

"But the Squid Game stops for no one, so Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone's resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences.

"Meanwhile, In-ho resumes his role as Front Man to welcome the mysterious VIPs, and his brother Jun-ho continues his search for the elusive island, unaware there's a traitor in their midst. Will Gi-hun make the right decisions, or will Front Man finally break his spirit?"

Squid Game season 3 is coming to Netflix on Friday, June 27.
