Meet the Cast of Squid Game


Spoilers ahead.

Squid Game has taken over Netflix. So much so that it may soon be the most-watched series on the streamer, ever. (Watch out, Bridgerton.) “We did not see that coming, in terms of its global popularity,” CEO Ted Sarandos said of the Korean survival drama, which is currently ranked number one on the platform worldwide. In addition to raking in massive streaming numbers for Netflix, the successful series may also soon bring international renown to its stars, many of whom already broke through in Korea. While it’s unclear if we’ll get to see more of this story in a second season, you can find out where to see more of the stars below.

Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun

Lee Jung-jae takes the lead as Seong Gi-hun, a gambler who lives with his mother. The model and actor—who has previously starred in An Affair, Housemaid, City of the Rising Sun, and the TV drama Chief of Staff—is surprised but humbled by Squid Game‘s whirlwind success. He reportedly told Star that he’s been getting a lot of phone calls, texts, and congratulatory messages since the show premiered on Netflix.

Jung Ho-yeon as Kang Sae-byeok

Jung is a fashion model with recent magazine appearances in Korean editions of ELLE, Harper’s BAZAAR, W, and Marie Claire. Though she was a contestant on Korea’s Next Top Model in 2013, Squid Game marks her official acting debut. In it, she plays Kang Sae-byeok, a North Korean defector hoping to use the game winnings to make a better life for her and her younger brother, who’s living in an orphanage.

Park Hae-soo as Cho Sang-woo

Prior to Squid Game, Park starred in TV shows such as Prison Playbook and Legend of the Blue Sea. Up next, he’ll star in the Korean adaptation of Money Heist. In addition to the success of the new Netflix series, Park also celebrated a personal milestone as a new dad. He and his wife welcomed their first child together, a boy, on Sept. 29.

Wi Ha-joon as Hwang Jun-ho

Wi plays Jun-ho, a police detective who sneaks into the Game to look for his missing brother. The actor was so “immersed” in the script that he “read it right away,” he recently told Men’s Health Korea. Aside from Squid Game, Wi has starred in films like Midnight and Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, and TV shows like Romance Is a Bonus Book and 18 Again.

Anupam Tripathi as Ali

Tripathi was born in India and moved to Korea in 2010 to attend the Korea National University of Arts, according to India Times. He made his film debut in 2014’s Ode to My Father and landed a number of small roles thereafter. Earlier this year, he also lent his voice to Netflix’s The 8th Night. On Instagram, he thanked viewers for their support of Squid Game, writing, “No words to express my gratitude to the people all over the world, who all are loving and blessing Ali and [Squid Game].”

Kim Joo-ryoung as Han Mi-nyeo

Often called Player 212, the mischievous Han Mi-nyeo is portrayed onscreen by Kim joo-ryoung. The actress’ film credits date back to the 2000s, including Memories of Murder (2003) and Plum Blossom (2000), and, later, dramas like Sleepless Night (2012) and Texture of Skin (2007). Like her costars, Kim has shared a handful of behind-the-scenes glimpses from the Squid Game set on Instagram, making those barracks look a lot less miserable.

Heo Sung-tae as Jang Deok-su

As the Game progresses, this gangster with immense debts to pay soon emerges as the villain of the competition. He’s portrayed by actor Heo Sung-tae, whose credits include 2021’s Beyond Evil and 2017’s The Outlaws, starring Don Lee.

Oh Young-soo as Oh Il-nam

It doesn’t take long for Oh to pull at our heartstrings as Oh Il-nam, an ill, elderly player in the Game with a dark secret. Throughout his decades-long career, the actor has starred in A Little Monk and Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring.

Lee Yoo-mi as Ji-yeong

Lee plays Ji-yeong, a player who joins the Game after being released from prison for killing her abusive father. Also known as player 240, she befriends Sae-byeok during the competition. Elsewhere onscreen, Lee stars in the 2021 teen drama Young Adult Matters, the 2018 TV show It’s Okay To Be Sensitive, the 2010 film The Yellow Sea, and more.

Lee Byung-hun as The Front Man

The Front Man, marked by his geometric black mask and hooded jacket, is one of the most mysterious characters of the series. He oversees the run of the whole operation (though he did not create it) and steps in if staff members step out of line, but he answers to someone too: the host of the Game. The man in disguise is Lee Byung-hun, a prolific actor who’s starred in Joint Security Area, A Bittersweet Life, The Good, The Bad, The Weird, and many more. He’s also appeared in Hollywood flicks like the G.I. Joe series and 2016’s The Magnificent Seven.

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving


On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.

J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.

Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.

Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.

“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.

“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”

This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

Everlane’s Black Friday Sale is Packed With Winter Essentials

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.

The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.

And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.

But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
