Lee Byung-hun Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Secrets of 'Squid Game' as the Mysterious Frontman

Actor Lee Byung-hun has shared intriguing behind-the-scenes details from the Netflix original series 'Squid Game'.

On July 9, Netflix Korea's official YouTube channel released a video titled 'What Does a 5-Year Game Company Employee(?) Carry? | What's in Frontman's Bag'.

In the video, Lee Byung-hun introduces the props inside the Frontman's bag, a character he portrays in the series.



Taking out the Frontman's mask, which he describes as "the most iconic item of the Frontman," Lee reveals, "I thought many people might be curious, so I'll show you the back. Actually, because it has a strap, you need both hands to put it on. However, when using just one hand, I would stick strong double-sided tape to the forehead and chin area, hoping it would stay on for at least a few seconds."

He continued, "The director wanted to keep my role as the Frontman a secret. So, I thought it would help to slightly modify my voice with a mechanical tone. We prepared several versions of voiceovers, thinking, 'Maybe they won't recognize it?'"

Lee Byung-hun added, "Since it's my voice, I thought people might still recognize it. But the director said, 'It's okay if some people know.' He also mentioned that some might only realize it when the mask comes off, and he hoped it would be like that."
