Roh Jae-won Reveals the Role He Actually Wanted in Squid Game 2

Roh Jae-won’s portrayal of Nam-gyu, the club MD in Squid Game 2, definitely left a mark on audiences with his intense scenes and memorable lines. But here’s a twist: the actor revealed that he actually had his eye on a different role altogether in the series.

So, which character did Roh Jae-won want to play? It turns out, he was eyeing the role of Hyun-ju, a character that would have allowed him to dive into a completely different, more intense experience. Roh shared that he even performed a scene from Hyun-ju’s character during his Squid Game audition.

Why was he drawn to this role? For Roh, Hyun-ju represents a chance to break free from the villainous or heroic types he’s often cast in, and instead take on something challenging and full of creative possibilities. Knowing Roh’s range in acting, it’s easy to imagine how he could have made Hyun-ju his own.

It’s always exciting to see actors step out of their comfort zones and take on roles that push their limits. If Roh Jae-won ever gets the chance to play Hyun-ju in another project, we’re sure it would be just as captivating as his performance in Squid Game 2.
