Korean actor Lee Byung-hun, best known as the mysterious Front Man in Squid Game, has taken on another villain role before the release of Squid Game season 3. This time, he’s voicing the main antagonist in Netflix’s new animated movie KPop Demon Hunters.
In the movie, Lee voices Gwi-ma, a demon lord who threatens the world while a secret K-pop girl group fights to stop him.
The film, released on Netflix, mixes K-pop music, animation, and fantasy, offering a fun twist on the usual pop star story.
Lee Byung-hun has a long history of playing villain roles. Besides Squid Game, fans might remember him as Storm Shadow in the G.I. Joe movies or the T-1000 in Terminator Genisys. With KPop Demon Hunters, Lee shows a softer, family-friendly villain style, different from his darker roles in action and thriller films.
The movie has been well-received by critics, scoring 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it a strong addition to Lee’s growing list of villain characters.
Fans of Lee Byung-hun can enjoy this new role while waiting for his return in Squid Game season 3 on Netflix.
