‘Squid Game’ star Lee Jung-jae said that his directorial debut ‘Hunt’ is a mix of his decades-long experience as an actor and his dream of making a new type of spy movie.Hunt is a story about two rival intelligence agents in South Korea, Park Pyong-ho (Lee) and Lee Jung-do (Jung Woo-sung), who separately chase after a North Korean spy leaking top secret information that could jeopardise national security. The two end up discovering a plot to assassinate the South Korean president, Yonhap news agency reported.It premiered as part of the non-competition Midnight Screening section at this year’s Cannes Film Festival held in May. It is Lee’s first film where he works behind the camera in his 30-year acting career, during which he has starred in about 40 films and TV series. He also wrote the script of his maiden film.”Although I’ve been in this world for a long time, I thought writing and directing are different from acting. So I hesitated a lot,” Lee said in a press conference.”But I decided to take charge of this project and dived into it.”For his directorial debut, he said that he spent most of preproduction, which lasted for four years, in writing the script.
