Actor Roh Jae-won (32) picked Im Si-wan as the best villain in Squid Game 3.

Roh Jae-won met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 9th and interviewed Netflix's original series 'Squid Game 3' (played by Hwang Dong-hyuk, directed by Hwang). Noh Jae-won said, `I wanted to express Nam-gyu's change well"I think it was advantageous to think that he was one of the 456 people going through one big change rather than a villain," he said.

Most of the performers who appeared in "Squid Game 3" selected Myung-ki (Tim Si-wan) as a villain, but as for Im Si-wan, Nam-gyu, played by Roh Jae-won, was the biggest villain. In response, Noh Jae-won said, `I think Si-wan is a villain. Nam-gyu was not good enough, but when Nam-gyu was with Myung-ki in tag, I thought that I finally met my partner, and Thanos ignored me and Min-su was reluctant to me, but I thought that I was going to hang out with my friend because only Myung-ki was with me."




Noh Jae-won was then surprised to see Myung-ki playing the game after he died while watching 'Squid Game 3' with that heart. I, too, walked around thinking I was on par with the stipulation. I was shocked. Myung-ki only knew himself, and he was the most important person. "I didn't know that he was the only one who wanted to win when he held the stick and said 'Turn over the child', but he made that choice and killed the child, and what did you do with Jun-hee?"He looked like a coward when he did ' My brother's courage was good. I was impressed by the performance, and it was an act that Myung-ki understood. It was so understandable that he was trying to live on the edge of the cliff in fear of dying. Watching my brother's performance, he said..."

'Squid Game 3' tells the story of Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae), who lost his best friend in a game that he participated again with his own purpose, the frontman (Lee Byung-hun), who hid himself in the game, and the final fate of the participants who survived the cruel game. According to Netflix's Top 10 To Doom website (Netflix Tudum) on the 9th, Season 3 of Squid Game recorded about 46.3 million (46,300,000) viewers from June 30 to July 6, topping all 93 countries for two consecutive weeks. In addition, Season 3 is the first Netflix series to dominate the top spot in all countries for two weeks, setting new records one after another.

In addition, it reached 163.3 million viewers in 10 days of its release, making it the third most popular series (non-English) of all time on Netflix. This is a milestone for the entire season of `Squid Game' to rank No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 in Netflix's all-time most popular series (non-English). While 'Squid Game' Season 3 is once again writing the all-time record with explosive attention, Season 1 and Season 2, which have been on the weekly TOP 10 list since the release of Season 3, have also been on the third place (Season 1) with 3.8 million (38 million) viewers and No. 2 (Season 2) with 4.9 million (49 million) viewers, marking the splendid finale of the 'Squid Game'.
