More about Lee Yoo-mi of Squid Game
Lee Yoo-mi made her film debut in the 2010 thriller The Yellow Sea, more than a decade ago. Until her involvement in Squid Game, the actress had only appeared in tiny parts in films and plays. Viewers and reviewers alike praised the 27-year-depiction old’s of Ji-yeong, or Player no. 240. Despite playing a little role, the character created an indelible effect, particularly considering her connection with Jung Ho-character, yeon’s Kang Sae-byeok.
The woman used to work as a food delivery worker before rising to worldwide prominence with the zombie apocalypse movie. In contrast to her character in Squid Game, who was empathic and kind, the actor’s role in All of Us Are Dead, Lee Na-yeon, was selfish, obnoxious, and eager to abandon friends in an instant.
Despite the fact that Squid Games will be published in September 2021 and All of Us Are Dead will be released in January 2022, the actress said that she shot both series concurrently. The 27-year-old actress has another well-known project in the works: she recently collaborated with Ong Seong-wu and Byun Woo-seok on a sequel to the iconic K-drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.
