Actor Kang Ha Neul is proving once again why he's known as a top-tier "good deed predator" in the entertainment industry! His recent actions during the filming of Squid Game 2 have warmed hearts and earned him even more admiration for his kindness.

On December 26, Park Jong Nam, a hand double on Squid Game 2, shared a touching story on his social media. He revealed that he was asked to participate as a hand double for Kang Ha Neul's character, Kang Dae Ho, in a crucial Gongi scene. The scene, which aired in episode 4 of Squid Game 2, became a fan favorite because of Kang Dae Ho's incredible hand skills.

Park explained how, just two days before his wedding in October 2023, he received a call from the Master of Living PD, asking him to be a part of a global OTT project. Even though he had his wedding the next day, Park couldn’t turn down the opportunity. He traveled to Daejeon to film the scene, signing a strict security agreement and getting ready for the shoot. What he didn’t expect was how kind and welcoming the Squid Game 2 cast, especially Kang Ha Neul, would be.

Park shared that he had lunch with big names like Lee Byung Hun, Lee Jung Jae, and director Hwang Dong Hyuk. Despite the hectic filming schedule, Kang Ha Neul took the time to ask him about his Gongi skills and even congratulated him on his wedding. After filming, Kang Ha Neul didn’t stop there—he gave Park a thoughtful gift for his wife, showing just how much of a kind-hearted person he truly is.

"He made me feel so relaxed during filming and even asked me to teach him how to play Gongi," Park said. "I now understand why people praise Kang Ha Neul."

Kang Ha Neul has long been known as a "good deed star" in the industry. In 2023, he gained attention for secretly helping struggling colleagues by renting practice rooms for them to film audition videos. "I know how tough it can be after the pandemic," he shared. "I wanted to help out my friends who needed a place to film without worrying about the cost."

This selfless act, combined with his generosity on the Squid Game 2 set, shows that Kang Ha Neul truly lives up to his reputation as one of the most compassionate stars in the industry. Whether it's supporting fellow actors or giving back to his community, Kang Ha Neul is spreading warmth and kindness into the new year. Fans can’t help but love him even more!

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
