The recent season of Squid Game left fans stunned with the unexpected plot twist that tugged at their heartstrings.

Lee Byung-hun was the big villain in all three seasons, but people could not get over his wicked character’s actions in seasons two and three. The seasoned actor went on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and proved that he was nothing like his role.

Byung-hun was giving eye candy as he shared his 10-year-old son’s reaction to the series. The youngster had heard about his dad’s role from a friend at school and confronted him when he got home.

The actor’s son was saddened by his father’s violence in the Netflix series and asked him:

“Why are you so mean? You killed a lot of people.”

The 10-year-old did not understand that his father was only acting. Byung-hun tried to explain his work to his son when he was three years old, but all he was excited about were the cool weapons his dad used.

The episode was a treat to many Squid Game fans as they got to know the man behind the mask. They enjoyed the conversation with Jimmy Fallon, and the snippet posted on the show’s TikTok page reached over 47 million people.

After the unexpected plot twist and heavy cliffhanger, fans wondered if the show would return for a fourth season and were excited about how the filmmakers would keep the story interesting and worth watching.
