Actor Lee Jung Jae, who gained worldwide popularity with the success of Netflix's 'Squid Game', was awarded the Best Actor Award at the Actors Guild of America Award.

On the morning of the 28th (Korean time), the American Actors Guild Awards was held in Santa Monica, California, USA.

Brian Cox, Keira Culkin, Jeremy Strong of 'Succession' and Lee Jung Jae, who competed with Billy Crudup of 'The Morning Show', won the Best Actor Award in a TV series, attracting attention.

When his name was called at the American Actors Guild Awards for the first time for an Asian male actor, Lee Jung Jae had a very startled expression on his face.

Lee Jung Jae expressed his emotions over and over again, saying, "A very big thing has happened to me. I have written a lot of messages, but I can't read them all."

"Thank you so much. I love the fans who loved 'Squid Game' and our team," he said.

At this awards ceremony, 'Squid Game' was also selected as the 'Best Stunt Ensemble Award', an award given to actors and works with the best action acting.

This was also the first time a non-English-speaking TV series has won an award, so it received warm applause.

On the other hand, 'Squid Game' is a drama in which people who have a lot of debt risk their lives to win 45.6 billion won in a game of memories.

Actor Jung Hae In is finding himself in a very awkward situation over his social media following, and even his good friend Lee Jong Suk has shared his thoughts on the matter!

Recently, Jung Hae In's personal social media account has been flooded with requests from fans to unfollow actor Kim Soo Hyun, who is facing serious personal issues and a legal dispute.

This controversy started after Kim Soo Hyun was edited out of the MBC variety show Good Day, and the public began questioning whether continuing to follow him on social media was a sign of support.

The situation became more complicated when fellow "88s" group member Im Si Wan unfollowed everyone on his list except his agency.

Fans quickly pressured Jung Hae In to do the same, but many felt this demand was unfair.

What really made headlines, though, was Lee Jong Suk’s unexpected reaction to the whole situation. Lee Jong Suk, who is close to Jung Hae In, seemed taken aback by the pressure his friend was under.

He was quoted saying, “It’s just a follow. People need to stop overreacting. Jung Hae In is his own person, and his choices should be respected.” His words have left fans in shock, especially since Lee Jong Suk is usually more private.

While Jung Hae In has done nothing wrong, he’s now caught in the middle of a social media frenzy. Should he unfollow Kim Soo Hyun just to please the public, or should he stand his ground and stay true to his friendships?

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how he will handle this situation, especially with Lee Jong Suk’s support behind him.
