Lee Jung-jae Attends 82nd Golden Globe Awards for 'Squid Game 2'
Actor Lee Jung-jae made an appearance at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, representing Netflix's 'Squid Game 2'. The event took place on January 6, 2025, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, where only Lee and director Hwang Dong-hyuk walked the red carpet. Notably absent was Lee's long-time girlfriend, Lim Se-ryung, who has frequently joined him at public events.
This year marks a significant return for 'Squid Game 2', which was nominated for Best Television Series – Drama, even before its full release on December 26, 2024. The series competes against other notable shows including Disney+'s 'Shogun', Netflix's 'The Diplomat', Apple TV+'s 'Slow Horses', Prime Video's 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith', and Peacock's 'Day of the Jackal'.
On the red carpet, Lee Jung-jae showcased a sleek all-black suit, complete with a matching bow tie, exuding elegance as he posed with a smile. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk also donned a black suit but added a white shirt for contrast, enhancing their stylish presence.
Despite speculation about Lim Se-ryung's attendance, she was not seen at the event. The couple has been publicly dating since January 2015 and has often appeared together at various official functions, raising questions about her absence this time. Their relationship has been highlighted in the past, including their joint appearance at the Cannes Film Festival for Lee's directorial debut, 'Hunt', and the Emmy Awards for 'Squid Game'.
Recently, paparazzi captured the couple enjoying a beach date, further showcasing their relationship amidst their busy schedules.
