Lee Byung Hun has denied reports of being cast in writer Noh Hee Kyung's new project, stating it is "unfounded." 

His agency, BH Entertainment, confirmed to MyDaily that Lee will focus entirely on 'Squid Game - Season 2' this year. Netflix plans to release the globally successful 'Squid Game' Season 2, with an impressive cast including Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, Kang Ha-neul, and others. 

Particularly, Lee Byung-hun's character, revealed as the brother of Jun-ho (played by Wi Ha-jun) and the first winner of the survival game, adds intrigue to the upcoming season. 

Additionally, Lee won Best Actor at the 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards for his role in 'Concrete Utopia', marking his second win after 'Inside Men' in 2016.
