The Netflix original drama “Squid Game”, which was launched in September last year, has set off a global craze, and even the actors have gained phenomenal popularity, and they can’t finish winning awards overseas. In fact, after the show signed a contract with Netflix, many actors were invited, but several actors refused, and it was a pity that they passed by the works of the past dynasties, and one of them was the powerful actor Quan Zhongrui.

In 2018, Chung Shui passed the audition of thousands of people and became famous in the movie “Burning” with Liu Yaren. Later, he won the 57th Baeksang Film Queen and the 30th Buil Film with “The Clue of Life”. After winning the award, he became a representative actor of Chungmuro. Originally, director Hwang Dong-hyuk and the production company of “Squid Game” unanimously selected Jeon Jong-seo as a strong candidate for the role of the heroine “Jiang Xiao”, because she has the eyes, image, sensibility, and acting skills that the director needs, and no one doubts her.

At that time, the production team did not communicate to Jeon Jong-seo’s agency, but conveyed the invitation to perform to those who were familiar with her, and decided to hold a meeting. However, at that time, Jeon Jong-seo’s agency was blind and focused on other works under discussion. The director’s meeting has been pushed over and over again, and only recently did the crew select Zheng Haojuan through an open audition. At that time, Zheng Haojuan, who was a supermodel, had an agency, but it was her first time acting. She filmed an audition film in the United States and sent it to the production company. After returning to Korea, she auditioned stage by stage from the assistant director, and finally passed.

After the news that Quan Zhongrui almost appeared in “Squid Game” came out, many fans felt sorry for her, thinking that she was actually very suitable for the role of “Jiang Xiao”. Interestingly, Jeon Jong-seo later played the role of “Tokyo”, who was also born in North Korea, in Netflix’s “Paper House: Korea”, and had a very dazzling performance. Now Jeon Jong-seo, who has changed his agency, wonders if he will have the chance to appear in the second season of “Squid Game” to make up for his regrets?
