Actor Lee Jung-jae said he "does not quite understand why" People Power Party lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun mentioned their drinking occasion together.

Lee Jung-jae attended an interview for the Netflix series "Squid Game" Season 2 held on the 2nd at a cafe located in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. When asked about Yoon's mention of the drinking occasion, he replied, "To my recollection, there was about one (meal gathering)" and added, "It was a gathering of about 30 to 40 people working in the entertainment business." He continued, "There were people like us who produce movies or dramas, and some who make music albums," and explained, "It was not a special meeting between Mr. Jung Woo-sung, the lawmaker, and me, nor was it a drinking party. I don't know why he said that."

Earlier, in December last year, Lawmaker Yoon appeared on the YouTube channel "Kim Seung-woo WIN" and revealed an episode of drinking bomb shots with Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung. At that time, in response to Kim Seung-woo's question, "How much can you drink?" he said, "I once drank with Jung Woo-sung and Lee Jung-jae, and Lee Jung-jae said he couldn't drink anymore around the 10th round of bomb shots," adding, "Jung Woo-sung went up to 26 rounds with me. He drinks well." He then praised Jung Woo-sung, saying, "He is young, in good shape, good-looking, drinks well, and has a good personality," and added, "We drank love shots together. I had a schedule afterward, so we decided to continue next time."

Furthermore, Lawmaker Yoon said, "Do you know who really drinks well? President Yoon Suk-yeol," and explained, "The alcohol we drink is 'social drink,' so we like drinking from the perspective of how to get along comfortably and well with each other, not the style of drinking alone."

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-jae played the lead role of Seong Gi-hun in "Squid Game" Season 2, which was released on the 26th of last month.
