Actor Noh Jae-won has captivated viewers around the world by returning as an unprecedented villain in the global hit Netflix series 'Squid Game' Season 3. His cheerful thank-you message left on Instagram, along with a group photo of the cast, has also sparked discussions.

Noh Jae-won recently revealed a cast group photo along with a message on his Instagram, saying, 'Thank you for all your hard work on 'Squid Game 1, 2, 3'. Thank you for letting me meet Nam-kyu. I also appreciate being called Nam-soo. Just, thank you for everything. It means so much to me. Thank you for including me in that photo.'

The photo captured key cast members of Season 3 including Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Yim Siwan, and Park Kyung-young gathered together, with a pink-clad agent and the 'Young-hee' doll adding to the symbolism. Fans are expressing their support with reactions like, 'I love Nam-kyu,' 'Not our Nam-soo, Nam-kyu,' and 'This combination is insane.'

The character 'Nam-kyu,' played by Noh Jae-won, showcased a powerful presence in Season 3, elevating the portrayal of the villainous character to new heights. A participant from Club MD, he created conflict with Thanos (played by Choi Seung-hyun) in Season 2, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. In Season 3, he took advantage of Thanos's absence to engage in even more extreme acts of evil.

In particular, he relentlessly provoked and tormented Min-su (played by Lee Da-wit), triggering his trauma, and incited evil deeds in Myung-gi (played by Yim Siwan). Nam-kyu ascended as the top villain of Season 3, harming others without any sense of guilt.

Noh Jae-won intricately expressed Nam-kyu's ruthlessness and madness, enhancing viewer immersion. From his brutal side that does not shy away from murder to the inner turmoil shaken by withdrawal symptoms, the range of emotions he portrayed was delicately drawn. Domestic and international media have praised his performance, stating it recalls Heath Ledger's Joker.
