Not surprised his popularity sky rocked after Squid Game. He is also really good actor. Also Marvel is literally desperate right now for diversity cause they have a lot going on, and Hollywood big names are still mostly white. It was a matter of time that they would start cast more asian actors and korea have some really good ones.

Oh, that's great, he's a very talented actor, and it's good that it looks like marvel is trying more to incorporate actors who are not American to portray characters from other countries, hope this end well
