Lee Jung Jae fans are in for a treat in season 2 of the variety show 'Fresh Off the Sea,' where the 'Squid Game' star reveals a whole new side of himself. In the upcoming variety show, Lee Jung Jae trades glamor for grit as he rolls up his sleeves to work at a dried pollack farm.

In the third episode of 'Fresh Off the Sea 2,' airing on April 27, Lee Jung Jae joins cast members Yum Jung Ah, Lim Ji Yeon, Park Joon Myeon, and Lee Jae Wook at an 8,000-pyeong (approx. 28,000 sq. meters) dried pollack farm in Daegwallyeong. 

As the first guest on the show this season, Lee Jung Jae made a grand entrance under tight security in the previous episode. He brought laughter to the set with a surprise prank on the members. Disguised in a roasted chestnut hat, Lee Jung Jae waited quietly for the perfect moment, showing off acting skills convincing enough to even fool his close friend Yum Jung Ah. His loud shout saying “Freeze!” echoed through the drying field, leaving everyone stunned.

The coming episode will also showcase the grueling labor that even a global superstar like Lee Jung Jae can’t escape. He jokingly laments, “I need to be in Milan,” being unable to even straighten his back during the dried pollack work, drawing laughter as he experiences the harsh realities of the job. Adding to the humor, Yum Jung Ah's outrageously large dinner spread leaves Lee Jung Jae in shock, sparking viewers’ curiosity.

Ahead of the episode, behind-the-scenes stills of Lee Jung Jae have been released, catching fans’ attention. In the photos, Lee Jung Jae is seen donning a roasted chestnut hat and pulling playful expressions in the vast 8,000-pyeong pollack drying field. His cheerful demeanor with the “four siblings” and fully synced style in padded gear perfectly match the tone of 'Fresh Off the Sea 2,' building anticipation for the broadcast.

The third episode featuring Lee Jung Jae's hard work at the pollack drying field will air on April 27 at 7:40 PM KST.
