Squid Game (2021 to 2025) actor Lee Jung-jae’s romcom Nice To Not Meet You, in which he stars opposite actress Lim Ji-yeon (The Glory, 2022), is sparking debate in South Korea over the actors’ 17-year age gap.

Nice To Not Meet You is a 16-part series slated to premiere on Nov 3 on South Korean cable channel tvN as well as Prime Video. It pairs Lee, who plays an A-list celebrity, with Lim, playing entertainment reporter Wi Jung-shin. The two find themselves romantically entangled after their paths cross.
