Surreal that one of the greatest and beloved S Korean actors is in the Kelly Clarkson show. Such a legend.

Lee Jung Jae is a legendary Korean actor. Awesome to see him getting airtime in the U.S.

[@Mutantgamer]

A brilliant actor choice for a wise, experienced and kind Jedi Master.

[@prasithoudomvilay8454]

i watchted the first 2 eps so far and he is getting a lot of screen time

[@user-lh1jb2xm3z]

I am not american but just curious.. why do people say he is kind? to me he is just being normal.

[@gellertgrindelwald4238]

Because Jedi are meant to be cool and detached. To them, attachment is just another path to the Dark Side. Master Sol (Lee Jung Jae), however, isn't like that. He is incredibly kind and clearly has a deep bond with Osha. She was more than his Padawan, almost like a daughter. ​@@user-lh1jb2xm3z

I love that Kelly Clarkson despite not understanding Lee Jung-Jae's Korean answers, still looked and listened to him intently.

JJ Lee’s responses to all his interviews are soooo humble. He interviews well (in Korean). 🔥🔥🔥

[@allanchinn8587]

THANK YOU, Kelly for inviting people of races on your show! On other talk shows, I seldom see asian celebrities. You are a wonderful person and a breath of fresh air. There should be more people like you!

[@siiiiiuu7]

It's kinda sad that things like this even need thanking in this day and age. Guess there's still a long way to go

It's awesome to see lee jung jae on kelly clarkson and it's good have a translator with him :) and nice of kelly intro his translator and him

Especially that viral interview with twice! She made them comfortable

So glad to see Lee Jung Jae. I first saw him in the movie Il Mare, which was the inspiration for the movie The Lake House.

[@pablowoo]

Yeah that’s awesome choice. 😅

[@mamamememoo]

IL MARE was so awesome and I felt The Lake House never did it justice.

[@pablowoo]

@@mamamememoo Did you know Keanu was remaking in Hollywood ?! that's also good movie.

[@SpoobSnack]

I was first introduced to Lee Jung-Jae through Squid Games and immediately was drawn in by his acting and his expressions. He has this charm about him that draws people in. He feels very warm and inviting and seems so humble.

[@mymomsrecipesdeletedbyalzei]

I am a fan of hos way back and too his US career blossomed at 51, so amazing who would have thought? So proud of him

[@Nineteenseventyeight]

모래시계때부터 좋아했던 이정재님이 헐리우드 진출하신게 너무 신기하고 좋고 자랑스럽습니다. Truly insane that this talented legend is sitting next to Kelly Clarkson!! 🙏🏻 (Would have been nice to see the translator on screen rather than her being just a voice)

[@mskimsmiraclemath]

The Korean interpreter made a mistake because Mr. Lee said that it was interesting that he got to make his own voice sounds when the light was off.

[@futureright7]

No, Lee said that it's interesting that he makes 'boom boom' sounds in spite of himself when he trains with the light-on sword.

[@stellachoi5949]

​@@futureright7 but the interpreter said that he makes the sound even with the light saber that doesn't turn on. He said that he makes the saber noise even with the light on. She misinterpreted.

[@futureright7]

@@stellachoi5949 I got the point. Thanks.

[@nintenmetro]

The Force is strong with both Kelly and Mr. Lee. We also need to get Amandla Stenberg and Dafne Keen on the show.

[@oceanminded0134]

I love how happy he looks. ❤

[@haemaincinema6331]

I loved Lee Jung Jae when he did period pieces. I'm happy that Squid Game made him such a star internationally and that he's now expanding to sci-fi, but I really hope he'll go back to making awesome period movies again soon!

Lots of Korean actors/actresses who got a few valuable chances in America couldn't imagine the unbelievable moment in the US film markets like this. If they knew that, might've learned English communication skills to communicate with American celebs. Lee is one of them and he couldn't have imagined this awesome interview with Kelly in the US broadcasting program. But his communication skills would be better as time goes by.

[@user-vv5ve5db6q]

Well, he is enough now.

[@balves2]

As someone who watches Korean (as well as lots of other international) content... I wouldn't even dream of expecting those from other countries to learn English beyond a very basic level. Our actors in Hollywood have been marketing their films in other countries for decades and rely on global revenue, and yet, they can hardly string a single sentence together in the languages that they're marketing to. I don't see why the standards would change for actors from anywhere else. If I'm interested in media or an actor from a place that's foreign to me, then I'll gladly read subtitles or listen to an interpreter to understand them

[@illigirl768]

@@balves2 While I wouldn't expect it, English is a very international language, so if you want to expand outside your country it's a great language to invest in learning.

[@woozxvbnm]

well he could understand english he just doesn't speak that, as the intonation/diction would sound off and he don't want to delay the interaction or to cause any trouble in translations, that's better that he have interpreter with him to guide him, watch acolyte he could speak well, and let's not forget the fact that when you speak or made a mistake you'll get laughed up, US is toxic btw being asian is already a factor for criticisms in Hollywood market

[@sandrayakob7077]

🔥🔥🔥

[@TJtheHAWK]

How can he speak so good english on the show but not in real life???

[@SpoobSnack]

Probably because he practiced those lines? He may not feel comfortable speaking in English. It's easier to speak and express yourself in your native language especially if you are not fluent in the other language that is being spoken.

[@yjkim1243]

not a good interpreter. Lee said as a starwars fan he was unconsiously making light saber sounds with his mouth. where as the interpreter says he has to make a sound. poor translation

[@trev.7598]

She had to interpret basically an entire paragraph instantly and from memory for every answer he gave so she’s doing fine

Okay, so how does he speak in the movie?

[@generalilbis]

The trailer for "The Acolyte" honts in a couple of spots that he will be doing dialogue in English/"Basic"...but if his character's dialogue is solely in Basic? One would imagine he learned his lines phonetically and/or piecemeal like an actor whose first language is English having to talk in another language for a role.
