He is known for his passion in fitness and training. In an interview after photoshoot, he explained, “I have been building muscle with bodyweight training since I was in the military. I usually go to the gym five days a week to work out, but now I do it at home due to the pandemic.”

Wi Ha Joon shared his thoughts on Squid Game’s huge success by saying, “I read the script in a blink of an eye, and I was just blown away by how immersive it was. It was something that I’ve never seen before and I loved the character, Hwang Joon Ho, so I decided to star in the series.”

When asked about his on-screen teamwork with Lee Jung Jae, he replied, “Unfortunately, I didn’t have many scenes with him so, it was a bit of a bummer that I didn’t get to see him much in person. But he definitely showed something different, something he has never shown before, in this series. I could see that his steps and gaze were those of his character and his acting deeply inspired me.
